I think you're probably right but don't forget the hire of Steve Marinucci a while back. He had plenty of experience and some success. How did that work out?

Campbell had some experience as the interim coach for the Dolphins. Things were a total mess and he restored morale and team unity. Where he was lacking was in game management and clock management. He needs a bench coach to handle these things for him. He is a motivator.
They said the same about Patricia because he was Belichick's DC, and he was a disaster. I'm for giving anyone a chance, but these hirings are B.S. because no black or hispanic coaches or coordinators are given a shot at it. The "Rooney Rule" is a joke. Campbell or anyone else has his hands full turning this ragamuffin franchise around
It's official...
Dan Campbell is Head Coach of the Detroit Lions.
And the Bobby Layne Curse continues.
It's Matty Patty all over again.
Oh sigh!
Agreed. I don't know if any of you listen to Valenti, I know a lot of people get butt hurt by him but he makes valid points. The Lions job is a rebuild and just isn't seen as a desirable job, so we get all these people with no experience, just have to get lucky one of these days.
One positive note:
Appears the losing/loser coaching staff, including the interim HC from the former regime, were pink-slipped "only" after 3 consecutive years of finishing in last place [[big toilet flush).
Waiting to see if the same haircut applies to some of the toothless players. . . ...
Just when I thought former Lions coaches and executives come here to die, up pops Martin Mayhew as the new GM of the Washington Football Team.
