If Petzing doesn't work out we have another OC in house now. Two good OC minds are better than one. I can't wait to see what plans they come up with to run our talented offense filled with weapons. If we can just fix the OL problems with FA and the draft we will be in good hands next year.
A few years ago, after the Patriots fell from the Heavens and become human again, I thought in my mind that they would still get back to the Super Bowl before the rising Lions. Is Drake the new Brady? And what bang and crunch do the Seattle's have that the Lions don't?
I don't care if the Lion's hire the spirits of Lombardi and Shula, as the last two years have shown unless they can stay healthier, they are doomed to being bench flowers.
The fact that it’s mentioned as a “high ranking role” leads me to believe the Lions know Montgomery is leaving. That would seem to be the only “high ranking” role available.
Do we get beans for Scotty taking the OC job in MD? I think we'd get 3rd round beans for this year and next. We'll need them to go up in the draft again.
I was thinking the same thing about bringing McDermott in to mentor Shepherd. Don't give him a room to run or anything, just be around, pay attention, and support Shepherd.

The offense will be Campbell,Petzing, Kafka, Fraley, Goff.
Is there any connection between the two? Have they work together before?
Good question. But no, Petzing and Kafka have not worked under the same head coach before joining the Lions.
Petzing’s head coaching influences include Mike Zimmer, Kevin Stefanski, and Jonathan Gannon.
Kafka’s head coaching influences include Andy Reid and Brian Daboll.
There’s no overlap in their head coaching trees — they came up in different coaching staffs and systems.
Thanks for the reply
Petzing and Kafka
Love this hire. Particularly if he assumes the role of pass game coordinator.
I hope this is a winning move. I mean 68 years without a championship of any sort? Not ever going to the Super Bowl? Let's go guys!

Perhaps lions coach Monty leaving? Shaw?
Odd, to have him on staff breathing down pettzings neck?
If Petzing is intimidated by a talented addition then he wouldn’t be the person the Lions want for the job.
This has to be passing game coordinator, no?
And I hope Scottie Montgomery doesn't leave....I know taking the Raven's OC job would be great for him, but would be great if he stayed as well!

This is a great add! rebuild the interior of the O Line...back in business!
This feels like Scottie Montgomery is on his way out…
But I love the hire… the only thing that could make me even more enthusiastic is if somehow we got Sean McDermott in a similar role on defense.

Welcome to someone with Super Bowl Champion on the resume!
Matt Patricia had several.
Adding great coaches to the staff is as important to adding great players.
Welcome aboard!
Well, maybe it takes two to replace Ben Johnson. Looking forward to seeing how this works out.
Well, this is very interesting (and reassuring).
