Lions mailbag: Assessing slow coaching starts, Goff's role and future cap space

Welcome to another edition of our weekly Detroit Lions mailbag. Let's see what's on your mind.

u25b6 Question: Historically, are there any coaches who have started .250 or worse in their first 1.5 seasons that ended up turning it around and having successful careers with that team? — @Danieljhall6

u25b6 Answer: How about Tom Landry? He went 4-20-2 his first two seasons in Dallas and didn't have a winning season until his seventh — not that Dan Campbell would or should ever be afforded that kind of leniency.

Some others of note:

Chuck Knoll began his time in Pittsburgh with a 4-13 record.
