Anybody have external Ben replacement ideas?

It’s going to be internal.

Scottie Montgomery and Engstrand are going to be the top 2 candidates I think.

Engstrand would be my betting favorite since he’s the passing game coordinator.

Mark Brunell also possible. He’s done a great job with Goff.

Hank and Scottie will continue to scheme up the run game well.

Now the wildcard is if Ben starts trying to take Lions coaches with him.

Agreed and I would have bet on Engstrand as well but with Scottie on the staff I’m not sure who would get it.
Plus there is a chance that Ben takes one of the two with him.

The team that he is currently employed by was in the College Football Playoff

I don’t know about offense, but just in case AG gets a job I hope Dan is in Ryan Nielsen’s ear, telling him to wait out the process until we’re finished.

Whiz?

That would be a home run

The other team eliminated in the semifinal

Interesting. I didn’t realize the connection. I still feel like someone internally for whatever reason but maybe noone is up for the task.

What’s interesting is that Brad Johnson only falls into his current roll because MCDC (and Holmes) whiffed on Lynn right? So again there is no guarantee that these guys nail this next decision!

Kyle Flood?

Another interesting take.

I have no idea. I don’t follow college football much except for draft time.

Paul Chryst.

Renowned for having the most complex and diverse run game in college (excluding QB run). Has worked around QBs with limited mobility. Pass game has had a play action and rip it aspect to it.

Has a long history of calling plays and his downfall coincided with handing over play calling duties due to the pandemic.

He just turned down overtures from Iowa but I think a pro gig would intrigue him.

wouldnt be bad and he never had a QB like Goff at Wisco either

Makes sense. The Kingsbury / Leach air raid offense is an awful fit for Goff. I would’ve loved to see Stafford run it though (even if he isn’t as mobile as Mayfield and Mahomes (who did run it successfully in college).

because Wisconsin Russ wasnt the same as Seattle Russ

I still think Tennessee OC era Arthur Smith is a great fit. Is that guy still in there?

I think Kliff is an awful ball coach

He had a losing record as a college coach with Patrick Mahomes putting up insane stats.

He basically rode one Johnny Manziel secondary action hot streak into 30m dollars. :man_shrugging:
