Johnson and Glenn might both get HC jobs this cycle. Idk, I think there are a lot of ways to be a good HC. I don't think Campbell is some football savant, but he clearly has an identity he wants to establish and he sticks to it. And I think he knows how to connect with his players and his staff and knows how to delegate effectively and here we are.

Yeah, head coaching involves way more than just calling plays.mcmagic posted:he did pick him? or did the GM? if he did it's definitely a good hire that he should get credit for. Holmes and Campbell work closely together, I'm sure it was a joint effort. When Campbell was assembling his coaching staff a couple years ago, it was noticeable how many of them were former players, and I'd chalk a lot of that up to Campbell's time as a player in the league.

Two teams had 20+ year playoff win droughts One team hired a nerd with a fancy offense and had players go through the motions for the entire final month of the season, culminating in an embarrassing loss One team hired a meathead who only cared about team chemistry and broke their team and city's curse My belief is that in the long run neither will win a title at their jobs and both will get fired after a half dozen mediocre years, but you absolutely need to fix the culture first at some of these jobs in dead end cities

I shouldn't call him a bad coach. He deserves more credit than that and the results are very good. LOL Patricia originally hired Campbell.

Not quite a meathead in the same physical stature as Campbell but Sirianni is a vibes guy too. Hoping it doesn't fall apart for Campbell after his superstar coordinators depart

Campbell is probably like the best version of Saleh we could hope for if he didn't have the worst GM in the NFL and the worst staff in the NFL.

When he fired Anthony Lynn mid season Campbell took over the offense and play calling and they dramatically improved. I don’t know if he’s a savant but he at least know enough about that side of the ball to be hands on and he knows what good looks like, which seems to out him a notch above Sirriani.

When Campbell lost faith in Anthony Lynn and took over play-calling duties, it was Johnson who worked heavily with Campbell to implement new wrinkles and improve the offense." Worth noting that he also held onto the O-line coach, Hank Fraley, after LT Taylor Decker personally vouched for him — a move that likely contributed to Detroit's offensive line becoming one of the best in the league. Personally, I think Dan is a fantastic coach. A lot of people just see the meathead persona, but by all reports he's legitimately a very smart, empathetic, and unselfish guy. He's everything you could possibly want in a coach, and the Lions are lucky that he wanted to be here.

I mean how many people discuss all season long for multiple years that their coach should fire an obviously lame duck OC or DC? MCDC actually acted on it quickly which is all you need to know regarding at minimum his dedication to the job and willingness to learn and adjust. Dont think you can ask more from most HCs

It seems like Campbell is a rare HC who is aware of what he doesn't know and doesn't have an out of control ego that makes him ignore it.

Anyone who still thinks Campbell is a clueless meathead caught the biting kneecaps soundbite and never checked back in. He and this staff might end up being a flash in the pan but god drat, you can see the flash from space. You couldn't design a better Lions coach in a lab

Well, hopefully he's gotten more experience?" Several posted South Park muscle coach. Only a few panned the idea. Ironically, the first negative reaction without qualifiers was the creator of this very thread each year, Benne! I say this jape with love OP.
