Sources: Linehan to run Lions' offense

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESPN.com news services

Scott Linehan, the former St. Louis Rams coach who turned down the San Francisco 49ers' offer to become their offensive coordinator, has agreed to join the Lions in that position, team sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen on Friday.

Linehan declined the 49ers' offer Sunday, saying he wasn't ready to commit to his next coaching move.

Linehan, a respected former offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings, was fired four games into his third season as the Rams' coach last September.

New Lions coach Jim Schwartz hired veteran assistant Gunther Cunningham as defensive coordinator Wednesday.

So

[rambleonthruthefog]

nobody wanted this guy!

[StcChief]

Gun, Linehan.... NFC-N foes are all laughing.

[Brock]

That's a coaching staff for the ages.

[talastan]

No one in their right sane mind would want Linehan!! :spock:

Failed POST!!

[Donger]

"Damnit Scott" doesn't work. Perhaps "Dread Scott"?

[The Franchise]

Gun, Linehan.... NFC-N foes are all laughing.

This.

[jwazzie]

I'm laughing and I could care less about the NFC North

[007]

Is the OP seriously upset about this? WTF?

[FloridaMan88]

Mike Martz and Al Saunders are both still available

[HemiEd]

I wonder how long this staff will make it? ROFLROFL

[DeezNutz]

I knew all along that Schwartz was going to have great success as a HC.

[doomy3]

Who gives a shit?

[CoMoChief]

Linehan going the same route as Martz I see.

This time in a couple seasons I expect him to be running the offense for Singletary's Niners LOL

[CoMoChief]

Mike Martz and Al Saunders are both still available

Carls gone, I wouldnt mind having AS back, I'm sure TonyG and LJ wouldnt mind neither.

Linehan declined the 49ers' offer Sunday, saying he wasn't ready to commit to his next coaching move.

Yeah because the Lions job is better than the Niners....right Gunther?

[Frazod]

Good luck to Linehan.

Regardless of whether or not his offense puts points on the board, Gun's failure will undoubtedly be his fault.

[teedubya]

Son of a bitch, Scott!!

[MahiMike]

If it makes us feel any better, the Lions are showing exactly how NOT to do things once again. Their fast actions have netted them a new GM, new HC, new DC and now new OC.

In the same time span we've gotten a new GM and dropped some dead wood to the aforementioned team above.

Patience is a virtue.

[FD]

The lions are hilarious.

[RedThat]

Thats a good hire for the Lions. He is a good OC.

[R&GHomer]

WOW! I don't think the Lions even deserve to be called an NFL franchise.

[okcchief]

Good thing we didn't hire Schwartz.

That staff sucks balls!

[unothadeal]

Can't believe I wanted this guy as our HC (Schwartz)

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

When I heard one poster try to tie in "May the Schwartz be with you", that's all I needed to know.

Ugh.
