They actually list us as one of 3 teams on the move in the right direction.
Great news for Lions fans is that if we can go to .500, it really is a decent improvement
Agree. When healthy, the offense is pushing top 10 at times (although they struggled 4th Q against the Vikes … but that’s what happens when newb coaches try to run out the clock)
Defense seems to be lingering in the 28-30 range. Just nothing special anywhere on that D … especially coaching. So a 20ish ranking is about right. Maybe a touch higher if/when we get some difference makers playing again.
Schwartz took a 0-16 team to 2 Wins, then 6 Wins then 10 Wins/playoffs.
I see Campbell having a chance of going 3 wins, 7-8 wins then 10 or more wins/playoffs. (* with a extra game to get Ws) and pretty much match Schwartz.
If he doesn’t make the playoffs in year 3 he probably never will as a Lions HC
They didn’t really struggle, they went to Dan’s form of running out the clock. Witch didn’t include letting the clock run down. Just giving the ball back to the vikes until they won.
