Pretty ridiculous question if you ask me. He's safe.

He’s safe for now BUT

I do think the org is going to put pressure on him to find someone else in the draft other than Goff. I don’t think all of their issues are on him, but it’s clear that Goff isn’t someone who can elevate the players around him or rise above when things aren’t perfect and get wins. Eventually, you need a QB like that. That’s why McVay got rid of him in the first place for Stafford.

The Lions FO will eventually come to that realization as well. The only problem is that will probably come too late. St Brown’s cap number jumps from $8M to $27M next year. Goff’s goes from $18M to $55M. They still have to extend Gibbs and Branch. Their window is closing fast which I think puts more pressure on Campbell than most realize

Why in the world would his job be in jeopardy?

People forget Detroit life pre-Dan?

This is like asking a few years ago if the Browns should move on from Baker Mayfield. How’s that worked out?

Judging by Mike Tomlin, pretty safe


A guy who's never had a losing season, has coached only one game in 19 seasons where he was eliminated from the playoffs, and is with a team that hasn't fired a coach since the merger?

Probably not a metric for anyone else.

I'm sure he's safe for a while since they are so banged up.

But those 4th down risks are looking dumber and dumber the more they lose.

probably 2 seasons, but he should be on the hot seat for that fricking pathetic defense

it is garbage

They and BIlls are very similar, they have to out score you to win, their defense is shite.

Both lines of scrimmage need help.

Goff is fine. He just doesn't need to be getting lit up every other play.

If the running game isn't there, that's a big issue.

The lions would be dumb to cut him loose.

Hard to say. Paying two rbs top tier money isn't wise.

I don't know their situation, but I do know they were trash for a long time before Campbell found his groove.

Montgomery was a mistake and they need interior OLine help, Goff is not good when he has to move outside of the pocket and they get a lot of pressure through the middle at the moment, hence why they tried out their retired C.

Everyone saying he's coordinator dependent has paid much attention, he took over the play calling and their O improved. Every offensive HC is dependent on their DC and vice versa, but no doubt he makes a change at OC.

I suspect they have one more chance before moves need to be made, Jameson Williams needs to get his act together given the contract he got this offseason too
