From Rotoworld:
Lions fired offensive coordinator Mike Martz and hired line coach Jim Cotello as offensive coordinator. Receivers coach Kippy Brown will be named assistant head coach/offense and passing game coordinator.
This is clearly a move from the Lions away from Martz's bombs-away offense and back to a scaled down approach. That could hurt the raw numbers of the Lions wideouts and jeopardize Jon Kitna's future in Detroit, especially as a fantasy threat. Martz has already been linked to the offensive coordinator job in San Francisco.
