Insanely fast rise.

Feels like something external spurred this on as we had only just confirmed an interview with Tee Martin 30mins before this. Im sure theres a story here.

Very curious to here his first presser as new OC. Most of the local media I listen to were banging the David Blough drum from early.

  1. Yeah the super fast trajectory concerns me, especially since he’s only been an coach for two years

    I mean I’m willing to give him an shot. I’m more worried about the defense honestly

  2. If this works DQ looks like a genius.

    If it doesn’t work, we’re looking for a new head coach this time next year.

  4. Fearless pick. I believe this shows AP wasnt meddling or demanding staff changes. This is DQ picking a guy with upside. I like the hire, he’s young gonna probably shift to a Ben Johnson style offense.

  5. Dan specifically said when he arrived that one of his biggest mistakes when he was with the Falcons was not establishing internal coaching continuity. So, as his coordinators were poached, he had no one lined in his coaching staff to take over, and had to hire someone with whom he was not familiar, or promote someone who wasn’t ready.

    Blough was always the front runner, IMO. This most likely would have been Tavita’s job if he would not have been hired by ~~UCLA~~ Stanford.

  7. Idk, Dan Campbell went from special teams coach to lions head coach and that’s worked out just fine…

  11. Whole thing is kinda already another head scratcher.

    I’m sure he will be good at his job – I would imagine that a lot of us here even in this sub could do well given an opportunity like this.

    I just don’t think it’s quite fitting to fire someone and then promote from within that same staff. I understand promoting from within but why build continuity with someone who you kinda fired??

  13. Only thing I like about that promotion is the kid knows JD and knows him well , I got a feeling we’re bouncing back next year

  14. Last time I saw a rise that fast it was back in The Old Days when Norm Van Brocklyn was made HC the day after he retired as a HOF player.

  15. No clue how he’s gonna do, but the brass at Commanders HQ CLEARLY didn’t want a situation where he starts here, then goes elsewhere and flourishes like McVay, McDaniels, Lafluer, etc. He was in high demand, so I’m cautiously optimistic that this can work out. A lot riding on this for DQ as well.
