What you may not know is that Orlovsky had an offer to become a coach for the Lions but he turned it down.
That's right, according to a report by Chris Burke of The Athletic, prior to the 2017 season, Orlovsky was offered a job from then Lions' head coach Jim Caldwell.
Orlovsky turned the job down, saying he needed a break.
Now Orlovsky's name has come up (by some) as a possible candidate to replace Jim Bob Cooter as the Lions' offensive coordinator though as of Thursday morning, he had not been contacted by Detroit.
The former Lions quarterback has been working as an analyst for ESPN and he has been doing an outstanding job, so is he ready to return to the NFL?
Well, according to Orlovsky, he may be ready to give coaching a chance, given the right opportunity.
"I wouldn't say no," he told The Athletic. "Do I see it happening tomorrow? I don't know. If I get a call from, like, New Mexico State to be their quarterbacks coach, then no. But if I get a call from somewhere (where I have) ties, know those people and can see what the future will be, then maybe.
Nation, what do you think, would you like to see Dan Orlovsky as the Lions next offensive coordinator?
