sagnam Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) As bad as Campbell has been as a OC and at public speaking Houston has a worse coach and is in a worse situation. Edited November 25, 2021 by sagnam Quote

Can anyone give an answer without using a caveat, qualifier, justification, or excuse? - Lost by 8 to 5-5 49ers with this roster - Did enough to beat 7-3 Ravens with this roster - Lost by 2 to 5-5 Vikings with this roster - Lost by 9 to 7-3 Rams with this roster - Tied 5-4-1 Steelers with this roster - Lost by 3 to 6-5 Browns with this roster Quote

Glad we were able to rebuild something here on this new site. Those two weeks were empty and sad. Thanks for letting me vent and joke around with you bums. Decker Sucks. Go get after that food. Quote

The answer to my question is nothing. Quote

I think the Texans have the same talent level and are in worse position as an organization. If the lions had competent coaches they would have 3 wins right now. Quote

I get it, I thought Holmes should have been given full autonomy to hire his guy, prior to Campbell coming in. I don't disagree that his clock and time management at times have head scratching. As has his play calling, deciding to run on 2nd or 3rd and long. That said, I think what Campbell and Lynn want to really do is hamstrung by how bad their roster is on offense. Campbell might turn out to be a disaster, but I'm not using this season to determine that. Quote
mtutiger Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) 0-9-1 seems to reflect the level of talent on this team. And yes Dan Campbell bears some responsibility for his part as well. I'm just suggesting that canning the coaching staff 11 games in isn't gonna change a damn thing about their situation. It's still a Godawful roster that will struggle to win any games.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Swift out for game means we're toast offensively. Quote
TP_Fan Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 3rd and 4 and Campbell calls a pass play 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage and it’s a 3 and out. Yeah, Campbell is awesome. Quote

Assume Holmes continues to draft well and Campbell continues to think it’s 1975, the internal strife will doom any potential success of this rebuild. The org chart is a real concern. Quote

It's not like no-one noted at the time that generally the best course is to bring in a GM first and let him hire his staff. Quote

I've spent my time saying his play calling sucks and suggesting that the Lions talent is so Godawful that it makes it hard to determine how much is coaching and how much is talent. I'm sorry that not everyone sees everything as black and white as you do. Quote

I'm sorry that not everyone sees everything as black and white as you do. Not being able to judge a coach’s ability based on lack of talent is a real cop out though. There have been plenty of situations this year that have shown how poorly Campbell understand situational football, that is all being ignored because of “lack of talent.” Quote

I really dont know. But firing him right now will not change a single thing about their situation. Quote

TP_Fan Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Another 3 and out for Campbell’s awesome play calling. Hodge, no idea where the ball is. Quote
TP_Fan Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 The team has progressively gotten worse this season. The more Campbell has his fingerprints on this team the worse they look at all 3 phases. Quote
