Rams OC Olson (1 Viewer)

[Bri]

Olson coached the Lions' quarterbacks the last two seasons, and the team had some of its best games when Olson called plays.

Said Linehan,"We're both Dennis Erickson-raised, as young coaches or players. I played for Dennis. (Olson) coached as a graduate assistant for Dennis at Washington State University. We were raised under the same system in college. Ran the same systems in college at different places."

Despite the connections, the two have never coached together, but have worked at the same camps and clinics. While Linehan will call plays, Olson will have significant responsibilities with the offense.

"(It) will be very extensive," Linehan said of Olson's role. "He will (have) input on the offense. He will be a big part of the entire evaluation of our offensive players in the offseason. He'll obviously be in charge of developing and grooming our quarterbacks. We will probably hire a quarterbacks coach who will work with him."

Olson did well with Lions QBs? He'll be OC but Linehan will call plays. He'll be in charge of QBs but they'll bring in a QB coach to work with him.

It seems you could rewrite that as "I'm indebted to Dennis Erickson and he asked for a favor so....."
