Having wept my way through the long disaster of the Matt Millen years at the Lions, and the persistent disappointment of the Wayne Fontes years
WF's still the longest-serving head coach of the Lions, most victories, most defeats. I suspect that Dan Campbell will break the victories mark, but not the defeats mark. With the loss of both his coordinators to head coaching jobs, we'll find out soon enough -- he's got 24 already, 3–13–1,9–8,12–5).
A lot of teams fall into the habit of constant turnover in coaching, and stupid trades and drafts -- the Browns come to mind :^). Overpaying QBs, particularly with huge guaranteed money terms, trade approval, etc, will be the next thing to get its ass kicked.
Seeing the recent spate over overpaying non-QBs crazy guaranteed money suggests that the overpaying part will be with the NFL for a while yet.
My fear is that there’s a ceiling with Goff, he can get you only so far. If the Lions are going to win a SB in this window, they really will have to beef up the defense.
