Maybe they will recommend whomever they hire as Head Coach to interview Lofton as OC.

Sign Lofton as a WR coach. Contact him for the HC position, but then sign him as a WR coach.

Re: James Lofton to Interview, Per WIVB

Why would he want to take a lateral position to a team which gives him less exposure?

Sign Lofton as a WR coach. Contact him for the HC position, but then sign him as a WR coach.

He's signed to the Chargers. Not eligible for a lateral move. He can be promoted to an OC position tho.

It was just on the news...they have yet to receive permission to talk to Lofton. Not a knock against Lofton but it tells me RW is trying to do it on the cheap if he is serious about Lofton.
