Lions News: Lions dominate list of worst NFL coaching hires this century

With Dan Campbell, it may be tough to remember the days the Detroit Lions didn’t have it so good.

No worries, CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin did it for you as he names his top 25 worst NFL coaching hires this century. Perhaps unsurprisingly, three former Lions coaches made the list—more than any other team.

Coming in at No. 10: Rod Marinelli, who famously made history as the coach of the first team to go 0-16.

“Anytime you literally go winless, there’s plenty of blame to go around, and Detroit faithful surely pin much of it on former president and CEO Matt Millen, who oversaw the construction of the long-lowly Lions,” Benjamin writes.
