Even if they didn't ask yet, I am sure they will. Detroit makes sense because they could get McDaniels and (most likely) Cassel.
If I was Josh, however, I would turn them all down. Why bother screwing with a perrenial loser like Detroit or Oakland for your first head coaching job when you can wait a few more years and maybe hit a perfect opportunity with a well run franchise whos coach retires or something (I don't know, maybe New England)? It's not like his stock is going to go down anytime soon, expecially if we keep producing QB's like we have so far.
Of course these are the Lions, so it won't happen.
I've said it before, if any of these organizations had a brain in their heads (which they don't) they'd make a run for Pioli/McDaniels/Cassel as a package deal. The three would provide instant credibility to an organization. By picking up McDaniels and Cassel, a team is gaurenteed to have a QB who fits the system and knows the playbook.
Detroit would be an ideal fit, in my mind. They already have a Randy Moss clone in Calvin Johnson and a pretty solid young running back, along with two 1st round picks. Why draft a college QB, an unproven player who needs to learn a system, learn the speed of the NFL, etc, when you could bring in a proven guy? Why not draft a LT with the first pick instead, and build around your QB/WR combo?
Of course these are the Lions, so it won't happen.
Don't do it Josh its a coaches GRAVEYARD
