“We are thrilled to have Brad and Dan under contract for the next four seasons,” said Detroit Lions Principal Owner and Chair Sheila Hamp. “They have been the driving force behind the rebuild of our football team and the success that we have enjoyed. The continuity they provide for our football program will continue to be the key to our future success on the field.”

Holmes and Campbell were brought in after the 2020 season, and have built the Lions into a contender, reaching the NFC championship game in their third season.

The Lions also announced that they have agreed to a multi-year extension with Special Assistant to the President/CEO and Chairperson Chris Spielman.

“I could not be more proud of the work that Brad, Dan and Chris have done for our organization,” said President and CEO Rod Wood. “They have selflessly worked together to build a winning culture within the Lions. I am excited to continue working with them to create the sustained success that we envision for the team, our fans, and the city of Detroit.”
