Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell wants no part of the new NFL rule that allows coaches to designate an ***** istant to throw the challenge flag during games this fall.
Campbell said Sunday, Aug. 16, he plans to handle all challenges himself this season. He unsuccessfully challenged one play in the Lions' preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
"I'm not giving that flag up to anybody," Campbell said. "No way."
Asked why, Campbell said, "Look, the buck stops with me, anyway."
"I'm answering the questions, so why would I give it to somebody else for me to answer for somebody else?" he said. "It all comes to me, anyway. And so yeah, that's it."
