Ted Tollner, New Lions Offensive Coordinator

Nothing much to report here. Tollner is an football-lifer who is rapidly approaching 65 years old. He has been a coach with Mariucci in the past and has quite an impressive resume. That being said, his offense in San Francisco last season was putrid, which is awfully familiar to Lion’s fans, who also were party to an impotent offense. In San Francisco, their offense’s ineffectiveness may have been as attributable to poor personnel as it was to any sort of problem’s in their offensive scheme. I will admit, I was hoping that Mariucci would find a coach that he wasn’t so closely linked with to help revamp the offense.
