God bless the Lions.

No, he wouldn't be a home-run hire, especially after seeing what transpired in Chicago over the last three years.
But, if Lions head man Dan Campbell could get Nagy under control and get him to play his style of football (with a heavy emphasis on the ground game), there could be a match between Nagy and the Detroit-based NFL franchise.
From all accounts, Campbell would prefer hiring Lions tight ends coach/passing game coordinator Ben Johnson for the OC opening. Johnson played an instrumental role in helping Campbell transition to calling offensive plays this past season.
"Ben is certainly, he’s in this conversation," Campbell said Tuesday from Mobile, Ala., the site of the Senior Bowl. "I’ve started the process this week. And so, I’ll have interviewed, I’m not going to give you names, but at least a couple by the time we leave Mobile."
Nagy is no front-runner for the aforementioned coordinator vacancy. However, there's a case to be made that the former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator could at least be sufficient in the same role on Campbell's staff in Detroit.
