ALLEN PARK, Mich. – As new head coach Dan Campbell put together his staff for the Detroit Lions, there were two basic tenets he had in place when making decisions on who he wanted to hire.
First, they needed to be a good person. Second, they needed to be a good coach. If someone had one and not the other -- even if they were someone Campbell liked a lot personally -- it wasn’t going to work for him.
“In my head, I said, who is the best dude that I know as far as person that I know as an outstanding teacher and coach,” Campbell told ESPN.
