No head coaches except Andy Reid call offensive plays that have not previously been successful offensive coordinators. So, it's not a viable long term solution. That being said, i still I like DC over Morton in calling plays during the interim.
Dan went back to running between the tackles with DUO and Gap and running deep Over and Dig routes out of play action like the last 2 years. Morton was trying to run wide zone and too many short timing routes. What this OL does well is aggressively double team at the point of attack and they were trying to finesse their way through things. Dan said lets get back to who we are and I commend him on being a leader and handling it the way he did, but being accountable to say this isn't right and fix it himself. I would expect to see Hank Fraley be promoted to OC/Run game coordinator in the offseason. David Shaw is already the pass game coordinator. If Dan handles play calling next year I am fine with that too. People forget he played TE for a decade. TE outside of QB is the hardest position to learn because like QB, you have to know everything as a TE because you are involved in both the run and pass game as well as pass protection. He is a smart dude.
Anyone who thinks Morton was doing a bad job is delusional. He was #2 in scoring avg 30 ppg. That's an undeniable fact whether you like the plays he called or not.
I like Campbell's play calling, but their best offensive games this year were under Morton vs the Bears and Ravens. It was objectively better vs the Bears scoring more points, and doing what they did vs the Ravens on the road on MNF with those two 90+ yd drives was more impressive than beating up on a bad Commanders team.
Will G Mike, I’m sure Dan Campbell is happy to hear that you approve of him. Lol. You have no problem with Dan Campbell calling the plays? G – I hope not. You’re something else man you are something else. 😂🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I actually thought it was a cool moment for a presdent to get in the booth and talk football, yall can laugh and think its corny but yall the real cornballs laughing
The Chiefs have Nagy as an OC. Don't see why Dan calling the plays is a big deal. Maybe give Morton another shot next year. This doesn't have to be a demotion.
Maybe I'm simplifying things, but if I had to depend on my boss to do MY job that I was paid and hired to do, I would be out of a job sooner than later.
Keep in mind that every team has an offensive coordinator even the ones that were the head coach calls the place meaning there's a good chance that Morton sticks around in the future and runs the offense of game planning and things like that . This is how the other 16 teams do it
Fuck, Rico sucks!

Rico is John Morton
Nobody is talking about Morton blaming the o line and taking zero accountability in his press conf on saturday
Bring back Roberto!he actually brought something to the show
Morton had a Lamborghini for an offense and ran it like a VW bug.
Alright but what about the pistons?

I'm surprised Mike isnt super duper upset about Saint, jmo, and Sammy L doing the Trump dance in the endzone
Could you imagine learning radio broadcasting from rico

Thank god, Illitch doesn't own the Lions. Who thought anyone would say that?
How is Rico employed? Valenti may as well be MCDC and Rico is Morton. Get him out.
Fire both these Turds terrible can't even listen to them two bafoons
What happened to Roberto?
Our offensive line was awesome yesterday against the commanders. Now, let’s see how they perform next week against the elite Eagles.
The Office Space “Milton comp was a good one too! I wonder if they’ll take his stapler away and stick him in the basement too!
“APPLEBEE’S MENU?”!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You sir win the award for the week!
Applebee’s owes you a few rounds for that!
4 times the D let them march right down the field. Heavily injured with back up QB. What will good teams do.

I've never liked coordinators that's call things from the booth
is there a chance that ben johnsons offense is really dan campbells offense ?
That's the Trump effect, baby! Trump was in the house. MCDC had to be the boss…..and basically told Morton YOU"RE FIRED! Lmao
GO LIONS
Rico is the worst and the dynamic between him and Mike does not work

Tight end Bone Spurs 🍊 🤡
I think these guys might actually hate waking up in the morning, knowing they have nothing in Detroit to be negative about lol.
Win: nice, good job
Loss: becomes hot take central

"Where's my streamline stapler"?
Bahahahaaha. Well played.
