Detroit Lions hire Dan Campbell as head coach, but why didn't anyone else want him?

Free Press sports writer Carlos Monarrez answers three questions about the hiring of Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell on Wednesday.

What do you like about Campbell’s hiring?

Like is a strong word. But let’s just say I appreciate the potential he has to build bridges and unite the locker room as well as the entire organization, along with general manager Brad Holmes. Unity, communication and collaboration are big themes being touted by owner Sheila Ford Hamp and president Rod Wood. This would be the opposite of what the Lions had under the top-down structure of the Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia regime.
