Real dream job

Company...

Lions announced they have hired former Miami HC Al Golden as their tight ends coach.

Football research and special projects like how to inflate or deflate a football. that is indeed a special project.

His MD contract likely has a clause that lets MD out of paying him if he takes a "Coaching" job elsewhere. Randy gets to network and work for an NFL team and collect two checks.

HCRE gets additional job description - clock management guru.




Jim Caldwell has hired a coach to help the Lions with clock management

 

[Waquoit]

Staying in Detroit, isn't this like having Andre Drummond as your free throw coach?

 

[HuskyV]

I do not recall too many comebacks. Randy will emphasize getting a 10 point lead & keeping the ball on the ground.

I expect that Randy can handle the responsibility. The real difference maker would have been to have Megatron on the field. No coaching genius can make up that loss.
