I think you want a guy who will still run a Coryell offense, but with coaches that actually pay attention to fundamentals. Detroit has terrible fundamentals and discipline.

Bill O'Brien would be a perfect hire, IMO.

He favors more of a pro-set, play action heavy downfield passing attack. Off the board, maybe take a look at David Shaw.

Stafford's an old-school, Drew Bledsoe type of immobile, rocket armed pocket passer. I'm not sure he has the accuracy/timing/intelligence for a Coryell offense. But if you set him up in a system that relies on basic pro-sets and power running that opens passing lanes downfield, he could be damn dangerous.

I just don't think he's a smart enough QB for Ehardt Perkins, Coryell, WCO or any of the more complicated offensive schemes.
