BREAKING: Lions coach Dan Campbell dismisses controversy on Jahmyr Gibbs’ photo leaking protection calls

Dan Campbell isn’t sweating Jahmyr Gibbs’ social media slip-up that inadvertently leaked some of the Detroit Lions’ protection terminology.

Dan Campbell visibly concerned after Jahmyr Gibbs appears to leak Detroit  Lions plays

“I don’t really give a crap,” Campbell said Monday in his weekly radio interview on local Detroit radio station WXYT-FM. “If we’re going to lose because of code words then we’re not good enough anyway. So I think we’ll just post the whole fricking playbook out there and every code word we’ve got. And it doesn’t matter. It’s not going to hurt us, it won’t affect us and it’s all good.”

Gibbs posted a photo of fellow Lions running back Jermar Jefferson posing in front of a white board with the terms and responsibilities spelled out behind him. Some of them included “Caitlyn Jenner,” “Khloe Kardashian,” “Julia Roberts” and “Purple Michigan Wolverine.”

Campbell said opposing teams can hear those calls on the TV broadcast anyway and continued to downplay the incident, although he was apparently unaware of it at first before a reporter brought it to his attention during a news conference Saturday.

“It’s on tape. The TV copy. I mean, you guys at home get more than we do, until after the game,” Campbell said Monday. “I’m telling you, it’s crazy. Listen, it’s all out there and you can find any and everything that you need on the tape and how to attack people, how they’re going to attack you and no, listen, I’m not losing sleep over that.”

Campbell said he doesn’t believe the Lions need to drastically change their calls. Gibbs will not be disciplined, Campbell said, and he hasn’t yet commented on the situation.
