Easier said than done, he’s going to have his pick of OC jobs and will probably also have some HC interviews lined up.

Pick of OC jobs? definitely. HC interviews? probably. HC jobs? I actually doubt it as I think he may better serve himself by not getting straight back on that horse.

Basic point is there’s a lot of competition for him. I know he has some ties to DQ but it may not be enough to get him here. The Detroit OC job would be very tempting. I’m keeping my hopes low with him coming here.

It is interesting that Blough, who was also being considered for the Detroit OC job, stayed put. I might have expected the McDaniel ties to DQ to win out over the fact that Blough is in the building. I wouldn't be shocked to see McDaniel in Detroit, and running that offense could be scary.

I think teh Blough signing was as much pre-empting Detroit getting their hands on him as him being the top candidate. I'd be surprised if Quinn hadn't spoken to McDaniels, but he probably said he was still wanting a HC job and Quinn knew he might lose both of them if he didn't make a quick decision. Right decision? We'll know next a season. Right now I'm cautiously optimistic. But if we don't sign a quality DC...
