In a shocking turn of events, talks for a huge $65.3 million contract extension have apparently come to an abrupt halt after Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell unexpectedly left the team. Fans and commentators are shocked by the choice, and Campbell himself has sent a confusing message:
Campbell said, “It is not my fault,” during a quick press conference. “I gave this team and this city everything I had. However, I have no control over some things.
According to those familiar with the matter, Campbell and Lions ownership are at odds over the terms of the pact. Some others believe that long-term control over team decisions and performance incentives may have contributed to the breakdown, while specifics are still unknown.
After leading Detroit to one of its most successful seasons in decades, Campbell—who has been the driving force behind the Lions’ comeback—was anticipated to sign a hefty deal. Fans are now left to question if there is still hope for reconciliation or if the Lions’ illustrious history is over due to this startling departure.
