Dan Campbell ranked outside top 10 NFL coaches in latest listing

Summary

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell was ranked just outside the top-10 NFL coaches list by CBS Sports. Despite leading the Lions to significant success over recent seasons, including an NFC North Division title, Campbell's ranking places him below two divisional rivals—Ben Johnson of the Chicago Bears and Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers. Johnson finished sixth after a strong 11-6 season with the Bears, while LaFleur came in tenth. Campbell expressed a desire for the Lions to return to basics, emphasizing the importance of running the football and improved situational performance as the team prepares for the upcoming season, opening with a preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on August 13.
