CC: Joe Lombardi
May or may not have been drinking.
Pros:
-Probably will be available
-Michigan will lead the nation in field goal attempts
-Gets to tell recruits he coached Drew Brees that one time
-I heard he's related to Vince Lombardi
-Will help fans get caught up on sleep.
Cons:
-Is Joe Lombardi
-His inclusion in a CC thread will probably cause me to get downvoted

The Lions got the wrong Lombardi. We wanted the dead one.

the Lions offense sorta looks like Michigan's offense. So this might work!

I'm pretty sure the Lombardi Offense will look very similar to what UM runs now. The transition will be seamless.

To be honest, we haven't had many CC threads which highlighted pro coordinators, but I can say that this one is going in a slightly different direction in terms of the voting than the Teryl Austin thread from a few weeks ago. Having been tuned into today's Lions game since about 13:30 in the 1st quarter, it is rather understandable, of course.

When asked about freshman playing like freshman (a lot of whom were forced into action via injury) RR said, "Vince Lombardi could come in and not be able to fix some of the problems with this defense."

Maybe "some things just come down to bad luck" would be a better way to phrase it, but 2010 definitely had a lot of problems that even the best coaching in the world wouldn't have fixed (and yes, there were big time problems with the coaching too).

they just lost two games to potentially 2 of the 3 or 4 best teams in the NFL.

I was very disappointed when I saw that spread shotgun formation with NO running back in the back field, when we had the ball at New England’s three yard line.
I said to myself. Ugh! Here we go with this bull!
I hate seeing that formation when the Lions are that CLOSE to the goal line. I know it’s a sure indication of how bad our running game can be at times. Though the empty back field means the defense really doesn’t have to fear the run threat, unless the team has a running QB.
Though Matthew seldom runs from the shotgun. You still have to keep the defense honest when you’re that close to goal line. The running back will make D guys hesitate, even if it's just for a split moment.
New England did a spread shotgun from inside our five on the very next possession. Though they kept Blount in the back field and he ran it right into the end zone, while our defense was spread out. We’ve lost to two very good teams, but it’s the way the offense looked during those loses is what makes people somewhat concerned.
