Cardinals Interviewing Jim Bob Cooter For OC Job

Adam Schefter reports that the Cardinals are interviewing former Lions OC Jim Bob Cooter for their offensive coordinator job on Tuesday.

The Cardinals have also shown interest in John DeFilippo and Ben McAdoo, according to reports.

Cooter interviewed for the Browns’ offensive coordinator job before they hired Todd Monken.

Cooter, 34, began his NFL coaching career with the Colts back in 2009 as an offensive assistant. He had brief stints with the Chiefs and Broncos before the Lions hired him as their QBs coach in 2014.

Detroit promoted Cooter to offensive coordinator during the 2015 season and he’s remained in the role ever since.

In 2018, the Lions’ offense ranked No. 24 in total yards, No. 25 in points scored, No. 23 in rushing yards and No. 20 passing yards.
