Can’t wait for this season to start. The most anticipated professional Detroit sports season ever. This city is on fire for this team and this coach. MCDC! Grit!

[@cgpapineau]

MCDC has a simply magnetic personality. The man is just so real and honest. I love that big smile. You can clearly tell that he and Jason shared some good times and are genuine friends. How utterly refreshing. As a fan, I want a Super Bowl so badly but I almost want it more for Dan, Brad, Sheila and the players who work so damn hard. I love players like Hutchinson and St. Brown who leave every ounce of their being on the field. I love the fact that Dan wanted to come here because he knew that the fans would go nuts for a winner. I guarantee you, the Lions will show up in KC and play their asses off. Ford Field will be an utter mad house this year. I simply can't wait! One Pride! Go Lions!

[@thomaswatkins3686]

Jesus you sound like you know nothing. The Lions literally couldn’t beg the top candidates to come to Detroit. Campbell was the only guy who took it. Nobody wanted him as a head coach. He is terrible. He has one one game through October each of the last 2 year. If the Lions start 0-2, which is a strong possibility, fans will see this team can’t win until they play bad teams tanking for draft position.

[@cgpapineau]

@thomaswatkins3686 Another guy from the "meathead" bandwagon. Please say you're a head coach of an opposing team on the Lions schedule this year. Somehow, I think that is not the case, as much as I would like to believe that is true. I don't think any NFL head coach or team is circling the Lions on their schedule as a day of rest. We'll see how it all pans out.

[@HeavyHittas23]

[@thewizardofoz511]

The people who don't root for the lions with their narrative it's usually because of Envy from the standpoint of wishing they had the type of coaching staff or special energy this team has created for themselves... Idk, I've always felt like if you're a fan of Underdog movies than how do you not route for the Lions??!.. they're a live Underdog movie in itself especially since Dan Campbell has arrived with his coaching staff.. I really just don't understand where the hate from some outside fans come from..

[@jimdavidson7771]

Despite only one playoff game win in the 50 years I've been watching the Lions, I still drink the entire Kool-Aid pitcher full of hope every September. Lions fans have been waiting for this for decades. We need this. Michigan needs this. And hitching the wagon to a coach like Campbell and the staff he has assembled, seems to have put our Lions on the right path to the playoffs. If not, I'm afraid it might literally crush my soul.

Lions HC Dan Campbell is THE best man for this time in there franchise history. As a Lifelong Detroit Lions fan I remember when Campbell played. He was high powered and always positive. I've never missed a Coach Campbell interview and I'm always impressed by his attention to details. He talks about his players, whether they are a star, rookie, special teams with a positive description. The Lions are surely taking on a team persona that's 100percent their HC Dan Campbell. I'm certain that The Lions will compete and play hard in every game.

As a Lions fan for my entire 35 years of being alive. I believe in Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell. We probably won't win a championship anytime soon. But, at least with those two leading the charge, I finally feel like there is a chance to be more than just the worst team in the North. I also believe that we have a chance to really show how good Brad Holmes is at building a team... I hated trading Swift, but I get it.... He couldn't stay healthy. It's like when your ex showed up home at 12 am drunk as fuck like every Saturday night... Enough is enough.
