The Lions have confirmed the hiring of former University of Michigan quarterback coach Scot Loeffler to fill the same position in Detroit. Loeffler, who was also linked to job openings with UCLA, Alabama and Tennessee, will work closely with new offensive coordinator Jim Colletto and passing coordinator Kippy Brown.
One of Loeffler's first duties will be developing an off-season program for Drew Stanton, last year's second-round draft pick. Stanton had all of his mechanics, from his grip on the football to his footwork, changed by former offensive coordinator Mike Martz. It will be interesting to see if Loeffler continues with Martz's plan or develops a different approach with Stanton.
