Detroit Lions hire Saints TE Coach Dan Campbell

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

I'm of the mindset that Brad Holmes has had one of the best three year stretches ever for a general manager. He did what Dame Dash couldn't do and that's make another Hov in moving from Hockenson to LaPorta in addition to all of the other picks he's made. Dan Campbell still gets in his way at times but we are so talented now, we can overcome miscues that would have killed us in the past.

Holmes is #1 on the totem pole but they aren't in the NFC Championship Game is Campbell is a bum head coach. The culture he's established is real.

Holmes has already earned a lifetime contract as far as I'm concerned though.

Man I wish Dan all the success but what did all that bravado do for the Saints the last four years in the playoffs? And I'm suppose to believe it will work on the LIONS?!

Football gods saw this and punished me with Dennis Allen

Dan Campbell must be a whole riot when he motivates his team to beat their opponents

"Leader of Men" is basically Stone Cold Steve Austin with hair

I agree. The thing about Campbell is he’s really smart and dedicated to player development. Drafting good players is important but you need a coaching staff capable of teaching them and getting them reps. These guys get better year to year. Even guys who started out shaky end up making plays later. That’s certainly about talent evaluation but coaching plays a huge role too.

You can also tell these guys go into the off-season with clear goals on how to get better because Holmes and Campbell are so honest with guys. These rookies will be even better next season. They’re gonna be working. You know who won’t be working this off-season? Jalen Carter.

Calling it now. Lions won’t win more than 10-12 games total in the 3 years he’ll be HC. The interview process for him had to have been a formality instead of something taken seriously

I'll eat crow. Did way better than I thought he would. Still surprised how many brothas he's given a coaching shot being an Aggie and all

Dan Gamble would have motivated Carter. His work ethic is contagious.

One of them came. Tore his pectoral and rushed to get back in an irregular amount of time to play for that leader of men. He came back early.

CJGJ signed a one tear deal. He had to show he was back to get his payday this offseason

They benched and then cut Buggs for being lazy/out of shape apparently

 

[King Poetic]

With Campbell u need to see if he doesn’t make any boneheaded decisions that could back fire against a good team like San Francisco

Don’t try to fake punt at your own 20

Don’t go for 2 when u get a penalty and get pushed back to the 10 yard line

Further proof that as a HC, being a leader of men and motivator is more important than being a "offensive genius". GMs have gotten so lazy, all they do is look on nfl.com at best offensive teams in NFL and then create their list of hot candidates to go after.
