The Detroit Lions have made their big offseason hire. They moved on from John Morton as the offensive playcaller after one season, trying to replace Ben Johnson. Now, Dam Campbell has his new guy on offense. The Lions have hired Drew Petzing as the offensive coordinator, fresh off a stint in the same role with the Arizona Cardinals.

“The Lions are hiring former Cardinals OC Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator, per me and Tom Pelissero,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported. “An extensive search leads Dan Campbell to an experienced play-caller for his offense.”
The Lions missed the playoffs in their first year without Johnson calling the plays, while he led the Chicago Bears to the Divisional Round. Now, Petzing comes in to work alongside Jared Goff and an all-star cast of weapons.
