Is there any connection between the two? Have they work together before?

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!

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.

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.

Jim's avatar

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.

Welcome to someone with Super Bowl Champion on the resume!

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).
