What a long three years it’s been. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Come back in time with me for a moment. Remember 2017? More specifically, I mean the last day of 2017. The Lions had played their final game with Jim Caldwell as their head coach. The team finished the year at 9-7 and everyone knew what would happen the next day. We all knew Jim Caldwell was done, but optimism was high.
The idea at the time was that the Lions were good team that just needs the right captain to drive the ship in the championship direction.
