Dan Campbell: Relationship with Brad Holmes is golden
Lions General Manager Brad Holmes shrugged off talk of a rift with head coach Dan Campbell about the team's direction by saying the two men are in " total lockstep " and Campbell sent a similar message on Friday. The Lions are trying to rebound from missing the playoffs and that has led to a lot of changes to the roster, but Campbell said that his relationship with Holmes is in as good a place as it has been since the two began working together in Detroit in 2021. "Brad and myself do everything together ," Campbell said at a Crain's Detroit Business event, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.
"And despite what’s been out there, that’s a bunch of — listen, we’re golden, man. We are as good as we’ve ever been, we want to win and we’re going to get it right. " Campbell expressed confidence that the two men are "going to get back to what we’ve been before last year.
" Accomplishing that task will be the easiest way to put questions about their working relationship and the soundness of their plans to rest.
