Bowles isn’t in the hotseat anymore than Dan Campbell, Andy Reid, or Sirriani. It’s how the league works now.
Funniest thing I’ve heard all day. Those other coaches have proven something and can withstand a bad season. Bowles has proven nothing. He should have been canned this year. Anything short of a division title and at least one playoff win and he is toast. At least he should be toast.
Dan Campbell has proven himself?? When exactly. Getting beat by the Redskins at home in the NFC semis? Or, not making the playoffs in Detroit with other-worldly talent on offense???
so if Sirriani or Campbell go 3-14 next year, they are safe???
Better question: which coaches will certainly get fired if they’re 8-9? Bowles is the only one.

As the Head Coach of the Detroit Lions, he's 47-36. That's a .565 winning percentage with one of the joke-franchises in the league. You have to go back to the 50's to find a HC of theirs with a higher winning percentage. I'd say he's proven himself to be a good HC. If he were fired tomorrow, which he won't be, he would have no trouble finding another HC gig. His problem was the OC he hired last offseason.
Look guy, you've been leghumping the bejesus outta Todd Bowles for years. You don't have much of a leg to stand on here.

Or, this has nothing to do with being pro Bowles as it does with how a competent OC would make a decision on where to coach. People have been saying stuff like, Bowles is already lame duck. I'm saying a good OC is going to bet his side of the ball being better and scoring points. Just like Coen did and to a lesser extent Canales did. My point is nothing more than that. Oh yeah, also, I am not a big Todd Monken guy. I don't see it.
Dan Campbell has proven himself??
Yes. Go look at his record side by side Bowles over the last 4 years. Do you even watch football? His teams play their asses off. I’d take Campbell as a HC any day. This was an off year, which every coach has if they’ve been at it for more than a couple years.

Because he is. Unless he steps out of himself and becomes a different HC than he’s historically been, his poor decisions and conservatism will sink this team even if they have a top 5 offense. I hope I’m proven wrong and the defense transforms itself, they find a pass rush, and the new Special Teams coach turns that unit into something halfway decent and not embarrassing. Outside of those things magically happening, Bowles will be fired at the end of the 2026 season.
The only positive I see for McDaniel choosing Tampa over Detroit OC job… is state (6%) and city taxes (24 Michigan cities apply additional tax - up to an additional 2.4%).
At his salary level that could be a consideration to weigh against superior offensive talent. If he could make a significant impact on that offense and help the Lions make a run, don’t think the tax savings would be that big of an issue.

When giving opinions on HC's, it kinda does.
I don't see it.
That's the point. You "saw it" with Bowles. You opinion on Campbell, or any coach for that matter, is pretty useless.
