New O-Coordinator in Detroit
The rumors were true. On comes Ted Tollner, who is known as an offensive visionary. He has worked with Don Coryell, LaVell Edwards, and John Robinson. He also was a head coach at San Diego State and USC.
Like All Things Lion, time will tell. I like it, and I think its what he needs. I don't think Mooch handles the offense well, and Tollner will be able to get our talented players to perform. We have the building blocks, we just have to be less conservative and put Joey in the position to succeed. As seen in our season analysis, a little bit with the ball would go a long way to putting this team in the playoffs.
We've certainly struggled with 49er guys (Marty Morningwood and Mooch (?)), and this guy might be the same thing. But we need innovation, and we need excitement and we need imagination, and that's what this guy does.
Both our coordinators are rock solid now.
Update: Many observers feel this was an ego-protection choice by Mooch. Its somebody who won't challenge him. Who knows. The guy can prove himself. The LLA (Lions Law of Averages) would suggest he will be an utter failure, but let's see. The offense can't get worse.
