Watching this in 2025 is crazy to see how accurate Dan was with talking about where they were and what they were going to be. We have had some great couches in Detroit sports. Dan Campbell may be the best underrated hire that did more to transform a team in the history of Detroit.
To quote Pat McAfee "Motor City Dan Campbell is the most football guy in the history of football guys," and that is not a slight in any way. This guy cried when he walked into the practice facility. This guy threatened to bite off other teams' kneecaps in his opening presser. This guy calls out people on their bullshit. That's what I like in a head coach, great to have you Coach Campbell! #OnePride #WatchYourKneecaps
Let's see if he'll call out these damn refs too when they screw the Lions...heck if he did and he gets fined, if I'm the owner, I'd pay for all his fines.
If true...he need to call out the ownership BS that has been going on for 57 futile years.....it is all about the $$ and marketing, do not be fooled by this fraud who was just paid millions
I'm not going to call those stations out 97.1 The Ticket or anything like that but I think they'll be most of the problems we get because he gave folks so amped up babe there's no patience at all it's ridiculous!!
@@Virgoanmanchild those guys are always talking shit about every Detroit team. It would be nice to come across a radio station that actually lifts the teams up and shows actual support when our teams do good things.. instead they're just complete narcissists about everything lol.
I’m praying he succeeds because he seems like he wants to actually give it his all, unlike Quinntricia. I hope he can turn this team around for our sake too.
Patricia seemed to be a finger pointer and blame guys and have excuses and that’s literally the last thing coaches should be doing. It’s a win or loss type of game. Saying well we had a lot of work to do when we got here. Then saying players aren’t executing when their spots is just wrong. You don’t say that to the media about your players smh..
It is SO CRAZY how this guy delivered the goods. UNBELIEVABLE. One of the GREATEST jobs, turnarounds in the HISTORY of all sports EVER. Dan and Brad are the BEST. And they have done it with hard work and class 😎
Who was laughing at Dan? I think most people thought Dan would be someone who could help the team, but no one was sure if he was going to be enough to overcome the incompetence that is the Detroit Lions. I actually remember Detroit fans being very excited for him.
Who's here 3 years later...12-1...going into a tough game with the bills at home on Sunday. Everything he said has come to fruition. This man deserves a statue.
Considering this season has been riddled with injuries & they keep pushing is nothing short of resilient. I believe even better days are ahead for the Detroit Lions. Also Brad Holmes deserves praise for bringing quality players who have bought into the program. Best HC & GM hands down.
A head coach actually brought to tears by walking into a practice facility! You can tell how much this job means to him. Love his passion. Can't wait to see what he can bring to this organization. The fans of this team deserve a winner. Let's get it done! !!
Give me a coach with a passion for winning not just for himself but for the city and I'm sold. Been rocking with this team since '89, and Im hopeful again.
And look where you are now. “A leader of men” is truly what he is compared to the last guy who couldn’t do a burpee with the entire team, or respectfully answer a question and not look like a prick with a pencil in his ear. This is a head coach.
I feel ya! I'm buying into this more than anything I can remember falling for in the past haha. At the very least, I think he'll be aggressive and play to win, which at the end of the day is all I ask for as a fan.
I’m not even a Lions fan, but Dan Campbell makes me root for them! If only all head coaches in the NFL were like that. He reminds me of legendary coaches like Jimmy Johnson, Vince Lombardi! I truly believe he’ll get a SB with Detroit.
@Steelerz Reign Supreme not hard to make us look better tho but we say that every year so let’s just see what’s gonna happen I hope the Lions stop lioning around
I’m a Browns fan and let me tell you how excited I am for these Lions fans. It all starts with a culture change, and that can be amplified by a great head coach. Wishing you guys all the best and put behind “Lions is Lions” 💯🔥
@@jackstebner7816 Well atleast the Browns had a good coach all season in Stefanski. If Patricia was fired during the bye week it would have put Bev and the Lions in a better position to salvage the season. The firing happened too late in the season unfortunately 😪. The Browns are actually pretty good this year too though lol.
This jas me hyped I mean this is the type of coach the players fight for. He has played before. He knows the fans. Understands our pain and even said that were tired of hearing how many games were gonna win. This dude is a motivater he got the whole NFL watching him nowb
Ive been doing this same lions restart every 4 yrs for all of my 46 yrs and its always the same! Its the gloomy ass city where there is nothing happening that beats guys down.. who in thwir right mind wud choose Detroit over ANY team in Florida or Cali? Im as hardcore lion as it gets, even have that leaping lion tattooed on my arm, im happy for Coach Campbell but until we start winning its hard ro get excited, this team has beat the passion for football right out of me the last few yrs! I hope hes the guy, not happy about his DC choice already but ill still be rooting for him and the team but ill believe we CAN win when we actually win
When Dan did that press conference interview with the knee cap references the entire sports world cringed at oh boy …. That’s a head coach? I instantly knew there was something different about Dan. Not many people who reach lofty heights of a professional career like he has and still wears his heart on his sleeve. You want that spirit in a leader. Thankfully he’s got the football acumen to go with the his lion sized heart. Skill and leadership!
How could you not get excited with Coach Campbell's enthusiasm. The energy at his presser was incredible. We support you. Lions Pride / One Pride! Feel the Roar! Go Lions
I’m watching this for the second time and we are in year 3, sitting 4-1 and in sole possession of the top spot in the NFC North so far. I can’t tell you how much this video resonates with how this team plays right now. Let’s stay the course!! #GoLions #OnePride
Man I feel this guy is awesome and when he started to get emotional 😢 I was feeling it too so if anything we are starting out with a good foot forward let's do this damn thing boys
Today was the first time I saw this. I teared up when Dan was crying when he came into the practice field. So much passion. I also notice how much he's aged in 3 years. Man, he's giving his heart and soul to this team. I pray he's rewarded with a Super Bowl win soon....the year would be nice.
The passion is off the charts with this guy! The players are gunna buy in and how could you not?? And if you don't buy in ... you'll stand out... and be shipped out of town
Now thats a coach! You cant help but want to give it your all when you have a coach like that who has been in the trenches and ain't afraid to go back.
Man when he cried my eyes started sweating! See his passion and happy to be in Detroit was awesome. Teams gonna have to start wearing steel knee plates when they play us 😂
Watching this after what they're acomplishing right now is awesome. They went to the NFCCG last year after 12 wins in the regular season and here they are, 12-1 going against a great Buffalo team that most of the NFL is hoping to be the superbowl matchup. Not a Lions fan but seeing stuff like this is incredible. I am blessed to be a fan in the sports world.
I am PUMPED for Detroit Lion's football. I can't WAIT for OTA's and training camp to see which direction Coach is gonna lead the way towards. Roar. Restore the Roar! Go Lion's!
wow...sitting here when were 4-1 coming off the win against the panthers and truly believing in what DC and BH have done is quite amazing. Seeing DC tear up at the fact that he got the opportunity for the job means he really is pouring his heart into this team
We need someone like that because our past couple of coaches didn’t challenge plays enough which would have actually won us more games. Dan can do great work here we just have to wait and see.
He’s the type of Lions coach that I’ve been waiting for since seeing my first Lions game in 1964. A grinder, totally focused on building a team of grit and toughness with an on-field discipline that shows in every game. I absolutely love this team which MCDC and that awesome mastermind Brad Holmes have built. Thank you Sheila Hamp and Chris Spielman for bringing home a new era of Lions football.
Here they are, 4 years later, 6-1, leading their division, and utterly humiliating nearly every team they've faced so far, its like the mercy rule was removed from their vocabulary, they're hungry, and looking to feast
Three years later, and it's even more true now than it was then. Coach Campbell said that the Lions were going to take on the personality of the city of Detroit, but something else has also happened: the team has taken on the personality of it's coach too!
We finally have a great Head Coach, great GM and Chris Spielman as well! These guys know and love football. I have never seen a Lions team do such a beatdown as they did on Dallas yesterday. WOW! Go Lions!
Can we just get some applause for Sheila letting his vision take hold? So many owners want to jump a coach before they even have time to build. MC-DC is turning all of us into Lions fans for the post season if our teams won't be in the dance.
I’m here watching this after their 2022 season. Not a fan of Detroit but experiencing their season this year was phenomenal. Really looking forward to next year and hopefully seeing them in the playoffs.
Man you feel the energy and how anxious and excited he is to get to work! I hope we bring in Anthony Lynn or Bevel back for OC. I think some former head coaching experience should be added to this staff
3-13-1
9-8
12-5, two playoff wins
15-2, No. 1 seed, legit Super Bowl contender
You've made Detroit proud, coach!
💯💯!!!
"I'm gonna make y'all proud" That you have, Dan. That you have.

