You know how it is when you become a highly successful coach in sports. When you’re hot, you’re hot, and suddenly, you started getting offers that you never thought you’d see. It can be very flattering, but it doesn’t always mean the fit or time is right, when it comes to leaving your gig. Well, Dan Campbell could get offered another coaching job. But, really, why would he leave the Detroit Lions?

Seriously. Even if this offer comes through, I don’t see Campbell leaving the dynasty he’s creating in Detroit. But, it’s good to keep an eye on these things. So, read on for the scoop.

Dan Campbell Could Get Offered Another Coaching Job

Texas A&M let go of their head football coach, Jimbo Fisher, last weekend. They gave him a big buyout, as they wanted him friggin’ gone, and now, they’re looking for a new head coach. At Texas A&M, football is everything. So, finding a fantastic new coach is top priority. That’s where coach Campbell comes into play. Campbell graduated from Texas A&M in 1998. A new report from TheAthletic.com states that Campbell “epitomizes everything we suspect the school would want in a head coach.” They add that, “He has jumped into what was an abysmal franchise and has that city thinking there’s finally a Super Bowl in its future.” Of course, this year’s record is also stellar, as the Lions are 7-2 and in real playoff contention. They also sit atop the NFC North and are currently No. 2 in the NFC, only behind the Philadelphia Eagles.

So, will this happen? I’m thinking absolutely not. Also, I will personally get on my knees and pray and beg for Campbell to stay. TheAthletic.com agrees, stating, “Could A&M lure him home despite all that he has done and is doing in Detroit, getting all the buy-in he has gotten? It would seem doubtful that he’d walk away from all that.” Next up on the NFL schedule, the Lions play the Chicago Bears this Sunday.

5 Hottest Personalities in the NFL Right Now

  • Patrick Mahomes

    Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

  • Travis Kelce

    Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it’s because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

  • Dan Campbell

    All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That’s not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

  • Bill Belichick

    Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we’ll introduce him anyway. He’s the former head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He’s had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He’s incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

  • Jalen Hurts

    Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he’s known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He’s a major contender and personality.
