[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 948147, member: 7261"] Now....as long as they don't promote Drayton's assistant to his assistant and give her/him the job. I like 2 people for the job, so far. [B]Matt Smiley[/B]: This is probably the guy they should have hired last year. He has been an assistant special teams coach with the Jags and Bills for 9 years and both teams have had good special teams during that time. My only question on him, why hasn't he been promoted all this time? [B]Brayden Coombs: [/B]I like this guys potential. He is only 35 and started as a coaching assistant with the Bengals in 2010! He quickly worked his way up to special teams assistant and then the Lions hired him in 2020 as their special teams coordinator. He was doing really well, as was the Lions Special teams unit. Then he went rogue and called for a fake punt without running it by anyone else. The Lions were down by 14 with 12 minutes to go, I probably would have loved the call, despite it coming up a yard short. He was fired the next day. Leave it to the Lions to fire their one good coach. The only thing that concerns me with him. Did he learn his lesson? Is he ready to coach within the system? Sounds like he might be a bit self centered and that fake punt thing, was the straw that broke the camels back. He didn't coach in 2021. [ATTACH type="full" alt="mH0Dcfw.png"]18004[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
