Pritchard will take over from interim coach Frank Reich, who stepped in after Stanford axed Troy Taylor in March.
Amid the good news, the Commanders made sure to express their gratitude to the 38-year-old Pritchard. As shown in the video from the documentary series "Hard Knocks," Washington safety Jeremy Reaves spoke on behalf of the team during their team meeting.
"We had a special thing happen to one of ours. We want to give a huge Commanders appreciation to the dude that I've personally been with through a lot. We see him in every aspect of this building, man. Now, he's on a new journey. Super excited for you brother, I'm happy for you, man," said Reaves.
The team room erupted in cheers after Reaves' speech. Based on the reaction of some, it looked like they weren't aware that Pritchard was signed by Stanford.

Thank you, guys for that," said Pritchard, who joined the Commanders in 2023.
