One of the best traits for a HC is to be authentic, he definitely is. Also if he has connections and can hire a killer staff that will go a long way in changing my view of him. Who would be your ideal coordinators for Campbell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenhater Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Just now, Louis Friend said: I agreed to a point. But IMO, there were no slam dunk, proven, sure fire HC candidates available. I'd rather take a chance on someone younger and "new" to the position than another retread. I would too. I guess for me that unproven also included a guy that had something else that included some special skill like a great Xs and Os or he developed a bunch of guys. i just don't see that with him. But he does seem like a leader and that is the most important. watch we went back and forth on this and they pick Marvin Lewis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like sometimes you need OC and DC that have schemes that compliment each other. Hopefully has a good working relationship with whoever it is. I'd really have to think on this. We could through out names but most of them have already been linked to other HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I wanted the Lions to try. It’s hard to run the team as a HC and call plays. I like the Steelers and Ravens approach where Tomlin and Harbaugh just concentrate on being a HC and leader. I’m pumped about the hire! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenhater Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 If Campbell is indeed the hire, am I the only one that is glad we hired a guy who is in shape? I know it's superficial but it's hard watch a guy who's going to teach and train elite athletes that gets winded taking the escalator to the facility.

It just makes me uneasy that this is how i've felt the past few hires outside of Schwartz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read Jon Kitna is a hot name for OC but they probably go the vet option. The DC the names I have read is Wafe Phillips or Aaron Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, Campbell has had 12 games at HC. Not quite a season or a lot but a lot more than 0 and a few more than just finishing off the last 3-4 in a lost year.

SimbaWho Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I'm actually going to give this the Simba/JRugges approval. Which is extremely hard to get at a GM/HC position. He's not a slam dunk hire by any means, but, if you were to hire an up an comer this is the type of dude you hire. My approval means as much as a token from chuckie cheeses. but, I'm normally a huge detractor of this organization and this hire actually seems reasonable even if it isn't the slam dunk we all want. Like everyone, everywhere, can buy into the reasoning of this hire and I like that. I think this is going to do pretty well honestly regardless of the coach. I'm actually optimistic as a Lions fan. First time in like 5 years. Edited January 16, 2021 by SimbaWho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time in like 5 years. Holy !*&$ The end is near!!!! j/k. I'm really on the fence on this one. It was not my preferred, but I'll try to support it. I do feel a little better about this hire than I did Quintricia and Marinelli. So there is that. The coordinators are going to make it or break it for me. If we land a staff of all 1st time play callers, I'm going to hate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
