Quote:Detroit's situation could be interesting, especially with a former NE guy as the HC. If Caldwell is fired then I could see their GM going after McDaniels or Patricia. Another guy who could be a hot name is Jim Bob Cooter, who has done wonders for the Lions' offense.

 

An awesome scenario for Jax would be hiring Matt Patricia and bringing in Jim Bob to be the OC, if the Detroit coaching staff is relieved at the end of the season.

 

D6, what is your thoughts on JBC?

 

 HolsterHusto,  great post!   You definitely have a good feel for what's going on.

 

 I think JBC is an excellent Offensive Coordinator,  who also is a highly skilled QB Coach.  JBC is the greatest difference for Matthew Stafford improvement in his last 11 games and the Lions Offensive Line having many less mental breakdowns compared to when Joe Lombardi was OC.  JBC provides a very good combination of attention to detail,  creativity,   and not making the blocking assignments overall complex.  Stafford thinks very highly of JBC.

 

 It's interesting what you mentioned as a scenario for the Jaguars,  as it's basically what I hinted at with the Lions in another thread when mentioning that I believe Matt Patricia will likely be an NFL HC in 2017.   The combination of Patricia and Cooter is definitely something I would be totally comfortable with if Jim Caldwell is let go.   If Caldwell is let go and the Lions let Cooter move on,  IMO he would be an excellent choice for the Jaguars as OC.   JBC will probably be an NFL HC sometime in the next few seasons.
