Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is taking some heat as Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears advance in the NFL Playoffs.

Detroit head coach Dan Campbell said sorting out his coaching staff is the first offseason objective for he and the Lions.

Running backs, linebackers get highest marks in Detroit Lions 9-8 season. I don’t think Dan Campbell is deserving of the “fricking F” he gave himself.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions will hire Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator.

In his end-of-season press conference Monday, Campbell spoke openly about the bitter taste of falling short. The Lions missed the postseason at 9-8 after winning two playoff games in 2023 and going 15-2 a year ago. "Not good enough. We didn't get in. We underachieved," Campbell said. "So, not good. I'd give myself a freaking F."

After consecutive playoff appearances, including the NFC title game in 2024, the Lions suffered through a miserable season when they lost both coordinators, who were signed as head coaches. The team also dealt with a laundry list of injuries to key players.

The Detroit Lions may have missed the NFL playoffs, but there will be a “Dan Campbell” competing in a popular sporting event on Super Bowl Sunday.
