Overview
- The Lions fired offensive coordinator John Morton on Tuesday and opened a search for his replacement after Dan Campbell assumed play-calling in Week 10.
- Multiple reports citing NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport say Detroit has sought to speak with Commanders assistant David Blough for the vacancy, with no hire made yet.
- Blough, 30, joined Washington’s staff in 2024 and finished the 2025 season as interim quarterbacks coach after Tavita Pritchard left to lead Stanford.
- Washington’s coaching turnover, including Kliff Kingsbury’s departure as offensive coordinator, leaves Blough’s future there uncertain.
- Campbell has said he may keep play-calling in 2026, and any new coordinator would inherit a top-five 2025 offense led by Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta.
