Who should be the next Lions OC?

Campbell gave up play calling to an inexperienced TE coach hired by Matt Patricia. Not sure it means he wants to call plays.

I don't think that's the correct theme...

I think they are looking for fresh perspective, up and coming ideas or new ideas... etc.

Dan may actually call plays if one of those guys were hired by the Lions... But I think it would only be short term... until they (the three of Goff/ new OC/ and DC) were certain they were all on the same page with playcalling, specifically during game situations... Which aren't fully realized (as a new playcaller) until those situations are actually staring him in the face.

IMO.

I don’t know how they think so it could be possible.  I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that they wouldn’t be stupid enough to go into next year with a person calling plays that has never been an OC at any level. 

This also may be a way to get around the NFL hiring rules.   A team can’t block another team from hiring one of their assistants if it’s a promotion.  Hiring someone’s QB coach and calling them OC is a great way to steal an up and comer from another organization.

Exactly.

So I don't think Dan Campbell WANTS to be the playcaller.

I think he would be OK with it for just a few games... to make certain "the new guy", or at least, I mean a new guy who is new to actual playcalling... that everyone is on the same/ right page.

Just my 2 cents.

Who are the experienced OC that are available? They already contacted probably the best one available.

Owners, this guy is too weird to be your head coach.

Dan Campbell isn’t hiring any grown man that wears joggers.
