Fox goes- Jerry hires from within.Meeks or Davidson?

Depends on how they are in person. Depending on Davidson's personality and ability he would be the most likely candidate IMO. However, like I said, this is assuming he has a hospitable personality and some traits needed as a HC.

Skipper would be my vote. The guy has developed Williams and Stewart into premier backs at the same time.

And compare DeAngelo to Reggie Bush. Bush has been a bust, while DeAngelo is performing hard.

Now, can he run a full offense and defense? Well, that's hard to say... but he has a history of success behind him.

I think one thing's for sure - we aren't going after a big name coach if Fox leaves. Richardson is a prominent player in the labor negotiations and surely he knows how likely a lockout looks. So all of you that want Cowher or any other big name that wants $8 mil+ and control over the entire football operations, you might as well accept that it's not happening. If Fox leaves, it's either going to be an internal hire or an up-and-coming coordinator (personally I wouldn't mind Leslie Frazier or Russ Grimm).

Davidson or Skipper. It wouldn't be fair to the other coaches to promote Meeks so fast.

"fair"???????

it's that type of loyalty to delhomme that ruined our season to begin with.

SCREW FAIR!

do what is best for the team and gives us the best opportunity to win games.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
