Lions named Rick Campbell as the next head coach.
Big surprise.
Never saw that coming.
He's a young coach 48 & if he can guide the Lions into 1st place finishes or winning seasons he could be a long term H C.
He's got experience.
Ottawa had a worst record than the Lions in 2019.
He was born in Wa. State so he may feel quite comfy coaching so closeby.
Mike Reilly I believe is from Washington St. too.
Ed H the Lion GM seems to have good chemistry with Coach Campbell.
Hope Rick C. has the good blend of being a tough but fair coach.
This past year when his team was behind he looked too quiet on the sidelines
Tv tsn games.
Guess I like a coach with more expression...Vic Rapp or Dave Ritchie types.
But we will find out.
BC Lions have a history of head coaches being hired for 1-2 yrs. & then "bye".
Not very many coaches in BC have stayed long time. Exceptions of course. D Matthews D Ritchie W Buono E Keys are a few...
Will Rick Campbell be a good fit...time will tell. Mix feelings on this guy.
He may surprise. Hope so.
