Walter football (Lions hire HC Dan Campbell: B Grade:  Dan Campbell, known otherwise as PC Head Coach, was the interim head coach of the Dolphins in 2015. He took over for the inept Joe Philbin and went 5-7 to close out the season despite coaching a team that didn't have much talent. Campbell's calling card was motivating his team. That, and supporting Strong Woman in her various athletic competitions.  I'm fine with this hire. I would have preferred a quarterback guru of sorts, but a motivational coach can be successful in the pros as long as he surrounds himself with a brilliant coaching staff. It remains to be seen what Campbell will do in that regard, though we know he tabbed Aaron Glenn to be his defensive coordinator. Glenn, serving with Campbell on the Saints' coaching staff as the defensive backs coach, is a smart guy who could have thrive in his new role. He had gotten the most out of most of his young defensive backs, so he'll at least improve the secondary.  I'll give the Lions a "B" grade for Campbell at the moment, but I could be more bullish on this hire once we know whom else he plans on adding to his staff. The Glenn hire is an A-, so Campbell is off to a good start.):  https://walterfootball.com/coachfirehire.php
