[QUOTE="Pkrjones, post: 948269, member: 9982"] While I don't condone a coordinator "going rogue" the situation in Detroit in December of '20 wasn't good. Matt Patricia was fired as HC on 11/28/20 and Darrell Bevel was named interim HC. The 5-9 Lions travel to 9-5 Tennessee Titans and the Titans had just scored a TD with an 83 yard, 4:39 drive. With 12 minutes left in the 4th Quarter the Lions are down 32-18 at their own 31 with 4th & 4 yds to go. Coombs tried a bold move by faking the punt and got 3.9 yards when they needed 4 for the 1st down. Bevell fired him the next day. After going 5-11 Bevell was fired from Detroit, also. I wouldn't condone this from a coordinator, but I do agree with this writer that it was kind of a "screw it, let's make something happen" moment for Coombs.
