Overview
- Goff said he has studied Petzing’s offense, spoken with him, and heard “glowing” reviews from quarterbacks who played for him, including Jacoby Brissett.
- Petzing coordinated Arizona’s offense the past three seasons, featuring a strong rushing identity early before a more pass‑heavy 2025 in response to injuries.
- Detroit’s 2025 offense slipped in consistency as Dan Campbell assumed midseason play-calling and John Morton was fired after the year despite top‑five scoring output.
- Goff emphasized Petzing’s versatility, citing plans to marry the run and pass, refine terminology and process, and distribute touches efficiently to Detroit’s many playmakers.
- Local reporting indicates Petzing is expected to handle play‑calling in 2026, with deeper installation set for the offseason program.
