Who should be the next Lions OC?

The Lions talent fits Petzing better than Arizona. Murray in not an under center dropback QB like Goff. 

I agree. I was only posting Petzing's stats in Arizona to share them with the group and as a point of discussion in the event there is anything we can learn from the number. I don't think it is an indictment on him as a coordinator and play caller though. Goff is a better overall QB than Murray. He's more accurate, has better mechanics, makes better decisions with the ball, and stays healthy unlike Murray. As you said, Petzing seems to have an offensive system and playbook built around a more traditional, under center QB. Designed for more runs and play action. Given Goff's a better fit than Murray and has proven he can stay healthy, I think this will be more of a true tell for who Petzing is as a coordinator now that he has the personnel to fit his scheme.

I will wait to see the results on the field, but this not an inspiring hire. I see no track record of success or innovative thinking with this guy.

I’m starting to wonder if MCDC has what it takes to lead this team to sustained success and a Super Bowl. Is it possible that the successes of 2023 and 2024 were more Ben Johnson’s offensive play-calling and less MCDC?

Dan and Brad dragged this garbage franchise out of hell and into the playoffs

But we shall see if they can make the next step

It's like what Mike tells Walter in Breaking Bad.   Just cause you shot Jesse James, it doesn't make YOU Jesse James.

Is this Pretzel guy, or whatever, really good with O-Lines or something?      Hiring anyone from Arizona's staff doesn't move the needle for me much. 

 

But maybe I need to stick with my feelings about Kyler Murray.   That, while being dazzling and flashy, at times, he's not that good and not a winner  and maybe the failure of Arizona is more on him than it is on Kingsbury, Gannon or Mr. Pretzel.       (sorry, I'm just gonna call him that).

Wait… is that you, Coach Lalonde?

I didn't care much for the McDaniel hype, very mediocre results with a claim to fame being a Shanahan disciple, but this hire is very underwhelming. 

With that said, will just have to trust Dan on this one. He's been 1 for 3 so far with his OC hires so....not great. We'll see

You would think being that short he would be able to better utilize Kyler Murray.

I was confident they'd land a guy with a proven track record. I'm underwhelmed. Hate to say this, but if this hire doesn't help them to the playoffs next year, might coach Campbell be on the hot seat?

I don't think so but it might start to get warm which seems crazy considering they were 15-2 just last year but two missed playoffs with all this talent and two botched OC hires would probably make things uneasy in Allen Park.
