Candidly if 9-8 happens in 2026, the Holmes/MCDC era may be on life support if the Bills, Ravens, Steelers can all move on from their HCs with the sustained success each had.
The only thing I can think of is Jared Goff is a much more serious QB than Kyler Murray so maybe he didn’t get a fare shot in AZ
Have to think about firing him after this season if it’s another disaster
No fucking way this is real. Holy shit we’re a dumpster fire again
What the fuck man this is stupid
Are we offering people shit money?
Is Holmes spitting on these guys during the interview?
The talent on the offence is so good
Why are we getting the shitty hires?
Holmes ego is insane and was pissed Dan decided to interview Mike McDaniel. So he went with this bum
Just when I thought we might be back we hire Uncle Fester.
Ben Johnson was with the organization before DC/Holmes.
So externally, we’ve brought in Anthony Lynn, John Morton, and now Drew Petzing…… hopefully they see something no one else does, at the end of the day we’re just fans. Idk. I can’t think of any other cope
Maybe Dan has an over inflated ego? That’s why he hires inferior coaches. Ben Johnson outshined him and carried the team. Now he’s gone.
Jamo punching air right now
If we wanted to go 9-8 every year we could have just kept Caldwell.
Stop wasting your time with this team they are cheap and expensive with prices..
There’s no Superbowl Window
Never Was.
Man the 2022-2026 Lions really gonna go down like the 2014 era Tigers. All this talent and nothing to show for it 😭
And just like that, the fanbase is losing confidence in Campbell. What a fuckin bummer man
High risk/ low reward.
Brad and Dan’s seats have to be super hot at this point if Sheila is serious about winning g. You hit the NFCCG in 2023, get bounced in your first game the next year, and now miss the playoffs. If the Bills, Ravens, and Steelers maintain their success while a team like Atlanta takes a step forward and Detroit doesn’t get back to the playoffs, heads should be chopped. You can’t have Dan hiring more than four OCs with nothing to show for it.
My only hope is that he looks bad cuz he was on a team that was unlucky and injured.
If we get another John Morton then we need to look at Dan and Brad because, while I’m no hater, it make no sense to not get good coordinators when we’re now a good team and a desirable location.
I believe this is an absolutely atrocious hire. With that said, I also thought MCDC was a terrible (typical Lions) hire and I threw the remote at the wall when we drafted Jahmyr Gibbs in the first round so WTF do I know.
Why were they in a rush to get this guy? Like the playoffs aren’t even over yet
Why? I dont trust MCDC, I trust Brad Holmes
Can we at least see how this goes before we say people should be fired for this?
Damn another year of no jamo targets.
How do this even happen
This fanbase is so dumb they laughed at the Gibbs pick so I’m not the least bit convinced that this is a bad hire. lol
who da hell mr clean
Really thought they would get Todd Monken
They haven’t been better than 21st since taking over but who the fuck hires a guy no one wants. No one absolutely no one Detroit looking like it’s got to do something stupid to make the fanbase more pissed off. Oh let’s hire this guy that’s only been an oc 3 years and never been higher than 21st in total offense on historically bad bottom 12 teams. Guess we want to go back to the 2000’s
Why do people think this person will be a dogshit OC?
Times like these remind me that reddit is full of moody teens.
These guys are fucking stupid… I love the Lions, but they never ever let you down in the “Doing Dumb Shit” department. Does Drew Petzing have some sort of terminal disease? Maybe Dan hired him through some kind of Make A Wish program.
He got a top ten offense out of Jacoby Brisset.
I’ll set my expectations low this year
Remember when people thought Matt Patrica was a home run? Point is we don’t know…
Just hearing that this guy is BFFs with Ben Johnson. They were grad assistants at BC together and he was in Ben Johnson’s wedding
All I know is that if they don’t significantly improve next year Sheila Ford better clear fucking house. Loyalty is only worth anything when the people you’re loyal to perform.

Scoob, this hiring seems familiarly underwhelming
