RANK EM: The Detroit Lions SIX OC Candidates in play right now.

Detroit Lions face a critical crossroads as six offensive coordinator candidates emerge—who truly fits Dan Campbell’s vision? Matt Dery delivers bold rankings, spotlighting Mike McDaniel as a top creative mind for Detroit, while casting doubt on Arthur Smith’s bland playcalling, and examining the rising stock of Zac Robinson and Mike Kafka. From offensive weapons and looming vacancies to Taylor Decker’s possible retirement, every move shapes the Lions’ 2024 outlook.

Bradford Banta from the Lions Squad Show joins to offer a former player’s insider perspective on how coaching chemistry and locker room respect impact the team’s future. The conversation dives into key offseason priorities—including shoring up the O-line, evaluating Jared Goff’s status, and addressing secondary concerns through free agency and the draft. Can Brad Holmes’ draft position at 17 push Detroit into true contender status? The race for the Lions’ next OC just got more intense. #firstlisten
