Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, who guided the club to its first NFL playoff victory since the 1991 season, has agreed to terms on a contract extension through 2027.

The Lions announced Thursday that Campbell, general manager Brad Holmes and special assistant Chris Spielman had all signed contract extensions.

"We're thrilled to have Brad and Dan under contract for the next four seasons," Lions owner Sheila Hamp said. "They have been the driving force behind the rebuild of our football team and the success we have enjoyed. The continuity they provide for our football program will continue to be the key to our future success on the field."

In his third season as head coach, Campbell guided the Lions to a 12-5 record last season and playoff victories over the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before a loss at San Francisco in the NFC Championship -- one step shy of the team's first-ever Super Bowl appearance.

The Lions, who captured their first division title since 1993 last year, have not won an NFL title since 1957, before the creation of the Super Bowl.

"I could not be more proud of the work that Brad, Dan and Chris have done for our organization," said Lions president Rod Wood. "They have selflessly worked together to build a winning culture within the Lions."
