Dan Campbell, Detroit. Campbell brings big energy to the Lions and is well liked, but he has a 5-19-1 record (.220) that is worse than the .314 winning percentage that got his predecessor Matt Patricia fired before the end of his third season. Few coaches have had any success for Detroit with Jim Caldwell the only non-interim coach in the past half-century to have a winning record with the Lions. Detroit fired him after three winning seasons in four years following the 2017 season and has gone 19-52-2 since then.
You have a coach that started his career taking the Colts to the superbowl. And back to back playoff appearances. Only to have Peyton break his neck and to lose his job because a team centered on Manning, failed when it didn't have Manning. Then he goes to the Ravens, turns there offense around and helps them win a Superbowl with joe freaking Flacco of all QB's. The he comes to Detroit and takes that sad sack of a franchise and turns into a playoff team that if not for a pickup of what should have been a PI penalty (ya'll know it) they would have probably beat dallas in dallas, and who knows what happens after. Instead they let him go and replace him with two "tough guys" who have failed to even post a season with more then 6 wins since they fired him. And for the last 5 years he can't get a second chance? But Random Center's who never coached anything more then a highschool football team one random year can become a head coach?
Am I missing something here?
