Detroit Lions Podcast: Lions Contact Mike McDaniel for OC OC Search Turns to Mike McDaniel The Detroit Lions fired John Morton. The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel. Credible reports say the Lions contacted McDaniel about the offensive coordinator vacancy. The outreach reads like due diligence. He is a viable candidate with an inventive mind and a track record. The question is fit. Practice Tape and Scheme Mismatch Joint practices this summer left scars. McDaniel hardly engaged with players. Aloof and off putting came up around that field. Detroit just moved on from an OC players did not feel connected to. A repeat would be costly. The Dolphins offense landed bottom 10 in scoring and yards in each of the past two years and trended the wrong way. The usage did not match the roster. Tua was asked to throw short to the speediest wide receiving group in the game. The offensive line was asked to hold longer on routes he was not going to throw. That is a disconnect between talent and scheme. In the red zone the tells were obvious. You could read the call from the formation. That predictability helped stall drives. It mirrors a Detroit sore spot from this season. Detroit Context: Adapt or Fail Detroit at times called plays like Sam Laporta and Frank Rigg now were available. They were not. Results suffered. Miami's issues looked similar. In those joint sessions the Lions defense beat the living hell out of Miami, especially the first day. Detroit knew what was coming. Think Tecmo Super Bowl when you pick the play and blow it up. Miami did not adjust. Players did not show fight. McDaniel stood and took it. That picture matters when you weigh scheme flexibility and sideline communication inside this NFL building. Alternatives and a Blough Path There is a workable path if Detroit believes in McDaniel's concepts. Install him as OC and make David Blough the passing game coordinator. Let Blough learn the system for a year or two. Groom him. It is plausible. McDaniel has worked with dynamic offensive weapons. Devon A. Sheen compares to a smaller Jamir Gibbs. Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill thrived in space. Translating that speed and spacing to Detroit could hit, if the calls match the personnel and situation. Tua is not the answer for Detroit over Jared Goff. That is clear here. Todd Monken remains out there, technically still employed by the Baltimore Ravens. He is interesting and has had success in a variety of spots. The Lions need adaptability, clarity, and player connection. That should drive the hire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i89gfyp3uvU #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #mikemcdaniel #offensivecoordinatorvacancy #johnmorton #miamidolphins #jointpractices #lionsdefense #redzoneoffense #davidblough #passinggamecoordinator #tua #jaredgoff #samlaporta #frankriggnow #toddmonken Learn more about your ad choices.

Oh No!, Leroy lashing out at Tobin, and everyone agreeing it's a relief that the Dolphins season is finally over.
TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01632 – 2 de janeiro de 2026 Hebreus 11:35-38 – Alguns foram torturados, […] apedrejados, provados, serrados pelo meio, mortos a fio da espada; andaram peregrinos, vestidos de peles de ovelhas e de cabras, necessitados, afligidos, maltratados […], errantes pelos desertos, pelos montes, pelas covas, pelos antros da Terra. Milhões de pessoas foram seduzidas pela pregação de uma heresia recente conhecida como “teologia da prosperidade”. A convicção central do movimento da prosperidade é a ideia de que é plano de Deus que os cristãos, sempre e em cada caso, tenham saúde física, riqueza e sucesso material. Assim, o alvo da vida cristã seria atingir ilimitado bem-estar materialista. Vemos nisso uma radical mudança de ênfase: da providência centralizada em Deus, tradicionalmente afirmada pelo cristianismo, para a prosperidade centralizada no ser humano. A implicação é desastrosa para cristãos pobres e enfermos. Por falta de fé ou por não estarem utilizando as fórmulas corretas para “torcer” o braço de Deus, eles estariam fora do ideal divino. Neste “evangelho”, Deus é reduzido a um tipo de “gênio da lâmpada” a serviço dos caprichos humanos. Ele e Seu Universo giram ao redor do conforto pessoal. Isso dá a esses pretensos cristãos a “liberdade” de se aproximarem dEle com a imposição de suas fantasias de sucesso e prosperidade, como se a realização materialista fosse a marca de verdadeira espiritualidade, e a solução final de todos os problemas do homem. Tudo o que se precisa é “balançar” o dedo atrevido na face de Deus e “reclamar” aquilo que foi “visualizado”, falar “palavras de fé” ou “dar testemunho positivo” para que automaticamente alcancem aquilo que supostamente foi prometido. O neopaganismo da prosperidade, com base na ignorância da Palavra de Deus, não passa de uma teoria herética, uma versão piorada do hedonismo e materialismo do capitalismo ocidental. O texto de hoje fala de pessoas que não se ajustam às noções fantásticas da prosperidade aqui e agora. A vida delas, com enormes dificuldades, mas em submissão a Deus, envergonha o superficialismo da religiosidade de milhões em busca de “pão e circo”. Ser um discípulo de Cristo não significa que não temos dias ruins. Significa apenas que, em meio à perplexidades e aos desencantos, podemos olhar além e ver que Deus é bom. O que de fato nunca falha é Sua graça, mesmo em nossos vales de sombras e tribulações. Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Pai, obrigado porque pela Tua Palavra podemos discernir e entender os enganos daqueles que estão somente interessados em ludibriar as pessoas que desconhecem a Tua graça e Teu plano de salvação. Ajuda-nos a viver de acordo com a Tua vontade! Em nome de Jesus, amém!
