ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Xs and Os of football comes easy to first-year Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell, but as a former player, he can wear his heart on his sleeves at times.
One of those moments was Tuesday, when he had to deliver the difficult news that the Lions were releasing veteran long snapper Don Muhlbach on his 40th birthday.
Campbell has heard the criticism following the transaction, but also learned that it comes along with the job as head coach, despite trying to keep a light-hearted approach -- notably while dealing with the media.
