Pride Of Detroit sports

Key Points:

  • The Detroit Lions have four known candidates for their offensive coordinator position: Mike McDaniel, Mike Kafka, Tee Martin, and Jake Peetz, with McDaniel and Kafka being more familiar names to fans.
  • Tee Martin and Jake Peetz are lesser-known candidates; Peetz is noted for his charisma and no-ego attitude but has limited and mixed success as a college offensive coordinator, while Martin is praised as a motivator with coaching experience alongside Todd Monken but has had some setbacks in play-calling roles.
  • The Lions face a decision on whether to prioritize speed in hiring to secure top candidates before playoff teams enter the market or to take their time to ensure the best fit for the role.
