It’s been quite some time since we checked in with Detroit Lions fans regarding their opinion of general manager Brad Holmes. The last time we polled our audience was almost exactly a year ago, following the team’s 2025 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, those poll results were lost to time (and a migration to a new content management system at SB Nation).
Detroit, MI
A few rain & snow showers and some sunshine for Metro Detroit this weekend
4Warn Weather – SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy skies, a chance of rain and snow showers, primarily in the morning. Some sunshine expected late morning and into the afternoon. High: 48. Temperatures falling into the 30s for most of the day.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy skies. Low: 25.
SUNDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy skies. A chance of rain showers late. High: 45.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy skies, a chance of rain showers changing to a rain/snow mix. Low: 36.
We’re watching the radar Saturday morning as a cold front will move through the region this morning and bring a chance of a few rain/snow showers early, then a few flurries possible into the afternoon. Our daytime high in the upper 40s was hit early, and expect temperatures to fall into the 30s through most of the day.
We will keep some cloud cover into the forecast looking ahead into the overnight hours Saturday night. It will be colder overnight as well, expect overnight lows to drop into the middle 20s.
Majority of the weekend is dry, before another chance of rain moves into the forecast late Sunday night, and will hold onto a slight chance of rain showers early next week on Monday, but majority of the day should stay dry. With colder air moving into the region, we will keep the chance of some snowflakes North of Metro Detroit to start next week as well.
Cloud cover sticks around for the first part of next week before we do break up the cloud cover a little bit by Wednesday and bring some sunshine back into the forecast. High temperature is remaining a few degrees below average into the low and mid 40s for the first half of next week
Expect the cloud cover to hold tough looking ahead into next Thursday as well before we do see temperatures warm-up a bit by Thursday afternoon. High temperatures warming into the upper 40s to lower 50s by Thursday.
Another round of rain moves into the region for the end of next week on Friday. High temperatures going back above average again. Expect high temperatues to head into the middle 50s by Friday afternoon.

4Warn Weather – SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy skies. A chance of showers and thunderstorms. A few storms could be strong with gusty winds and hail. High: 71.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy skies, becoming partly cloudy skies late. Low: 45.
SUNDAY (MOTHER’S DAY): Mix of sunshine and clouds, cooler temperatures. High: 61.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy skies. Another chilly night. Low: 41.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny skies, remaining chilly. High: 58.
After a beautiful end to the week on Friday with sunshine and a little cloud cover, with warmer temperatures moving into the region as well, some of us are waking up to some patchy dense fog on Saturday morning. Some places south of M-59 are seeing reduced visibilities down to around a mile. If you do run into some patchy dense fog, be sure to use your low beams.
That warming trend continues into the start of the weekend on Saturday, but it also brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Another cold front will work through the region by Saturday afternoon and early Saturday evening and that will bring our thunderstorm chance. High temperature is warming into low 70s by Saturday afternoon.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the region under a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) on our severe weather scale for the start of the weekend. Gusty winds and hail are the primary threats as we work through the start of the weekend, but this will not be a widespread threat for severe thunderstorms.
Behind that cold front for the end of the weekend on Sunday, we will keep a mixture of sunshine and clouds into the forecast. High temperatures running about 10 to 15° cooler to end the weekend. Expect high to warm into the upper 50s to lower 60s by Sunday afternoon.
Drier weather sticks around for the start of next week, before another chance of rain moves into the region by the time we get to Tuesday. The cooler-than-average temperatures will continue into the start of next week as well. Expect high temperatures to remain in the 50s for Monday and Tuesday.
Temperature start to warm up by the middle of next week, and Drier weather moves back in by Wednesday behind another cold front moving into the region. Expect high temperatures into the lower 60s on Wednesday to warm into the upper 60s by the time we get to Thursday. Above average temperatures move back into the region as we look ahead into the end of the week, expect high temperatures back into the lower 70s by the time we get to Friday.

But as you can see below, Holmes has been an extremely popular figure among Detroit sports fans for pretty much his entire career.
Although, if there was a time when Holmes’ popularity took a hit, it was likely during the 2025 NFL season, when the Lions took their first clear step back since he and Dan Campbell came to town.
Since last year’s data was lost to time, this is a good opportunity to check back in with Lions fans. While Holmes certainly deserves a ton of credit for getting the Lions back to relevancy and helping them produce four consecutive seasons with winning records, there are some serious blemishes on his resumé now. The 2024 NFL Draft class has not lived up to his high standards through two seasons, some of his riskiest picks over the last few years have all failed to pay off, and last year’s roster just wasn’t good enough to withstand the injuries.
But Holmes is also coming off a very crowd-pleasing draft. Detroit addressed their two biggest needs with their first two selections, and there were no crazy head-scratching picks or expensive trade ups. Many have categorized his latest draft as “back to business as usual,” which could have some fans he lost back on his side.
However, that is all up to you. Vote on your thoughts about Holmes’ time in Detroit below, and share your extended thoughts in the comment section at the bottom of the page.
