The situation is what it is and I hope that these guys have the success to accomplish this. With the new rules regarding minority hiring's, there's a few guys that we've added recently who could work their way up into opportunities elsewhere: Anthony Lynn, Duce Staley, Aaron Glenn and Ray Agnew. If we can manage to turn things around, and that's by these guys being the right guys, we could be adding multiple 3rd's to help bolster the team. These guys do have the potential to move into upper roles, assuming that they have success with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 No worries whatsoever. If any of these guys move up to HC roles, its because the Lions have done something. And if the Lions' new organization can draw these guys, they'll be able to draw other good guys if these guys leave. I was kind of lukewarm on the new regime but drawing Staley and John Dorsey to be in support roles, that's an eye opener. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The franchise has not done anything to warrant blind faith. However, we have added some solid young minds, guys with strong football backgrounds and then surrounding with experience. There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen and we'll see if everyone can get along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I call out red flags when I see them, so it's only fair to notice when the Lions do something that is against the typical red flag. Doesn't guarantee success, nothing does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was probably necessary to get him here. I don't know if he has any playcalling experience but Charger fans seem to think Lynn could use some help in that department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karnage84 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 1 minute ago, Just Want A Title said: It could be that Duce Staley is a respected coach. I'm not that familiar with him as a coach and he doesn't have any experience as a coordinator or a former HC. It's just an interesting title. At least for MCDC he had 12 games as an Interim HC. When MCDC was speaking to the media about his experience with Sean Payton, he had spoken about how SP developed a plan to help him in a variety of areas to assist him in becoming a HC in the future. It makes me wonder if this is what he's going to do with Staley - share with him the things he learned with SP and give him roles that will develop him towards a future HC gig.

Louis Friend Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Quote Jalen Ramsey also had high praise to Rams CBs coach Aubrey Pleasant: "In my opinion, this is the best body of work that I've put out in the NFL, and a lot of that is thanks to him." Said Pleasant "for sure" has the skillset to get looks as a defensive coordinator.
