The show also covers news of a Mike McDaniel interview for offensive coordinator, explores OC candidates like Todd Monken and Brian Daboll, and asks: Will Detroit’s front office finally make a splash to keep pace in the NFC North?

Detroit Lions Line Up David Blough for OC interview—Will Campbell EMBRACE an Inexperienced Hire?
07/1/2026 | 27 min
Detroit Lions target David Blough for offensive coordinator interview—does rapid promotion risk playoff hopes? Matt Dery breaks down the latest on the Lions’ search to replace John Morton, spotlighting former Lions quarterback Blough's candidacy and why his inexperience raises eyebrows. The episode explores alternative OC prospects like Brian Daboll, Mike Kafka, Todd Monken, and Davis Webb, weighing their fit with Dan Campbell’s aggressive, physical philosophy. Key discussion points include fan reactions to the offense, concerns about “Buddy Ball” hiring, and deep-dive PFF grades for season-best and worst performers like Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jack Campbell, and Aidan Hutchinson. Call of the Day Josh Martinez with a burning question: Why are the Lions obsessed with man coverage—even as zone schemes show promise against top opponents? Football strategy, off-season coaching moves, and statistical insights drive this must-hear analysis of Detroit’s next steps. #firstlisten Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

BREAKING: Detroit Lions fire John Morton and Front Office fixture Mike Disner interviews in Atlanta.
06/1/2026 | 29 min
Detroit Lions shake up their front office and coaching staff as opportunity knocks for key personnel—will this fuel a turnaround? Rumors swirl as Atlanta Falcons request to interview Lions COO Mike Disner, and Dan Campbell firing offensive coordinator John Morton. Major questions loom about roster competition, particularly in the trenches and the secondary, with Lions icons like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Jared Goff set to anchor the offense. Matt Dery and Lions legend Herman Moore dissect the team's uneven 9-8 season, focusing on defensive struggles, future roster battles, and the search for a new OC—potentially eyeing Todd Monken. From Dan Campbell's self-graded “F” to Brad Holmes' offseason priorities, this episode breaks down where the Detroit Lions must upgrade to reclaim NFC North dominance. Can fresh faces and renewed competition fuel the next Lions playoff run? #firstlisten Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
