Wait Ownership hired Dan Campbell? I didn't know that. Link?

Yeah they hired the GM and coach separately. Doubt Campbell would be a Holmes guy. Pretty sure Speilman old school ass is why we’re stuck with Campbell. Hiring Robert Saleh made so much sense. Actual coordinator with Michigan ties

Campbell and new Lions GM Brad Holmes have never worked with each other before, but share a common connection through Williams.

Their union in Detroit is an arraigned marriage, as the organization held parallel coach and GM searches. Holmes was hired last Thursday, after the Lions finished their first round of coaching interviews.

Detroit Lions hire Dan Campbell as head coach. Here's what he faces

Dan Campbell joins dikk Jauron and Joe Schmidt as the only former Detroit Lions players to coach the team in the Super Bowl era

And he got a 6 year contract

So disappointing man..

I would never wish injury on stafford but the rams imploding this year would make that trade a win for both sides. They got their Super Bowl and lions got a top 10ish pick

Only lions can go from know-it-all jackass coach in Patricia to a likable idiot in Campbell. He simply isn’t smart enough to be an NFL coach. This former player coaching staff isn’t prepared at all. Getting schooled by these wizkid new age coordinators.

Question, if we end up getting the 1st pick again, do you draft a QB first then defensive afterwards or get the best defensive player out the draft? or like I said QB first, and then just focus on defensive player the rest of draft?

If the Lions don't wind up with the top pick themselves, they're gonna have a chance to package that Rams pick and another future first to trade up and take a QB.

That's tough because the question becomes do you want Bryce Young/CJ Stroud or Will Anderson. I think Will Anderson will be the best player in the draft, and the idea of pairing him with Hutch/Paschal/Alim is scary enticing. Guess you gotta ask do you trust a win now window with Jared Goff, vs a 5 year window with a rookie deal QB (if you hit on the selection).

I can't answer right now. I lean towards Will Anderson right now since the offense is good...but let's see how things go.

If we get first pick that more than likely means Goff comes back down to earth. He’s a solid a QB when everything is perfect around him. Someone making 30 million a year should not need so much help to be effective. Can’t pass on Shroud or Young honestly. QB on rookie deal is so valuable. If they get top 3 pick just go hard on defense in FA and pick the QB. Go defense with Rams pick

Even though I’m skeptical of OSU QBs my gut tells me Shroud going to be star in NFL. No glaring weaknesses in his game. Id worry about Youngs size and durability

Man we need defense. Goff is good. At the end I don't think we'll be drafting in the top 5. Maybe closer to 10

Hou, Car, WSH, CHI, PIT competing for top spot with det. Hou and Chi probably playing better football than lions right now. This was the softest part of Lions schedule and their 1-4. Cowboys, Dollhins, Packers after bye. Looking at 1-7. They will quit on Campbell if he keeps this up

All the pressure is off and they have a last place schedule. So of course in true lions fashion they gonna string together a few more wins to put them outside of the top qbs. And the Teams above them will need a qb too.

I know all the talk Is bryce and Stroud but old boy hooker down in Tennessee looks nice too.
