ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Jim Bob Cooter may be out of a job, a fall from potential head coaching candidate two years ago to the unemployment line, but don’t think just because the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator is going to change that the offense will suddenly improve.
It might -- and that is clearly going to be the plan for the Lions as they try to find the fourth coordinator to work with quarterback Matthew Stafford in his career. But for Detroit to have an offense that finally works and truly unlocks Stafford’s skill set, change has to come from above the coordinator.
