The Detroit Lions saw their season end in the NFC divisional round over the weekend. Even though the team did not win the Super Bowl, they had an incredible regular season, finished with the best conference record, and won a team-record 15 games.
Detroit had the second best offense in football under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and the seventh best scoring defense in the league under defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn . Considering the team’s success the last two years, it’s no surprise that both of those guys are top coaching candidates.
Despite losing to the greatest rookie in NFL history, head coach Dan Campbell is willing to lose both of them because it won’t change that.
While he hasn’t been told anything, he’s still prepared for the bad news which is why he’s already thinking about replacements. According to Campbell there are coaches on staff capable of filling the potential vaccancies, but he’s also going to look outside the team for the perfect fit.
“I want what I believe is going to be as close to what we have been as possible,” said Campbell. “And we don’t lose what we’re about. And our identity.” Campbell then added, “We’re going to stay true to who we are and if you don’t feel comfortable with that, this isn’t the job for you.”
