Speaking as some random guy in New Zealand who coaches kids' inline hockey, Dan Campbell is my role model as a coach - if I strive for that level of authenticity with the kids I coach, and their parents, then everything is golden.
Yeeeèeeesir! Every good coach learns from the greats whether it's 1 coach or 5 coaches.....always take a piece of their philosophy and use it to create your own. Dan Campbell is a great one to learn from!
Took my son-in-law who’s from BC and die hard Seahawks fan to Ford Field for home opener 2014 the year WCF died. They beat the Giants, Barry Sanders was there and Denzil Washington was a few rows in front of us in the ESPN booth. I gave my son-in-law my Lions ball cap, and now they’re his second favourite team🤣 he said he really wasn’t upset when they beat the Seahawks a few weeks back! Go Lions!
I been a fan since I was 5 of this lions team and I want a statue of Dan Campbell. He's the best in my opinion. You guys also have to remember, he WANTED to come to Detroit because he knew if he turned it around, what kind of crazy atmosphere it would be. Nobody wanted to come to Detroit at that time. You come to Detroit to lose in the past. He is the only guy that could have turned this team around. I don't know if there's a coach in history, or at least not many of them, that could have turned it around. It was more than just smarts, strategy, and schematics that it was going to take. It takes that grit attitude to turn the worst franchise in all sports history to what we are now
We’re honestly blessed to have GM and a coach who are on the same page and see things the same way. So hard to find a relation like Brad and Dan have in professional sports.
Dream pairing. Also extremely fortunate to still have Ben Johnson around before his genius was revealed. Have to remember he was about of the Patricia Staff as a TE coach and could have easily been gone with the new regime.
Brad and Dan deserve so much credit, but we also have to give Sheila a ton of credit too. Competent ownership is pretty much a necessity to be a good team in any sport, and it looks like the Lions FINALLY have that for the first time ever.
Dan Campbell reminds me of Bill Cowher in so many ways and the success is translating onto the field. Never been a Lions fan (Born/Raised Patriots guy for 40+years) but I always love when teams that have languished at the bottom for too long finally put it together and start winning. Saw it with the Pats, Bucs, Saints and Seahawks. Hope to see it in Detroit!
@@SteveAbernethyCFA Approach to 'power' football and stout defense, aggressive playcalling, in your face and honest with players and able to COMMAND respect in the locker room, rather than DEMAND it. Cowher was the same way at his peak, and we saw how Pittsburgh benefitted from it. Not saying it's a 1-1 comparison to Bill, but I see the commonalities, and there's far worse coaches to emulate in NFL history.
That is exactly who I thought of when he was introduced. As far as languishing - I have been a lions fan - for 50+ yrs - Its been pretty much established the ownership of William Clay Ford - it is almost impossible to consistently perform that poorly that long. Fortunately for us his daughter has a different approach . Never forget that this success story - begins and ends with Sheila and Chris Speilman - everything else comes out of that duo . I saw an interview over the summer - with Speilman and his brother Rick who was GM for Miami and Minnesota - So when Dan Campbell was hired and did his press conference where he talked about biting kneecaps - Rick Speilman's wife watched it - and said - OMG - your brother hired himself as coach - they have the same mindset .
Lion s are a great road team a true sign they will take the next step and have a chance to knock off ravens chiefs or bills it would help if Hutchinson comes back in olayoffs
I get it now. I understand the turn around and success of the lions. The coach has a perspective like almost no other in the league. He’s been recruiting a dream team before he got to Detroit in a sense. :). Love the guy, the league needs more like him. You are the best Coach Campbell . :)
I was thinking about this while listening. This is the way to succeed in any arena of life. Pay attention, notice the small details, make alliances, plan for the future.
This was the best Rich Eisen Show segment ever! You nailed the interview and got the real behind the curtain from 2018 to today with Campbell, Holmes, Goff, Detroit and Lions nation! Thanks, Rich!!!
Best coach ever. Build him a statue in Detroit! I don’t care the record, sign him to a lifetime contract. Signed, lifelong Detroit Lions fan!!! OnePride 🦁 !
Well I like that idea - but first - lets start with him not having to move because he was being harassed about not kicking a field goal in the NFC championship game last year - I mean I know that was kids that went to school with his daughter but - come on we are better than that.
@@fullmetal929 Jared Goff is (I believe) 2-0 versus Mahomes. So if both teams make it to the Superbowl, the Lions can knock off the Chiefs!! I hope both teams make it because the Superbowl would be epic!
