The NFL is a copycat league in many aspects.
Players copy styles. Coaches copy schemes and owners and front offices copy blueprints on how to build a staff and program.
So, in that regard, the Detroit Lions may offer an intriguing guide for Raiders’ owner Mark Davis and he tries to rebound from the disastrous Josh McDaniels-Dave Ziegler regime that he ended last month.
And it that’s the case, it may bode well for Raiders’ interim general manager Champ Kelly and interim head coach Antonio Pierce.
Pierce has vowed to be, and has shown in his short time at the helm of the Raiders, like Campbell, he is a former player who is a player’s coach.
