EXCELLENT interview with the walking-legend MCDC. I love Campbell on:
What a Detroit Lion is: “…a roster of guys that think about the game like I did, detailed, love the grind, but man they have talent.”
Who inspired him to keep going when the team was 4-19-1: “Coach Parcells, though we might not directly talk, I’d get a text from him. Coach Payton…”
Building around Goff: “We really wanted to expand his horizons and force it all on him. Gave him ownership and confidence to evolve really…”
Jamal Williams: “Jamal Williams will always be near and dear to my heart but…”
The Hype-train: “Who won the division last year, MN. And who has won it most years before that, GB. Those are the kings in the conference and oh btw, we didn’t even make the playoffs last year…”
Bingo! We haven’t done anything yet. Glad he embraces that. I think we surprised some teams last year, that aint happening this year. Gotta come ready to rock every week.
Q. How does that guy who loved to go to biker bars ever become a head coach, did you think that at the time?
Forget the HC question, here is a nugget on DC I hadn’t heard before…loves to go to biker bars? Not surprised, but there has to be some good stories there.