I've been A Lions fan since they played at Tiger Stadium. My ALL time favorite NFL player is Barry "The RB GOAT". So I feel that I am qualified to say this. Lions HC Dan Campbell is THE BEST HC COACH that The Lions EVER had. On the sidelines, at a press conference, in the locker room we always get an authentic 8,passionate football coach. I remember when he was a TE for The Lions then and I admired his toughness and tenacity. It was an article around 2016 by Darlington about Campbell's Interim HC Dolphins job. So when Lions President Sheila Hamp, VP Chris Spielman and GM Brad Holmes interviewed and hired him. Y'all just imagine that interview. When I heard that MC DC "kneecaps" speech I was fired up. Campbell has a:"personal" relationship with every single player and every single coach. In press conferences he can go on about a 3rd string special teams player as if he was a star. It's fascinating to me just watching it so I can imagine how it is for the players. I hope he's The Lions coach for the next 20 years. If The Lions can overcome the loss of DE Aidan Hutchison, they can be Super Bowl contenders.
Prayers to Hutch man. I know he’s watching this and reading these comments. Keep your head up big dog. We’re gonna be here when you come back! We got you.
Dan Campbell is the kind of man that inspires no matter what he's saying. Talking softly about the path his career took, the emotions well up. Pointing out mistakes and getting on guys to clean it up, you feel the sadness of disappointing him. He's genuine, he shares his emotions, he connects with people effortlessly because he's just so damn likable. I'd do everything in my power to run through a brick wall if that's what Coach Campbell asked of me.
DCs first 24 games he was 4-19-1. Since then he’s 27-9. This is proof of giving a guy a chance instead of recycling coaches every 2 years. I’m not sure if we will win a Super Bowl but being a consistent contender I will gladly take. LFG!!
Between Sheila Ford and Chris Spielman, I think they kinda recognized that they were building a culture from scratch, and that it wouldn't happen overnight. Also didn't hurt that they won 6 more games in 2022 than in 2021. If there's improvement, you get the benefit of the doubt, and the team has improved each year. A lot of those two year coaches win 4 games year one, 5 games year two, and there's no sense that things are trending upward. The team got worse under Matt Patricia, and he alienated the locker room.
@@nickpatrick7021 That’s fair but I still think DC could have been fired after the first year and a half. Most regimes wouldn’t have the patience that Sheila and Chris did
I am starting to become a fan favorite of the Detroit Lions especially I love the players, coaching staff, passionate fans, community, and family! The Detroit Lions are now my favorite 2nd team with my Philadelphia Eagles as my number 1 favorite team!
They have become America's team - Goodell said last year the lions are the most requested team for national games - it is because of the way his team plays - and obviously they have a lot of incredibly talented players . Sure is a far cry from hearing people bitch every year about having to watch the lions on thanksgiving day !!!!
@pjpredhomme7699 agreed 👍! Detroit lions 🦁 America's team is better than the sticky and garbage cowboys or call them cowgirls 😆 🤣! Seeing them lose makes me happy, especially as an Eagles fan!
This guy is the best coach in the nfl. The best talent evaluator and best character. The best leader period God bless you Mr Campbell. Continued success
@@prayermadepatna8439 Bro, it took 2 TDs in the final 4 minutes in the first game and JUSTIN FIELDS beat you in the second game last year. We ready, for ya'll!
Good God I think Dan Campbell is an awesome freaking guy. I’ll always love him for giving me a great Lions team, regardless of whether or not they get a Super Bowl. He’s a Lions fan’s dream come true.
I had honestly never heard of the guy when they announced he was going to be the coach - and honestly I was a little disappointed - I knew that he had been a blocking tight end during a period of time most lions fans would love to forget . BUt when he got up and talked about the type of team he was going to build - and the hard nosed, aggressive type of football they were going to play - and of course famously - bite their kneecaps - he was thought of as a laughingstock - but I immediately thought - well this guy gets Detroit all the way .
I love Coach. He completely understands the team, because he's done it for a decade as a player and knows what it takes and how it feels. Never bet against a Dan Campbell-led team. 💪🦁💙
Campbell really is just like a pro wrestler. One of the few coaches who understands how to work the gimmick. One of the smartest dudes in the entire league
The only guy that lived his gimmick was Ric Flair… The rest of these wrestlers were phony.., Like Hulk Hogan telling kids ,, say your prayers and eat your vitamins., when he in reality he was Juiced to the gills and banging every blue eyed floozy on the way…
He is!! He reminds me of Stone Cold and they're both from Texas. The best wrestling gimmicks were always gimmicks that were an ext of the person so they could make you feel their promos.
Dan is great and we would not be where we are without him. People tend to overlook our GM, Brad Holmes, who has provided the right mix of players for this roster.
It seems like since Sheila took over there's a bunch of people around the org that have been absolutely critical to the success they're now enjoying. It's truly a chain of people that links together to make everything stronger.
