Coaching career
Washburn was hired by the Tennessee Titans as their defensive line coach in 1999. During his 12-year tenure with the Titans, the team ranked seventh in sacks with 474 and fifth in run defense thanks to Washburn's defensive line.[1]
Washburn agreed to a three-year contract as the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive line coach on January 19, 2011. Washburn was fired by the Eagles on December 3, 2012, following a Sunday night loss to the Dallas Cowboys that extended the team's 2012 losing streak to eight games.
On January 22, 2013, Washburn was hired by the Detroit Lions as a defensive assistant.[2] His son, Jeremiah, was the offensive line coach for the Lions until 2015.[3]
Steroid scandal
While coaching at the University of South Carolina, Washburn was embroiled in a steroid scandal that resulted in his (and three other assistant coaches) indictment. Washburn pled guilty, and was sentenced to three months in a halfway house and given a three-year probationary term.[4]
