The Detroit Lions face a clear test. Can Dan Campbell hire the right offensive coordinator? The answer will not arrive when a name gets announced. It does not show up in a headline.
What We Will Learn NextThis moment is about learning. There are things the Lions must do for the first time. Or prove they can do for the first time correctly. That sits at the top of the list.
It sounds straightforward. It is not. Hiring the right voice to run the offense is the question that frames everything else. Proof will matter more than projection.
The Name Isn’t the ProofYou will not know the answer on announcement day. You did not know it last year when a name was announced. You did not know it when Anthony Lynn was announced.
You did not know it when play calling duties and the offensive coordinator position were segued to Ben Johnson. Nobody knew who Ben Johnson was. Nobody knew whether he could do the job. That uncertainty is the point.
Lessons From Lynn and JohnsonThose transitions underline the warning. Announcements cannot confirm whether the choice is right. The first day never settles the debate.
The Detroit Lions need results before anyone can call the hire a success. In the NFL, waiting for evidence beats guessing at the moment of a name reveal. The team must learn if this is the first time they get it correct at the start. Until then, patience is the only honest stance.
After the Name, Then the WorkEvaluation follows action. Titles do not carry the offense down the field. Roles have to click. Responsibilities have to fit. Only then does the picture sharpen.
Ben Johnson’s rise began without certainty. Anthony Lynn’s arrival did not come with guarantees. Those facts frame this search. The Detroit Lions must watch what happens after the handoff, not just who gets it. That is what we will learn next, and it is the only way to prove they can do this right for the first time.
