Defensive Coordinator TWIST! Commanders David Blough Called a GENIUS by TOP NFL COACH!
The Commanders’ DC search might drag longer as they wait on Jeff Ulbrich’s fate with the Falcons! Plus Ben Johnson says David Blough “will get a head coaching job before you know it,” and the Commanders hire Danny Etling as assistant QB coach. Grant breaks down the BOLD youth movement.
🛡️ DC SEARCH – ULBRICH WAIT
The Stefanski Factor: Kevin Stefanski progressing toward Falcons HC job. Falcons keeping Ulbrich “on ice” waiting for new coach’s decision.
Why Ulbrich Might Stay: Browns keeping Jim Schwartz (won’t go to Atlanta with Stefanski). If Stefanski’s Ulbrich conversations stay positive, he probably stays in Atlanta.
Commanders’ Interest: Ever since Stefanski-Falcons news, insiders briefing that Commanders want Ulbrich. Seems like he’s a TOP CHOICE and they’re stalling until they know his fate.
💬 BLOUGH ENDORSEMENTS
Ben Johnson (Friday): “He’s really smart, has a natural way of connecting with everybody… he’ll be one of those young guys that gets a head coaching job before you know it. He’s a good person, that’s where it starts.”
Colt McCoy (Arizona teammate under Kingsbury): “You’re not gonna find a better person… super smart, picked up offense super quick. He played like a coach, thinks like a coach, acted like a coach, wanted to be a coach. He understands structures of defenses, shades, techniques, coverages, blitzes, how to attack those… more than ready.”
👔 DANNY ETLING HIRED (ASSISTANT QB COACH)
Background: 31-year-old former LSU QB, was at Purdue during Blough’s redshirt year. Drafted by Patriots (2018 Super Bowl year), bounced around NFL/practice squads, played UFL (2024-25).
⚡ THE BOLD YOUTH MOVEMENT
OC David Blough (30, never called plays)
QB Coach DJ Williams (~33)
Assistant QB Coach Danny Etling (31, never coached)
Grant’s Take: BOLD moves that either get DQ fired or touted as genius with eye for talent. How much is Adam Peters’ influence? AP was hired one week before 49ers hired Kyle Shanahan, who got first OC job at 28.
📊 BOTTOM LINE
DC search waiting on Ulbrich’s Atlanta situation. Blough getting elite endorsements from Ben Johnson and Colt McCoy. Entire offensive coaching staff is under 35 with minimal experience – gutsy or genius?
Should we wait for Ulbrich or move on? 👇

What’s the significance of the dollar bill behind you ?
1st Again 🎉🎉 Keep em coming to us GRANT… Your doing a wonderful job spreading the info on our beloved Washington Football Community bro 🙏👍💯 Let's go Washington 🏈🔥🔥🔥💯
If David blough is really good, don’t let him leave fire Quinn and hire him as HC. But we’ll see how he works out
Great job man! Always looking out for your next post!
HTTR
Who are your top picks for DC?
Great video grant
Blough next hc of commanders. We will not win a sb with dq
Coaches gonna be younger then all our players soon 😂
Bobby Wagner, defense coordinator or maybe a coach on the defense
Commanderville 🙄
Keep the pic. Hire Flores or Gannon
You’re doing good Grant !!!
DQ better hire Flores for DC. If not he deserves to be fired if the 2026 season goes left.
Jd5 reminds me of that jones from ne got rookie of the year. 4-6 years he will be back up someplace
happy new year grant will there be staff changes on the offense other than OL lf not why
Do you think they are waiting for the bears playoff run to finish to interview Al Harris ?
Still like Ulbrich.
Great stuff as always Stil curious about who our DQ will be. Also, I hope Blugh dont leave if he is who they say he is :). This is my other account btw sae phoeo lol
Dude im good with the OC hire but man o man im super nervous about this DC hire stefanski is now falcons HC honestly i dont have a good feeling about it at all maybe its ptsd from being a Washington fan since 1991 lol
I am really tired of the hype. They did as well as they did in 2024 because they had a horrendous record in 2023. The new ownership, coach and QB all were hyped up because they knew that were going to have an easy schedule in 2024. So because they did well in 2024 their 2025 schedule was much tougher and we saw what that result was. Don't hype, just perform,
All this speculation is great , but until they fire DA QUINN none of this will matter.