Dan is just that dude. Inspirational, smart, tough, honest. If you were drawing up a blueprint for a coach, he's pretty much it. The Lions being built in his and Brad's image is a nature/nurture thing. They sign the right guys, then once they're in the environment they go even further down the right path. It's impressive how well they've executed their original dream with the team building.
"GOFF, GOFF, GOFF!!!", that chant when Stafford walked back into Ford Field was all he ever needed to finally reach his full potential and feel that he's a REAL Champion first round pick that's LOVED, He's shown us as fans nothing less than brilliance, stamina, toughness and excellence at the hardest moments. I felt for Stafford and had respect for em as a great QB, but it doesn't even compare to how I feel about Goff.
I have watched the Lions in seven different decades and as much as I love Dan Campbell I realize that without Sheila Ford-Hamp it would be the same old Lions.
Being a long time Lions fan, even through the mess of the 0-16 team, I feel so unbelievably blessed to finally have a hc and gm that are so in tune with each other. He got robbed last year imo, so this year i hope he gets coach of the year.
I have so much respect for him as both a coach and a person. My only fear is the Chiefs have to face the Lions in the Super Bowl. He is such an awesome coach.
This man is one hell of a coach. Haven't heard one guy who has left Detroit over the past 4 years bad mouth him. The players all want to play for him. Players can learn plays and run routes, but unless the team has a strong culture they all believe in and work ethic as a team, you won't win in the NFL. Changing a teams culture is so difficult. This man does it the right way. He is true to himself and his players see that authenticity
Coach - with the way the team is playing - how about we revisit his idea of getting a live lion on the sidelines !!! lets amp up the home field advantage .
I would be SHOCKED that Ben Johnson is still the OC for the Detroit Lions next year. I think he's a HOT commodity and his talent as a HEAD coach in the NFL is OBVIOUSLY there. ESPECIALLY coaching the best offense in the NFL this year or one of the top 2 or 3 in the league.
Ben has been extremely picky with HC interviews and offers. He has said he wants competent GM and Owner. I think Ben is rather satisfied being the best OC in the NFL. He isn't in a rush to become a HC like many others. He likes being able to do what he wants and his HC & GM allow him to. He can get pretty, get ugly, get cute and he has their support. Hell he stiffed the Commanders last year for HC. He is happy where he is.
@@KungFuJesus187 COOL, thank you for the insight Mr. Kung Fu Jesus, I am not connected 😉 I don't want him to leave Detroit, that would mess things up. I'm sure they are paying him top $$$ to, probably $1-2 million annually 🤔
i’m still reeling from the Hutch injury. real worst case scenario type stuff. he was going to break records this year. can’t wait for him to be back, guess he’ll have to break them next year.
I've said this years before Mr. Campbell arrived here. The other coaches did not have control of the players let alone the team. The only exception was Wayne Fontes. you would see in games that only certain players really played. Others were just standing around. But there would be no repercussions for the laziness. Week in , week out the same guys not playing hard. Then with the debacle that was Matt Patricia, I could only wonder what the hell the front office was thinking. The Lions needed a coach that commanded respect, had the respect of the guys, control of the team with the ability to bench guys and have a say in the player acquisition. When I heard they hired him, I was now if they get some good front office personnel we have something here. Then they got Brad Holmes. Wow. With the hiring of Arron Glenn and Ben Johnson, I told my friends here we go. Yes they had a rough start with Goff just going through the motions it was not going to be easy. Goff was just retaliating over the trade and shooting himself in the foot. But big D.C. Got him and the rest to buy into his logic and system. They know he has been in their place. He's a person that can understand what these guys go through. Most of all he has gotten every man on that team to play the game of football. No ball hogs, no whinnies, no prima Donna's just a bunch of guys helping each other in any way possible. Everyone blocks. It doesn't matter what your position, you help your teammates. That's because of Dan Campbell.
It is going to be interesting to see if the lions put together a long term of success year after year, i sort of see dan Campbell changing the NFL. Its either correct to take these type of chances on 4th down and fake punts or its not. I think if they sustain success, the NFL will copy, if it ends up not working, nobody might try it like the old days
Funny just 4 yrs ago, you had players choosing to retire rather than play for Detroit, it was like Cia agent being assigned to Siberia lol.. Now it's a destination that great players would love to get to.

Dropping gems 🤫
Coach - with the way the team is playing - how about we revisit his idea of getting a live lion on the sidelines !!! lets amp up the home field advantage .
I would be SHOCKED that Ben Johnson is still the OC for the Detroit Lions next year. I think he's a HOT commodity and his talent as a HEAD coach in the NFL is OBVIOUSLY there. ESPECIALLY coaching the best offense in the NFL this year or one of the top 2 or 3 in the league.
