Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell isn't an "a**hole" anymore. The Lions reversed course Thursday, bringing veteran long snapper Don Muhlbach back into the organization as an assistant after cutting him on his birthday.
Muhlbach, 40, was the team's long snapper for 17 seasons before the team cut him in August. Upon realizing the team released Muhlbach on his birthday, Campbell called himself an "a**hole" for making the move.
It didn't take long for Campbell to realize Muhlbach deserved to remain with the organization. In his new role as a special assistant, Muhlbach will "support executive vice president and general manager Brad Holmes, president and CEO Rod Wood and head coach Dan Campbell with various projects across the team's football and business operations," the team said in a statement.
