The correct answer is Doug Pederson.

Link? Because I don't believe that at all with the situation he walked into.

The lions are not respectable yet. They have a lot of preseason hype this year. We’ll see if it actually happens.

DA took over a team with a crappy cap situation, no QB, and mismanaged resources but yall expected him to have a 11 win season? Come on now, I don't believe any coach would win with that team from last year. This year is a true test of his abilities. He has a better roster and maybe we are starting to recover from the cap situation. I'm reserving my judgment based off this year.

He started 1 and 6 after going 3-13. It was being talked about. Had it continued then there is a pretty good possibility he would have been fired. HC don’t get a lot of time to turn things around anymore. If you don’t see some encouraging results they typically get canned after 2 years.

Campbell won 4 of his first 24 games in Detroit. They found their grove once they got into their shitty division schedule last season. 3 of the their 9 wins were against teams with winning records.

They’ll be expecting playoffs here in year 3

Sean Payton hung around here way too long

And he made Drew hang around too long

Letting KC jump you to pick Mahommes is one of the greatest whiffs in NFL draft history

It is subjective. Based on where they came from yeah I think they are respectable.