Ben has been extremely picky with HC interviews and offers. He has said he wants competent GM and Owner. I think Ben is rather satisfied being the best OC in the NFL. He isn't in a rush to become a HC like many others. He likes being able to do what he wants and his HC & GM allow him to. He can get pretty, get ugly, get cute and he has their support. Hell he stiffed the Commanders last year for HC. He is happy where he is.
@@KungFuJesus187 COOL, thank you for the insight Mr. Kung Fu Jesus, I am not connected 😉 I don't want him to leave Detroit, that would mess things up. I'm sure they are paying him top $$$ to, probably $1-2 million annually 🤔
@@bradcrawford1998.. Mannn you gotta stop all that pocket watching
How can you not like this guy?
I love Dan Campbell!
Love coach Campbell
GO LIONS!!!
Dan the man campbell
Dan the Manbell
i’m still reeling from the Hutch injury. real worst case scenario type stuff. he was going to break records this year. can’t wait for him to be back, guess he’ll have to break them next year.
Imagine being the guy who criticizes Dan. Boy Chris Christie, I would have sat that one out.
This man is awesome
Rich, the guest knows you are talking to them, Rich. You don’t have to keep repeating their name, Rich, over and over again, Rich.
This is what a coach is about. Guys love this . Players love it....I'm a former hockey player and wow....if he knew hockey
4:22 Blue collar roots…his dad was a professional baseball player. I mean, I love the Lions and Goff, but that was funny.
This dude pulls no punches.
Wears his emotions on his face.
Nothing to hide unless he's
required to hide it.
I hope they get to the sb this season!
If there was an image of unapologetically authentic in the dictionary... it would be a picture of Dan Campbell
Lol😅
no worries up here bud . buckle up
Montgomery is AP with slightly less speed
Hey coach you wanted a lion in a cage on the side lines that would be so cool to make it Hutch in a cage 😅
Yooo that is crazy
Wild
Damn I really thought there would be a mention of when Maxx is coming 😂
I've said this years before Mr. Campbell arrived here. The other coaches did not have control of the players let alone the team. The only exception was Wayne Fontes. you would see in games that only certain players really played. Others were just standing around. But there would be no repercussions for the laziness. Week in , week out the same guys not playing hard. Then with the debacle that was Matt Patricia, I could only wonder what the hell the front office was thinking. The Lions needed a coach that commanded respect, had the respect of the guys, control of the team with the ability to bench guys and have a say in the player acquisition. When I heard they hired him, I was now if they get some good front office personnel we have something here. Then they got Brad Holmes. Wow. With the hiring of Arron Glenn and Ben Johnson, I told my friends here we go. Yes they had a rough start with Goff just going through the motions it was not going to be easy. Goff was just retaliating over the trade and shooting himself in the foot. But big D.C. Got him and the rest to buy into his logic and system. They know he has been in their place. He's a person that can understand what these guys go through. Most of all he has gotten every man on that team to play the game of football. No ball hogs, no whinnies, no prima Donna's just a bunch of guys helping each other in any way possible. Everyone blocks. It doesn't matter what your position, you help your teammates. That's because of Dan Campbell.
Jared finds ways to win plain and simple
Dan is a very smart.
MCDC!!
"Winners always want the ball when the game is on the line."
The Dude abides.
JG is a bay kid 🤘🏽
They can use the cage Dan Campbell wanted to use for a real Lion.
Goated
Got to be a top 3 guy you want to play for.
SB24-2/3by2030!🦁⚒️💙
Jared Goff reminds me more of Peyton Manning for some reason.
He's just cool and accurate
DC is a top man (as is BH)
Dan is the man! However, please Dan, stop going for fake punts on the opponents' 30 yard line! Please 🙏
“Don’t you want to be predictably unpredictable?”
Won the chiefs game but yeah I get it
Dan could run for Mayor of Detroit.
It is going to be interesting to see if the lions put together a long term of success year after year, i sort of see dan Campbell changing the NFL. Its either correct to take these type of chances on 4th down and fake punts or its not. I think if they sustain success, the NFL will copy, if it ends up not working, nobody might try it like the old days
MCDC!
The lions are trying to overtake my home teams allegiance that I have. I look for the lions score before my teams
🦁 LIIIOONNNSS 🦁
7:35 Ayyyyoooooo
Looks like Dan back on that ❄️. It seemed like he was off it for a while. Wishing him nothing but the best
Funny just 4 yrs ago, you had players choosing to retire rather than play for Detroit, it was like Cia agent being assigned to Siberia lol.. Now it's a destination that great players would love to get to.
