Detroit Lions fans got the best news they have heard in a while last week, as the team announced that will not renew offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter’s this season, marking an end to his mediocre era. While Cooter may have been exciting and clever when he first started at the job in 2015, it was clear that it was finally time for a dismissal.
Although Cooter did lose main offensive weapons this season, such as Golden Tate, Marvin Jones Jr., and Kerryon Johnson, that does not excuse the fact that his once-dynamic offense that helped the Lions to a playoff spot in 2016 got stale real quick.
