The next head coach is inheriting a mess

Yeah. Programming a curriculum for 250+ people, all the individual instructors, having them thinking they can and will be successful, and keeping everyone motivated and aimed at their goals would have ZERO cross over with what a football coach does.

Dan is great at many aspects of what makes a good coach. Where he is weaker, he delegates to good subordinates. If BJ leaves I am sure they will hunt around and find another bright OC to fill the role.

Thing with DA is he was really bad at motivating people or even getting all parts of the team working together. I had a boss like that, good guy, I liked him and he had your back, but really didn't really motivate me to do a good job or even want to be there. He also didn't really seem to have any solutions to the various problems, which was very frustrating. So similar.

I didn't say it had ZERO crossover but that's just admin stuff, I'm sure that guy was brilliant at the technical stuff , the X's and O's of the sport. In designing attack and defense strategies. DC is not, he never designed an offense or defense in his career.

You continue to compare DC to DA when this has NOTHING to do with DA, this is about giving more credit to DC for the Lions turnaround than is deserved.

You don't take into consideration the fact that the Lions had 19 top 100 draft picks since 2020 and they got Goff in the Stafford trade. And of those picks were #2, #3, #7. They have a very good GM in Holmes and HE is the one that runs the draft. They promoted Rob Lohman to run the scouting dept. in 19
What you don't see and refuse to address the points I made is because you just see the surface is that Dan is not the driving force behind the really important decisions in the Lions org. AND he has been the beneficiary of the moves made by Holmes, DC can't even take credit for hiring his best coordinator Johnson he was there when he got there.
His roster is there BECAUSE of Holmes. C'mon man surely you can look a lil deeper and see that
