A former Lions quarterback is in the mix to be the team\u2019s next offensive coordinator. <\/p>\n

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Commanders quarterbacks coach David Blough is the first identified candidate<\/a> for the job. There\u2019s no word on the timing of Blough\u2019s interview with the team. <\/p>\n

Blough began the season as Washington\u2019s assistant quarterbacks coach and took on the main responsibilities after Tavita Pritchard left to become the head coach of Stanford. Blough joined Washington in 2024 after wrapping up his playing days in 2023. <\/p>\n

Blough\u2019s last stint with a team was on Detroit\u2019s practice squad that year. He was also with the Lions from 2019 to 2021 and appeared in seven games. Five of those appearances were starts during his rookie season and he also made two starts for the Cardinals in 2022. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former Lions quarterback is in the mix to be the team\u2019s next offensive coordinator.
