Detroit Lions’ coach is already facing a slight hiccup even before the season began. Dan Campbell is a well-known coach with a great reputation. The Lions have parted ways with defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn after the New York Jets hired him as head coach.

Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson also parted ways after becoming the head coach of the Chicago Bears. In Glenn and Johnson’s absence, Campbell will face a lot of pressure as he enters this season.

Despite the hurdles, Dan Campbell handled everything patiently and did what he had to do. Recently, Detroit’s GM Brad Holmes talked about how Campbell worked things out and rebuilt his coaching staff.

“First of all, I give Dan so much credit just for it. You kind of had an idea that Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn were going to be gone, but I don’t think we’re prepared for all of the guys that got poached,” Holmes said.

“And I give Dan so much credit for just staying patient and not just trying to chase and fill and feeling under the gun and under pressure. He stayed patient, and he was so much on about ‘fit, fit, fit,’ and he ended up doing a really nice job, and we got some really good coaches,” Holmes continued.

It’s been a challenging ride for Campbell since Glenn and Johnson were not the only two to part ways with the team. Six assistant coaches said goodbye to the Detroit Lions, and they hired John Morton and promoted Kelvin Sheppard.

Dan Campbell Opens Up On Wide Receiver Jameson Williams’ Strong Potential

Dan Campbell is ready to take on the upcoming season despite several challenges thrown his way. Campbell is focusing on sending his team to the playoffs and he believes that players like Jameson Williams will help him get there.

Campbell shed light on Williams’ strong potential by saying the sky is the limit for him.

“There are so many things we can do just with his routes, on the outside, and things he can do inside. With his speed and — he’s gotten so much stronger. His ability to stop, put his foot in the ground. When you can run like he can run and now you’re getting to where you can stop on a dime; you talk about a hard cover,” Dan Campbell said.

The Lions will face challenges after parting ways with some of their key coaches. However, they are confident in Campbell as he gears up for a strong season.
