Campbell said the next coordinators could be internal candidates already on staff or candidates outside of the organization. He said he’ll be looking for the right fit in Detroit.
“I think we’ve got guys on staff that I think are more than qualified and would be outstanding in those roles, but that does not mean that I’m not looking outside either,” Campbell said.
“So, I want what I believe is going to be as close to what we have been as possible, and we don’t lose what we’re about and our identity. We’re going to stay true to who we are, and if you’re somebody that doesn’t feel comfortable with that, then no, I don’t – this isn’t the job for you.
“I’m not going to be in a hurry, I’m not in a mad dash. No matter what happens I want to do what’s right by our team and what I believe is going to – those guys will be able to stand in front of that room and command respect and get everybody going in the same direction and will, ultimately, deliver the same message that I’m delivering.”
In an effort to promote diversity and inclusion at the highest level, the NFL awards compensatory draft picks to teams that lose minority coaches to head-coaching opportunities with other teams. With Glenn being hired as the new head coach of the Jets, the Lions will receive a third-round compensatory pick in 2025 and 2026. Detroit currently doesn’t have a third-round pick in this year’s draft after trading it to the Jets last year to move up to select tackle Giovanni Manu.
