Unpopular coaching opinion

@undermysac

 I actually don't think he leaves now. I think there will be a lot of GM's who saw that and have major questions about his ability to manage a game as a HC. He already has known issues getting in front of a team and speaking, motivating. Now you see that performance and whats the urge to hire the guy? 

I'm fine if he comes back because I agree with you. That's an extremely costly learning experience last night, and hopefully he sees that. What I was saying is I am 100% if someone offers him a HC job and he leaves. I don't get the hype as a head coaching candidate. 

And yes agree with your next point too. They'll be back. The core is young. They will get healthy on D and almost certainly won't have this level of injury decimation in back to back years. Brad Holmes is a star in the draft and can add a piece or 2 to the defense next year. Maybe a Jack Sawyer to line up opposite Hutch? Would be the highest motor pass rush in the league lol. 

One thing I learned watching Michigan under Harbaugh is how enormous it is to have quality coordinators. Once they dipped into the Ravens system and got away from Dr. Blitz and his garbage it was a game changer. Those two guys are now a HC and DC in the league. Someone above mentioned Campbells decision making & it's true. He's still learning as a HC & he can't be micromanaging his coordinators. He needs to be 100% focused on game management.. and probably not miss a 12 guys in the field situation on 4th and 3 on the biggest play of the entire season to that point. 

Just a disappointing L anyway you slice it up.

Once Hutch was knocked out for the year, Detroit was doomed...

As for the play calling, it's what the Lions are; they play checkers not chess.  Quick and fast, makes for great Monday morning fodder on the pod cast circuit and maybe that's the point.  The Lions are in the news; good bad or ugly.  In a way, they became an important franchise over the past 3-4 years.  Imagine saying that 10 years ago...

Hindsight is what it is.

Live by the sword, die by it.

Coaches are dumber than ever.

Low IQs have become the prerequisite to getting hired in this league.

Just tell your QB not to fumble at the 10 yard line 

could have been 14-3 ….

That’s kind of the entire point I’m making here. It’s the inability to adapt and take the easy road. There’s no reason the ball is in Goffs hands when you’re averaging 10+ per carry and the Washington D is reeling. Could have gone up 14-3 and would have made it really difficult for Washington to come back with how effective the run is/was. 

is what it is just saying… crazy incompetence 

The Lions in the red zone, 3rd and one, QB fumbles on pass play. *SMH Run it on 3rd and 4th if first down not made.

Spot on.  I was yelling at the TV all night to just run the dang ball.  So frustrating when coaches do this... same thing happened with Ravens in the playoffs last year.
