Former Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough has been blocked from interviewing for a position on Aaron Glenn’s coaching staff with the New York Jets, according to a report by Tom Pelissero.
Blough, who spent time with the Lions as a backup quarterback, was expected to explore a potential role under Glenn, who now leads the Jets. However, the Washington Commanders, where Blough has served as the assistant quarterbacks coach, decided to retain him. Pelissero noted that the Commanders made the decision to keep Blough on their staff, preventing him from pursuing the opportunity with the Jets.
Blough, known for his high football IQ, has long been viewed as a rising coaching talent. His time with the Lions, paired with his experience in Washington, has positioned him as someone who could eventually move into a more prominent coaching role.
The Jets, in turn, are expected to hire Charles London as their new quarterbacks coach. London, 50, previously held the same title with the Seattle Seahawks and brings veteran experience to the Jets’ coaching staff under Glenn. While Blough won’t be joining Glenn’s team this time, his future as a coach continues to look promising, and the Detroit Lions’ former QB remains a name to watch for future coaching opportunities.
