Donnie Druin covers the Arizona Cardinals for Cardinals On SI. He answered five questions about what the Detroit Lions are getting in new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing.

Those fantasy football dreams of Detroit's weapons in a Mike McDaniel offense proved to be just wishful thinking.

New Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing has previously worked with Detroit run game coordinator Hank Fraley.

At 38, Petzing will take over playcalling for one of the NFL’s top offenses. The Lions recently let go of John Morton after just one season as offensive coordinator. Petzing’s hiring is a surprise, as his name was not among the reported candidates, who included Mike McDaniel, Jake Peetz, Tee Martin, Zac Robinson, and Arthur Smith.

Drew Petzing spent the past three seasons calling plays for the Arizona Cardinals, and now takes over the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator job.

The Detroit Lions are in the midst of an offensive coordinator search. Here's a look at the search's timeline so far.

Mike McDaniel and Arthur Smith, 2 of the Detroit Lions' top offensive coordinator candidates, have previous experience running teams.

Earlier this week, former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton was spotted in Denver working with a Broncos team that was preparing to face the Buffalo Bills. On Saturday morning, ESPN reported that Morton, who spent o ne season in Motown before being dismissed, was hired as a consultant by Sean Payton for the remainder of the playoffs.
