With a potential HC candidate coming out next year like Ben Johnson, is it time to start talking about Pete “retiring” to just his executive VP role and us taking a shot at hiring Ben? Seems like the offense is what is holding us back at this point, and the Lions offense under Ben are getting way more done with arguably less overall talent. Our defense is young and getting better every year, but they aren’t the type that is going to single handedly be winning us games. We need a functional offense that can show up against the elite teams.

I love Pete and definitely want his presence still in the organization, but he isn’t getting any younger and it seems like now is the time to make a change with the very real prospect of drafting a QB next year.

    As an tOSU, I’ll take literally anybody but Jim Harbaugh. But putting my bias aside, I don’t think he would help this team much either. I really think we could use a relatively young offensive minded coach to shake things up here, I don’t really think Harbaugh fits that bill.
