The Detroit Lions’ offensive shake-up has taken an unexpected twist — and a familiar face is stepping into the conversation.
After abruptly parting ways with offensive coordinator John Morton, the Lions are in search of a new leader to guide Jared Goff and company. But few expected Dan Orlovsky, the former Lions quarterback turned ESPN analyst, to publicly throw his hat into the ring.
Orlovsky didn’t hold back when asked about Detroit’s open position, making it clear he’d love to help rebuild the offense under Dan Campbell’s leadership. Known for his sharp football mind and vocal support of the Lions over the years, Orlovsky has become a fan favorite on ESPN’s “NFL Live,” often breaking down Detroit’s game film with unique insight.
Now, with the OC job vacant, Orlovsky’s name has gained traction among fans and media alike — not necessarily because of coaching experience, but because of his deep understanding of modern offenses and his passion for Detroit football.
While the Lions continue to evaluate experienced candidates from across the league, Orlovsky’s bold self-nomination adds a fascinating layer to the team’s offseason drama. Whether it’s a realistic move or just talk, one thing is certain — Detroit’s offensive coordinator search has everyone watching closely.
