Campbell shouldn’t have been fired in 2024. I have argued he should have been gone at the end of last season. Some of those losses were squarely on him. If they go say 5-12 this season he has to go.
Ben Johnson took a head coaching job, a promotion. There’s only 32 of those around and I don’t blame him one bit for pursuing it.
Not to mention, he was offered a head coaching job a year prior and TURNED IT DOWN because he wanted to help the Lions reach the Super Bowl, which unfortunately, didn't happen.
I am grateful for the time he spent here. Ditto Aaron Glenn.

I'd like to know what Campbell did or said that you'd refer to him as a "clown".
I'll begin the list, although I will say referring to him as a "clown" is excessively harsh. Let's start with the decisions to keep the offense on the field on risky 4th downs when the Lions were in FG range and 3 points would've been tremendously helpful. Gee, a certain playoff game in San Francisco comes to mind.
The "clown" descriptor is much more aptly applied to Matt Patricia than to Dan Campbell.

I've previously addressed the "4th downs", that the players themselves, when asked about it, are all for it. I made the contention that the players would run through a wall for this coach and the value of that in itself should not be understated. It's been part of the dramatic culture shift of this team. That it happened unsuccessfully in the most important game in memory shouldn't preclude that.
