After the Green Bay Packers announced they were hiring Nathaniel Hackett as their next offensive coordinator, Detroit Lions fans were left with their hands in their pockets. All three coaches the Lions were rumored to be interested in have found coaching jobs elsewhere—four if you include Adam Gase.
Steve Sarkisian headed to the college ranks to join Alabama as their offensive coordinator. Hackett is Matt LaFleur’s latest hire to the Packers. And Todd Monken is the offensive coordinator—without play-calling responsibilities—of the Browns.
So with no rumors to snack on, all we’re left with is speculation and educated guesses.
