Detroit Lions, Mike McDaniel
Digest more
The Detroit Lions have reportedly "reached out" to former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel about their offensive coordinator vacancy, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The only major con to hiring McDaniel would be the contract the Lions would have to hand the hot-shot coach. The franchise would likely have to make McDaniel the highest-paid coordinator in the league. While that would be a hefty cost to pay for an assistant, it’d be a worthwhile investment.
Dan Campbell had previous experience with the first three offensive coordinators he's employed as Detroit Lions coach. That won't necessarily be the case with whoever he hires next for the job. Lions general manager Brad Holmes said Campbell is willing to consider outside candidates to replace John Morton as offensive coordinator.
“Ravens QB coach Tee Martin will interview for the Lions offensive coordinator position Monday, per source,” Fowler wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Martin was part of Baltimore’s offensive staff for five years, the last three as quarterbacks coach.”
