Detroit Lions fire OC Anthony Lynn; Dan Campbell 'not in a hurry' to find replacement

On the surface, it seemed like the perfect fit. In reality, it was anything but.

The Detroit Lions and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn mutually agreed to part ways Monday, the day after the Lions finished their season with a 37-30 win over the Green Bay Packers.

"It just wasn’t a fit," Lions coach Dan Campbell said in his end-of-season news conference. "We just, you want it to be, but I think it just, we never found our groove or our rhythm, if you will and it’s hard to really, truly pinpoint (why). It just, sometimes it just doesn’t work out the way you want and that’s really the best answer I can give you.
