Dan Campbell is in Detroit for the long haul. If all goes well, at least until the end of the 2027 season.
This Thursday, the Lions announced the extension of their coach's contract until this deadline. Same duration for Brad Holmes, the general manager, also rewarded with a new contract.
“We are pleased to have Brad and Dan under contract for the next four seasons,” franchise owner Sheila Hamp said in the release. “They have been the driving forces behind the rebuilding of our team and the successes we have enjoyed. »
Dan Campbell, constant progression
Dan Campbell arrived in 2021 at the head of the Lions. Since then, his results have only improved. Only three victories in the first year. Nine successes and a big end to the season in 2022. Then confirmation in 2023, with 12 victories and a participation in the playoffs until the NFC conference final.
With three victories at the gates of the Super Bowl in three seasons, Campbell has not stolen his new contract. His salary figures have not been made public, as is always the case with NFL coaches.
The work of Brad Holmes, who also arrived in 2021, also played a large part in the Lions' return to the forefront. Sam LaPorta, Aidan Hutchinson and Penei Sewell were all wise Draft choices. The arrival of Jared Goff is ultimately also a success.
Now, Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes are expected even higher. On top.
