Who in their right mind would want that job?

Good pay, especially if you have a Matt Rhule situation. Get a big contract, get fired in a couple years, they're forced to pay you out multi-millions, you do college or an assistant coaching job in the NFL for a couple years, get hired as a HC again to a better organization, laughing.
 
Lions have a lot to work with, I like the roster makeup. If they got pick 1 offensive coaches would be drooling over the HC position.

Sean Peyton to the Lions would be magic given the weapons.

Reckon the entire Lions staff will be let go soon. Once Campbell HC is fired, there'll be a near clean out season's end

I think Glenn will go before the rest, there usually tends to be a scapegoat firing by the HC before hes also fired.
 
Scapegoat #1, still surprised they didNT fire Glenn but maybe they have nobody qualified on staff to call defensive plays.

Lions fired defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant.​

In desperate need of a change on the defensive side of the ball, the Lions opted to part ways with Pleasant on Monday. Detroit fell 31-27 to Miami in Week 8, blowing a 27-17 lead at halftime while allowing 382 yards and three touchdowns through the air. The Lions rank eighth in the league in points per game (24.7), but are dead last in points allowed per game (32.1) and are allowing the sixth-most passing yards per game (266.4). Safeties coach Brian Duker is expected to take over as the team's defensive backs coach.

Guess the DB coach was holding the Lions defense back all along ;)
 
Well, I wrote them off a few weeks ago. How wrong could I have been? Although still not world beaters, they seem to have left behind the second half fade outs and chokes Lions fans are accustomed to.
They are playing a very entertaining style which came out early in the season with all the 4th down attempts.
How long can it last? Who knows but Campbell and Goff have improved substantially.

[OC] Through two seasons, only two of the sixteen WRs drafted before Amon-Ra St. Brown have more total yards or TDs (Jamarr Chase and Jaylen Waddle)

Jamarr Chase: 2501 receiving yds, 29 rushing yds, 22 TDs

Jalen Waddle: 2371 receiving yds, 29 rushing yds, 15 TDs

Amon-Ra St. Brown: 2073 receiving yds, 156 rushing yds, 12 TDs

Devonta Smith: 2112 receiving yds, 0 rushing yds, 12 TDs

Josh Palmer: 1122 receiving yds, 10 rushing yds, 7 TDs

Elijah Moore: 984 receiving yds, 59 rushing yds, 7 TDs

No other WR in the class has topped 1000 total yards yet

EDIT: had the wrong rushing total for Chase
 
Because grass requires more maintenance and care, and an indoor grass field would mean major renovations to the lights inside the dome, so it's a high upfront cost and a high continued cost for the care and crews to care for the field. With turf, there isn't as much maintenance work so it's a higher upfront cost but lower cost down the line until you have to replace it again. Essentially, it's all about saving money.

It isn’t even about getting the grass to grow inside. The Lions don’t own that field. Ford Field is hosting a monster truck rally, a motocross race, and 3 concerts before the end of June. A grass surface would be ruined after one of those events. It’s just not practical for a lot of NFL stadiums to use grass because they host so many non-sporting events throughout the year and occasionally with very short turnaround.
