  1. Boiled down to it's essence, you're saying, look at this from McDaniels' perspective. After Miami, he needs to, somewhat, rehabilitate himself. With the Lions offensive weapons the Lions will provide him the perfect opportunity to showcase what he brings to the table. For example, he comes to the Lions and under his direction the Lions set the NFL on fire. Then, McDaniels argument will be this, "if I can build an offense and defense from the ground up and put my stamp on a team, as the 'head coach' this is what I WILL do for your team." So coming to the Lions offers McDaniels the perfect situation he needs for his coaching career. He can just focus on perfecting an offense that is already "locked and loaded."

  2. I dont believe that getting a great OC will fix the lions problems. The lions needs to fix the OL. Need a center, lineman. If Decker retires then we are looking at needed 3 players to replace on the OL

  3. MM should be the prime OC choice than any other candidates the rewards for MM the choice of a better HC opportunity in 27 or 28. Taking the same projectorly as Ben Johnson did to land a better HC opportunity for two years or more. For Lions one to two years opportunity for a SB win.

  4. I'm certainly behind you guys on this hire. My worry is that the Eagles may get him. Let's hope we can get him. As somebody from Woodward Sports Talk said, we won't get him because when was the last time you saw the Lions have something like this fall in their lap?

  5. As a Lions fan I don’t want someone who is only going to spend one year and we have to do this all over again in 2027. Also if he stays two years and leaves we get two compensatory third round picks

  6. Mike McDaniel’s play calling would work great with our talent once we fix oline. Plus I think he will love the fact he can roll the dice a bit.

  7. Dolphins fan here- Mile would be back in his element. He was a great OC in SF but took the head coaching position in Miami before he was ready. He would be smart to join Dan Campbell’s staff and learn from one of the best right now. I liked Mike, he was quirky but as an engineer I got him. He had too much on his plate between being HC and developing an offense. I’m still mad that my team passed on Dan and hired Adam Gase about a decade ago. We would look a lot different if that had happened.

  8. The Lions healthy defensive front 7 gave up 550 rushing yards in 3 GAMES. Their corners are terrible, Arnold is a bust, their all pro safeties have both now suffered career altering injuries, Anzalone is gone. They need a minimum of 3 pieces on the o line. This entire team is not even close. 2026 and probably '27 should be viewed as building gap years

  9. The lions head office especially Holmes, must fix the O-line…. Center, LT or RT if they move Sewell to his natural position when not if, Decker retires.
    Fix the O-line and a good OC will have a much better chance of success.
