It appears there are finally some substantial rumors regarding the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator position. Alex Marvez of SportingNews.com is reporting that there are two candidates in the mix for the coaching opening. According to Marvez, both former Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian and former Jaguars offensive coordinator Nate Hackett are candidates.
Sarkisian was fired after the end of the season, as the Falcons purged all three coordinators following a disappointing 7-9 season. The Falcons offense certainly took a step back—especially after Kyle Shanahan took the San Francisco 49ers head coaching job in 2017.
