For me, when Sheila fired Quinn and Patricia, I felt a ray of hope emerging.
It's turned into a brilliant, bright, sunny Lion world!
Thank you, Sheila!
Quinn and Patricia were finessing the old lady with the 'nice boys' routine. Sheila saw them exactly for what they were. Losers.
1/14/21 was my favorite birthday is because of Brad Holmes hired. And I just knew in my heart he was the one for the job.
This was an absolute GUTs OUT RE-BUILD...3-13 to 15 -2. That didn't happen magically. And the courage to do a gut and rebuild and NOT Waiver, with the press constantly calling you out. This was so much harder then I think anyone of us can imagine. It took faith and time.
brings tears of joy to this old man's eyes it's been a heckuva story. #GoLions
You all deserve it! I'm happy for the city of Detroit. My wife is from Detroit but she start watching football because of me and now she leans with Atlanta but I told her 3 years ago she might want to jump on her home city train. She cheers for them when as a secondary team. It's my fault LOL! Thanks for watching the video!
@@tedwitus My Dad always said they'd probably put together a Super Bowl caliber team when he died. Unfortunately that came to fruition almost 2 years ago! I hope he's got the best seat in the house to watch the LIONS and His RED WINGS!
My lady used to work at Ford Field. She was disabled, so she worked the elevators to the parking lots. She always greeted the fans with a welcoming smile. She loved the team, especially Calvin. She passed away in April of 2022. When they won on Sunday, I cried for her. She would have really loved the new team.
Can't forget Chris Spielman's role with the rebuild.
You are correct!
1000% agreed!
Amen to that. For what he went through losing his wife from cancer, getting his life on the right track, He deserves to get recognition on his behalf.
I just love this organization, so very well put together. When i pinch myself it HURTS !. From the office to the Coaches to the players, everything is 100%. I love the fact that if your a player looking for a paycheck dont look at Detroit. Detroit is looking for players that want to earn a paycheck. This team is absolutely for real. Thank you Sheila Ford Hamp, Chris speilman, Brad Holmes, Dan " the man " Campbell. " WOW " Coach Campbell should hands down get Coach of the year
This comment is so awesome! The culture in Detroit is top notch!! I'm from Atlanta, GA but my wife is from Detroit and I saw the difference.
good words my friend
SHEILA IS ONE EXCELLENT BOSS LADY!!
Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell are loved in Detroit tell ya what
They should be! You guys have something very special and refreshing for the NFL!
Sheila definitely wanted a winner more than her parents, once I saw her fire Qinn/ Pat so quick. Brad, Campbell is the key
Thanks for this video Maurice. A couple things to add to your timeline;
2021 - the Lions started the season 0 - 10 - 1, then winning three of their last six games.
2022 - they started the season 1 - 6 prompting Sheila Ford Hamp to hold a press conference reinforcing her support for Brad and Dan. The Lions won eight of their last ten games including a season ending win in Green Bay to knock the Packers out of the playoffs. EVEN THOUGH THE LIONS WERE ALREADY OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS AND SUPPOSEDLY HAD NOTHING TO PLAY FOR!
IMO, that game was (and always will be) the defining game of Dan Campbell’s career. After that game there was no doubt where this franchise was headed. Should have made the SB last year, and it is looking good for this year. Still a ways to go, but I have faith that it will happen under the current leadership.
They also fired their OC midseason and brought in Ben Johnson then won 8 of their last 10 games. Derailing Kansas on opening night the next season in Kansas and on their Super Bowl Banner Hanging Night!!!! That was awesome!!!
Hemp, Holmes, & Campbell told us early on what they were going to do and how they were going to do it.
They kept their word, performing precisely as advertised.
And now the proof is in the pudding.
Their method ought to be the way EVERYONE builds & maintains an organization - any and every organization, whatever the mission.
It’s hard to win. It’s hard. To get where you have is a testament of hard work. The refurbishing and to this 2024 season resonates with, if someone goes down, another steps up. Playing with the injury list and winning. Dan knows, ask any of those players/fans/organization from 2008. It’s hard and should be appreciated. Dan Campbell-Staff-et al amazing work amazing results. All those lean years here you are shining bright. Appreciate this because things can change in an instant. One thing for sure the fans have always been fans. If in doubt look at the emotion when losing and the emotion when winning. Emotion is passion released.✌️🏈
So true!!
Great video 🔥🔥🔥
Brad Holmes is a movie worthy come up story.
I know! I'm raising my hand to be put on that production LOL! Thank you for your comments!
