Itâs so clear and obvious he would have came here. This really makes me angry
Mannnnnnn
Wait, I thought he was guaranteed to take one of the HC positions?Â
Itâs gonna be an interesting comparison all season. Hopefully we got it right.
Ok so we definitely did pass him up what the fuck
This sub told me that he was definitely getting a head coaching job. Was I lied to?
God I hope they’re on Hard Knocks. The Harbaugh + McDaniels dynamic could be incredible.
I want to know what kind of “fit” the FO wantedÂ
Have any of you critics considered the idea he wants to live in LA over everywhere else?
Thatâs going to be a good comparison all year to watch. Hopefully we donât have to wonder, âwhat if?â
All this just for Herbert to get smoked in the wildcard round again
Would have been cool but Iâm good if he wants to go to la over Tampa and probably Philly both better fits by a lot than hairball whatever thatâs on him. Lions will be fine without him let the two men with giant egos crash and burn in LA.
At least its not the eagles
I was definitely on the Mike McDaniel train but if weâre going to judge Petzing based on the numbers itâs worth noting McDanielâs offense rankings at the helm since his days with SF in 2021.
– (2021) 13th in points 7th in yards
– (2022) 11th in points 6th in yards
– (2023) 2nd in points 1st in yards
– (2024) 22 in points 18th in yards
– (2025) 25th in points 26th in yards
If numbers tell the whole story McDaniel has fallen off and only ever created a top 10 scoring offense once in his career.
Dude wanted to stay in a warm climate. Let’s be real.
I honestly dont think he ever wanted to go anywhere cold lol
Iâll take this if it gets him out of the NFC.
How do we know that McDaniels even wanted to coach here? Maybe he interviewed and said âno thanks, I canât see myself here.â I understand being underwhelmed by the hire, but maybe we were never in the cards for him.
Herbert might finally have his hypothetical âifâ season
Turns out his wife is from CA so they might have been his top pick all along.
It was so possible
You guys are reading too much into this. Its as simple as he is chasing the fair weather. The literal fair weather. Southern California > Detroit.
I think a big factor people arenât considering is that McDaniel brings essentially a whole new offense with him. We already have a top 5 offense. What we mostly need is someone to call the plays in said offense, which he is supposedly something Petzing is pretty highly respected for across the league.
If this hire was made before this past year when Petzing was handed an offense that was basically equivalent to our defense the past two years (half of the meaningful starters on IR) but with zero (0) offseason additions, the narrative would be a whole lot different as he would coming off of 2 years of a top 10 running game, and a serviceable pass game despite having a qb that couldnât throw more than 20 yards down field. Which funnily enough with Brissett starting most of 2025 they finished top 10 in passing, and Goff and co are a hell of a lot better than anything he ever had in AZ.
I swear if Drew Petzig doesnât pan out imma lose faith in this fuckass organization
Damn. Herbert bout to go off.
Harbaugh, McDaniel, and Minter pretty nice trio.
I get why they didn’t hire him. He would have only stayed for one season. I get getting someone a little lower that they can build up into what they want. We will just have to wait and see.
Also for all the folks saying he wanted to be here and choose LA when we didn’t pick him.
Per Tom Pelissero he wants a HC Job as nothing has been signed but as an OC he wanted to be with Herbert.

It’s the sun and the designer drugs y’all. Don’t take it personally.
Arizona has out gained and outscored Miami the last two years.
Perfect. If our OC hire doesnât pan out, McDaniel can come take over for Campbell next offseason. The timing is perfect.
