Dan Campbell

He is currently the front runner for the Lions.

If Miami would've hired him during his time as interim, do you think he'd have success?

I personally liked him a lot but I think he needed time with the Saints and Sean. The Lions have a good hire imo but it can be another Jets and Todd Bowles.

I really liked him, but I think he would’ve struggled here with the situation he would’ve been stuck with. I think he will find success in Detroit

Dan was not ready to be a HC then. Hopefully he has learned a lot from Sean over the years.

He was a great rah rah guy then but that would have worn thin eventually.

Always remember his first two games as a coach. That 41 point first half against the Texans was something else.

He wasn't ready to be head coach. Saints seemed like the perfect spot for him to go and gain experience as assistant head coach with Payton

I'd like to see him be a head coach but not the Lions. Just seems like a terrible spot for any head coach

The Lions organization does suck but they have a decent roster. They will probably draft a Stafford replacement. They have a good offense if they retain their WR. Swift seems to be the real deal.
They are in a tough division.

I think Campbell played with the Lions? May play a part in him wanting to turn them around

I think he could have been another Mike Vrabel-type

Remains to be seen what happens. Detroit is where coaching careers go to die, so it may not be all his fault if he fails. But he wasn’t impressive here either. Sure, he got the interim bounce— and Philbin was awful and had lost the team— so he looked better than he was. I don’t think he was the answer long-term.

That said, they ended up replacing him with Gase so it’s not like it would have been disastrous had he stayed.

I will officially make the Lions my NFC team is they hire Dantellica.

 

[BennySwella]

I would have rather seen what Dan Campbell had as a coach than hire Adam Gase.

Yes maybe now with some x's and o's experience.

 

[FanEnSpain]

Dan Campbell for our OC?

Possibly even a Bill Cowher....if he has really smart coordinators.

Lions are crazy! Dan is not HC material

I liked him back then. Those first two games were great but they fizzled out quickly after. Detroit is definitely coaching hell so if does go there best of luck.
