Dan is definitely a die on you feet not live on your knees kind of guy. and that's exactly why his players and every Detroit fan loves this guy. When he went for it on fourth down on his own side of the field and didn't make it the fans still cheered and carried on like they did make it. Hell half this board was on the verge of needing therapy after a fake punt on our own side.
Personally I would rather have a coach that put it all out there every play every game to win, than to have a coach that played every week to not lose just to keep that non losing season thing going. He either is letting his assistant coaches do their job unlike another coach we all know or he is the best offensive and defensive coach in the league.
I would take the guy for our team in a heart beat. I ponder what the records would be if we just swapped coaching staffs with the lions. All players stay where they are just swap coaches, would we have lost to teams like the Browns or the Cowboys? I wonder.