Lions are such a cool team, much love from a chargers fan!
He corrected that statement immediately…. He said WE are going to this dude will be a lion legend

Not gonna lie I cried when he cried. You see the passion he has. And the energy he has is so contagious.
Yes I am choked up. I am excited let's show our support for him and Stafford and team!!!
Me too! It’s so exciting to have a guy here that just wants to be here!!! He’s so humble and I wish the absolute best for him and the program
Awesome!!!
Same here! You can feel the passion he has and the hunger in his voice! 2021 Its time to turn the tide! Let’s go baby 💪🏿💪🏿
Rooting so hard for this guy! Media is annoying by taking his "kneecaps" clip out of context and ragging on him.
He’s one of my favorite nfl headcoaches, and he did keep his promise of making them proud👍

He and Goff win a Super Bowl and they will.
Considering this season has been riddled with injuries & they keep pushing is nothing short of resilient. I believe even better days are ahead for the Detroit Lions. Also Brad Holmes deserves praise for bringing quality players who have bought into the program. Best HC & GM hands down.
We good baby
15-2 top seed playoff berth and a first round bye!
49er fan who is a fan of this coach. Great pick Detroit.
Just watching everyone else reaction to his amazing press conference " were gonna Bite a knee cap off" got me pumped even bears fans like him
“I just need a pet lion 🦁 to walk up and down the halls” 😂😂

@Steelerz Reign Supreme not hard to make us look better tho but we say that every year so let’s just see what’s gonna happen I hope the Lions stop lioning around
@Steelerz Reign Supreme There's only six other teams that think otherwise
All roads run through Detroit in the north. Guess it all worked out..
pretty good so far
Well that playoff win should shut up the haters
That one dislike is from Matt Patricia burner accounts 😂😂😂
😭😂
I’m not even from Detroit, or even a Lions fan really, but I’m excited about this! I’ll be rooting for the Lions next season!
D@#$%! When we win the Super Bowl I will play this over and over and over again. I'm been waiting so long forever for this. LET'S GO. D
