Brad Holmes: Lions are "looking at everything" for next offensive coordinator

The Detroit Lions are searching for a new offensive coordinator following the dismissal of John Morton after one season. Head coach Dan Campbell had assumed offensive play-calling duties midway through the year. The team has shown interest in former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel as a potential candidate. General Manager Brad Holmes stated that the Lions are considering all options and highlighted the importance of leadership, attention to detail, and room command for the role. Holmes emphasized the need for thorough vetting of candidates, regardless of their previous play-calling experience. Morton's departure comes after serving as a senior offensive assistant with the Lions in 2022, and the team is now focused on finding a suitable replacement to lead their offense.
