Maybe he doesn’t interview well but I’m sure a lot of white coaches interview like shyt too. Like, have you seen a Matt Patricia press conference?? Dude can’t communicate for shyt and got a few years to prove he wasn’t awful even though he was
Exactly. At the end of the day a lot of these GMs and owners wanna hire guys who look the part in their minds and EB isn’t that guy.im sure he was a horrible interviewer but remember the guy hiring him was a close friend bob quinn
their interview was probably just laughing at jokes
Patricia wasn’t a meathead. He’s a wannabe genius, smartest guy in the room a$$hole. Belittled players and cursed them out. From what I’m reading it sounds like Campbell is a leader of men type who isn’t smart and doesn’t pretend to be lol.Cot damnI know the Lions locker room thinking they went from one meathead to another
Adam gase got two gigs. And you cant tell me that bum interviews well. His players dont even like him

I get it though.Don't even bother, I remember fighting with Lions fans who were "fed up" with Caldwell and his winning seasons. I'll never understand fans of bad, useless franchises having these ridiculous standards. Getting rid of Caldwell in haste set your franchise back several years...haven't even sniffed the playoffs since.![]()
Excellent breakdown. Largely what I take from that is that EB is a great teacher. Which seems to be a rare thing. Besides the ones obvious reason, why wouldn't someone want him as coach? Could it be they fear the offenses success is more predicated on personnel than scheme?Basically, an offense (and defense) is mostly effective when all of the players on the offense are on the same page. It's weird hearing TV commentators speak of how the QB reads the defense when in actuality it's the entire offense that's reading the field. In an NFL offense, a pass can have up to three options in a playcall (1. The primary route 2. A pre-snap adjust 3. A post-snap sight adjust). The more simple offenses only have the primary route. A more complex offense will have the first two (pre-snap adjustments are commonly known as audibles). The unstoppable offense has all three options. The post-snap sight adjust is the hardest thing to teach because it requires everyone running routes to be able to read the defense as well as the QB can AND that the WRs & QBs are understanding the defense in the same way that leads to the same conclusion. The WR is reading the defense while running the route while the QB is in the pocket and if they're off it leads to chaos at worst and ineptness at best.
Kansas City's offense is the way it is because they have talent, but their talent also understands the defense in the same way. Mahomes + Kelce + Tyreek essentially operate as if they're three people connected with the same brain. Just in this game today Kelce + Tyreek have been running routes and changed immediately based on what they saw the defense doing, Mahomes saw the same thing, and it led to a few big plays. Imagine an offense where the players are solving the defense mid-play. That's essentially what makes them so unstoppable. The person who is primarily responsible for coaching the players to have the same understanding, to allow for the post-snap adjustments, is the offensive coordinator through the offseason and during the week when installing the game plan. Some offensive minded head coaches will pop in on stuff, but what you see on Sunday is the culmination of the OC's coaching for the most part.
People who do all of this shyt for a living are around football enough to know "Andy Reid calls the plays though" isn't why the offense do what it does and they also know that Mahomes wasn't some can't miss prospect. Mahomes had to be coached to the point of where he is now.
If I were the Chargers I would hire him immediately because they'd get insight on the Chiefs offense, weaken the Chiefs by taking away an asset, and strengthen their own squad with a coach who understands how to teach talented offensive players.
I get it though.
You're basically criticizing Lions fans for not wanting their only options to be mediocrity and crap. They're bad franchises, but you also don't want them to in good faith try to be more than that.
