He's been really unlucky for 10 years. He'll turn it around.

Quote:In 2004 he became an OC for the first time and lead the Detroit Lions to the 24th ranked offense, followed that up in 2005 with the 28th ranked offense before being let go. in 2006 he was hired as the OC for the St Louis Rams and led them to the 10th ranked offense only to drop to the 28th ranked offense the year after. in 2008 he went on to become the OC in Tampa leading them to the 19th ranked offense in 2008, 30th in 2009, 20th in 2010 and 16th in 2011. After 2011 he came in to jacksonville as our QB Coach/asst headcoach and didn't really make much of an impact, left the following year to Oakland where he lead the Raiders to the 24th ranked offense in 2013 and the 31st ranked offense in 2014.
Not exactly an impressive resume.
For what it's worth, Greg Olson was only the Lions Offensive Coordinator for 5 games of the 2005 season. That was following the firing of Steve Mariucci and the demotion of Offensive Coordinator Ted Tollner to TE Coach. In 2004, Olson wasn't the OC. Sherman Lewis was. But Olson did become the Offensive play caller for the final 3 games. Hence, Olson called plays in 8 games. Relatively speaking for a team with a problematic QB situation, the Offense was better in those 8 games than in most of the other games. Olson seemed more vertical passing oriented than the other coaches that called plays in those seasons.

Sorry but there is no one on JDubs level... She is on her own planet
Yeah, he sucks. However, there isn't much you can do when the bigger or better names don't want to coach here. You work with what you got and hope you get lucky like the Royals and Rays.

Swaguars is pretty close, he's like the male version of JDub, she is on another level though, whatever is behind the keyboard frightens me.

my guess is a fairly intelligent man in his late 30s whose family has decent but not great money and he also collects disability so he is comfortable with money and can spend his time online perfecting the art of trolling and impersonation.

You're not really helping the agenda of the OP by using facts. Please refrain.
And exactly WHAT pray tell gives you that feeling?
Quote:Not a great resume.

there are so many things that affect those numbers that are out of his control...
let's wait and see...
I have a feeling our offense can be much improved next year

Lol that actually seems realistic.
These out of context rankings are useless
Oh Boy, another rankings thread!!!

One thing that I have noticed is factual mistakes regarding Greg Olson regarding his history. Case in point, the info that OP came across.
An accurate piece of information I'll post below is from the Raiders website. They mention the difference the Lions made in moving the ball when Olson took over the play calling in 2004. Compare that to what you witnessed when the Jaguars beat the Lions in OT in mid November, when the only Offense the Lions got all day long was from RB Kevin Jones. If not for the punt returning of Eddie Drummond, that game wouldn't have been close to going to OT:

Prior to his time with the Rams, Olson spent one season as quarterbacks coach (2004) and one season as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach (2005) for the Detroit Lions. In 2004 Olson took over play-calling duties for the Lions with three games remaining in the season and the Lions offense went on to average 403.6 total yards per game. In 2005 Olson was named offensive coordinator of the Lions in Week 11.
