Thought it was interesting looking back that people were already speculating about Mike McDaniel 4 months ago when our seaon outlook was still optimistic. Of course we assumed that they'd be ripping it up like '24 and Kliff would be this year's Ben Johnson. Didn't turn out quite like we expected, but I'm pumped that Washington will get a chance to develop a phenom coordinator again.

I hope he is. If he’s not we’re probably not doing that we’ll and DQ is gone.
My question is this…
If he turns out to be all that what ate we going to do if any when teams want to poach him for HC?
Never considered that if Kliff got a HC job he probably would’ve hired Blough as OC. Glad we secured him while we could
Good call!
Somebody posted an interview yesterday of Blough last season. It started out with a pretty general question about his role; where he answered pretty unenthusiastically. He was then asked about potentially designing plays to help the team win, and he couldn’t contain himself. Just the proposition of the idea lit him up. He went on to say “thats what you wake up for”. Being able to play the game and find ways to win. That’s what you wake up for.
That’s my literal first impression of the guy along with him being beside himself watching his wife run. These are specs of a much larger picture that will build for however long, but so far, so good.
