Last month we spent an episode of the Pride Of Detroit PODcast to evaluate the first year of Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes, and offered our thoughts and grades. This week, it’s time to shift our eyes to the head coach, Dan Campbell.
Campbell started with an impressive press conference, but his style was already from that moment divisive to fans and commentariat—either he was a breath of fresh air or a knucklehead. Regardless, it was a dark horse candidate hire, and all things flowed out from that. From there, questions arose early in the season about the offense, play-calling efficiency and things of that nature.
