I mean, there’s a reason this guy constantly made rosters.

Lmfao
Gotta start somewhere I guess, but I don’t think this team needs another first time OC

Trust in dan trust in dan trust in dan
Fuck it, why not. He’s like 30 and acclimated to the modern game completely.

You guys need to realize we’re not getting McDaniels, he’s not getting fired, literally everyone has said he’s keeping the job
Bring him in as an assistant to Dan and promote him once the eventual OC gets a HC job. He’s younger than Goff FFS.
Just literally hire a mother fucker that has DONE IT .
My god this would be so on brand for them. Bring the band back together.
People are going to overreact to this I’m sure
Huh
At least they are interviewing people early. The lions really love guys that came from their programs I guess.
I’m also available if they need me, just won my fantasy league so I know a thing or two about moving the chains
Could be like Kellen Moore. Not a good player but extremely smart when it comes to the game.
Ben was like this at one point. Campbell found him. I trust him.
Whoever it ends up being, I just want them to do a real search this time. It seemed like they just wanted a familiar face in Morton from the get go last year
The first of many interviews I hope
Feels like a “Hey, we like you and we will chat but you’re not getting the job” conversation.

There was another backup QB we had that wasn’t blough who was good with tapes, where is he?
Mind you, he can be a bad player and a good coach, this guy did work with Jayden Daniels after all so take that for what you will
David Blough. That’s his name. That name again is David Blough
In fairness, didn’t Rodgers call him a “film room master” or something? I don’t think he should immediately be hired as an NFL Coordinator but I could see someone like him with playing experience (slowly) entering the coaching realm.

Maybe as a pass game coordinator but not OC
Well we know the swear jars gonna be way less full…
If this is the direction get David Shaw old ass outta there
Can we please go after somebody with some experience and credibility.

Mouse Davis is literally still alive. 93 years old. Bring him back.
Harbaugh for Lions OC?

God.
This could be a courtesy interview too. Getting an OC interview will put Blough on the radar for other teams. I kind of doubt Campbell would interview him if he wasn’t a serious candidate though.
Call David Blough
that’s my name
that name again
is David Blough

I’d like us to go outside of guys that were involved in this regime. I don’t want a yes man. I want someone who has lots of experience calling plays in college or NFL games. Our roster is so good that we don’t need another Ben Johnson. We just need someone competent.
Hilarious how people in here are acting as if they have any damn idea if Blough would be a good hire or not.