Thank you so much for this. I had been unaware of how big a mentorship role Sean Payton played in DC's coaching career. It makes me think a little more highly of him now.
Great content. Gooooooo Lions!
Dan has stated Bill Parcells and Sean Peyton are his 2 coaching mentors.
@jeremyzier8706 didn't know that either (not a new Lions, but still learning after 10 years). Thanks! 😊
Sean Payton is a pure football coach! I would love to work for Coach Payton and Campbell!
@@mauricejhicks It sure looks like he's turning things around here in Colorado. I ain't changing colors though. ☺ I didn't care for the events of BountyGate, but am willing to hear people I respect, like DC, still speak highly of Payton. Nothing wrong with having an opinion educated and updated. Your episode really laid out where and how the front office core group came together. It's such a wonderful story. Why did people (looking at you, Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman) lay scorn on the choice of Campbell as coach and question his pedigree?? His pedigree was quite clearly strong and on display. I'm glad he's proved them all wrong.
I dont think Brad or Dan could walk in a bar in Michigan and pay for their own beer. We love those guys.
When Detroit love you, they really love you huh? I love the city culture!
It’s been said that Dan talked to fans and everyday people in the Detroit area to get a sense of who they were and looked for players with that kind of grit
Thank you so much for your management and your organization! We love the Lions! I live in NC!
Thank you and I'm happy for you. Blessings!
The irony coming from Dan Campbell's press conference, he is doing exactly what he promised.
I just knowwwww they’re gonna be playing that presser in the last meeting before the Super Bowl
Thanks for this video, from a fan from 1960!
Go Lions❤
Before Sheila took over I was praying the FORDS would sell the LIONS! I'm 53 years old... 46-47 years of that I've been a LIONS FAN. When I saw Dan Campbells 1st news interview, I was immediately on board. Holmes, Campbell along with upper management, assistant coaches, scouts and trainers have put together not just a great team, but a Legacy! Before they draft players they interview, test and analyze every aspect of their game, attitude and life on and off the field! If they don't meet their ideas of a coachable, smart, athletic and grit driven player and person, they don't want you... I've always loved my LIONS, but now, I actually like them again!
Everything said here is accurate; the sports pundits don’t understand the new Lions culture. So, they always question the Lions ability to prevail.
Yes, it is real! Congrats to you and thank you for your comments!
2020 was greatest year ever! Go Lions!!!
Campbell and Holmes started 4-19-1 and have gone 36-10 (playoffs incl) since. That's insane
That's grit
Good stuff, my guy 👍
Thank you so much!
Cool video. Keep making them
Thank so much for the encouragement!! I hope you have an outstanding day!
Everybody forgets Chris Spielman’s role in the rebuild!
You are 100 percent correct!!!
Patricia built the offensive line. He contributed. He was a offensive lineman so he knew.
Great piece on our Leadership
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Everyone seems to forget about chris spielman he was the one that advised sheila with the hiring of these two men Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell
I didn't mention him. Maybe I should do a piece on him. You are right!
The key is that Sheila was given control and stepped up, got rid of the right people and then knew to pick Brad Holmes. Who informed her? Was she already knowledgeable of football people who know coaching and picking athletic talent. Was it Chris Spielman? From the outside football fans knew Brad Holmes's had a prosperous history with the Rams. Us Detroit Lions fans didn't have any confidence in the Lions organization at that time to pick management personnel after letting Caldwell go as coach and choosing M. Patricia. She and Brad arranged letting M. Stafford go to the Rams getting Goff along with 1st round draft picks versus him walking without the Lions getting anything. Maybe the plan was to choose Brad Holmes' to then do this deal and move the Lions forward. I give her a lotta credit for Our Lions good fortune.
Please look into Mike Disner as well. I believe he found Brad Holmes. I believe he is responsible for mending fences with Calvin.
While Rod Wood is the best porn name for any NFL executive, he was president through quinntricia. I hope that Disner gets Rod's job soon. He deserves it.
William Clay Ford could have cared less about the Lions: business yes, success no.....
Did you Go To Highland Park High? You look soooo familiar.
No, it is not me but I heard Iook like a lot of people. I hear this often. Thank you for checking out the video!
Thanks for watching the video and no I didn't go to Highland Park. I must have a few look alikes out here! LOL
Damn did he say that before he did it because they just look like what he did I would be surprised is Detroit a dynasty as a matter of fact I never see a team look so much better than the NFL and so short of a Time and he's got a young team you think they will get better with time
