"When the Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel, it didn't take long for the Washington Commanders to enter speculation about his next destination. He's got a strong bond with Dan Quinn, who was looking for a new offensive coordinator after parting ways with Kliff Kingsbury. The dots seemed to connect, and excitement quickly enveloped the fan base. It didn't take long for fans' dreams to vanish."
"Pelissero, one of the league's most respected insiders, confirmed that McDaniel will also interview with the Detroit Lions for their vacant offensive coordinator position. Getting a head coaching job may be his first priority, but he wants to cover all his bases regardless. It's hard to believe Quinn wouldn't have reached out to McDaniel to find out his plans. He instantly became the most innovative offensive mind on the market, and it's not particularly close."
Mike McDaniel became a top coaching candidate after the Miami Dolphins fired him, generating speculation about reunification with Dan Quinn in Washington. The Commanders instead promoted David Blough to offensive coordinator, prioritizing retention despite his lack of play-calling experience. McDaniel is interviewing for multiple head-coach openings with the Falcons, Titans, Browns, and Ravens, and will also interview with the Detroit Lions for an offensive coordinator role. Tom Pelissero reported the Lions interview. McDaniel is widely regarded as the most innovative offensive mind available. If Washington did not pursue him, the promotion of Blough represents a significant leap of faith.
