Report suggests Detroit Lions HC Dan Campbell could make ‘surprise’ hire

By all accounts, Detroit Lions‘ new head coach Dan Campbell has been absolutely killing it (in a good way) when it comes to putting together his coaching staff, and he is not done yet.

In fact, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Campbell may have a surprise or two up his sleeve, including potentially hiring a current high school coach to help out.

From Sports Illustrated:

Dan Campbell’s staff is coming together in Detroit—and landing Aaron Glenn (who’s on a head-coaching fast track) and Anthony Lynn (who’d met with Urban Meyer about a job in Jacksonville) has given him a heck of a starting point. Duce Staley coming on puts another ex-player into the fray, and further clarifies the identity of the group. And yet, I think you might see a surprise or two, still, and that’s because of where Campbell went when I asked him about his staff the other night. “You’re making a ton of phone calls about guys, in reference to guys, trying to do your due diligence,” Campbell said. “I’ve said all along, I said it on my interview, I don’t want to hire guys just because they’re my friends. Now, if I happen to find a guy who I know is a dang good coach, and he’s a friend, I’ll do it. But I’m not kidding when I say we’re looking everywhere. I’m using Chris Spielman as a resource, and we are looking everywhere. I’m looking in Canadian football, I’m looking in college football, we’re still looking in the league, I know of a high school coach right now that I’m thinking of, how do I get him on this staff. You know why? Because he’s a dang good coach. He just needs to grow and learn, that’s all. So that’s what I’m in the process of. All the great coaches, and all the great people I have a ton of respect for in this business, have all said the same thing, it’s the same message, there’s a lot of things that come out, but here’s the one constant that they all say: Do not rush your staff, do not rush hiring your staff, do not do it because this is the most important decision I’ll make. And we’re not.” I will say that the idea of a high school coach coming in did pique my interest. We’ll see if it materializes.

Well, this is certainly interesting. Nation, would you like to see Campbell bring a current high school coach to join his staff?
