Dan Campbell Press Conference | January 7, 2025

[@seoul313]

Thank you Chris Spielman for bringing this man to Detroit !

[@deymondtalbot7492]

I'm a big fan of chris spellman... His heart is pure . maybe the best move the Ford family made.

[@mike9387]

I Hope the coaches stay put and build a dynasty players included

[@Dallasvisionss]

We can dream

[@MelissaDeSota]

Amen!!

[@Frank_Alexander]

Extremely doubtful. They will make great leaders as head coach

[@AyoooKp]

Imagine the 30 for 30 they would make about us😮‍💨

[@mvanluven78]

​@@Frank_Alexandertheir bag isn't going anywhere if they choose to stay. If we win a SB they are worth that much more. All it takes is one bad 1st season as head coach and thats it. MCDC was special. It won't happen again. That could be a promise. If i were either of them I'd ride out until the wheels fall off.

[@Clintoniumer]

I can’t express enough gratitude for Dan Campbell. A true genuine leader of men

[@101less]

We love AG and Ben... hope they stay and help us keep a dynasty alive. This year made it crystal clear that AG is super creative, and knows how to treat his men to really bring out their best. Teambuilder extraordinare!

[@robertbrown380]

This man is incredible. That riff on AG sends a message to ALL good coaches…this dude is behind you if you earn it.

I'm so relieved to have gotten the bye. Dan seems refreshed already, joking around and not just running off the podium. Must be so nice to not have to practice, prep, and install for once! Week 5 byes are BS, but these guys won 15 games anyway. ENJOY the rest!!

Dan is such a stand up guy litterallyputting a spotlight on his coaches so they can move up and push for their dreams and asperations of being a head coach, hes such an awsome coach and human hes a genuin good guy

[@Prose313]

41 years...havent missed a min of game time in over 25 years....in my younger years...I went through a couple TVs.....so much misery...migraine headaches every game day for decades....actually started taking ibuprofen for headaches before game days....I always thought If Detroit started winning I'd be cheering my butt off.....all i do is soak it in and sit almost emotionless....every once in a while my fist pumps into the air....I am so happy it's weird but yet I just enjoy no reason to complain? I cant explain it....just feels surreal. I never been to an actual game...maybe one day.....i enjoy the solitude at home and seeing every detail on the television....i never been able to drink or have a talking buddy around...i always want to understand everything on every snap...but i really want to feel what its like one day. GO LIONS. BORN BLEEDING HONOLULU BLUE.

Since 1989 here! know exactly what you're sayin, me I've always gone into every game as if winning the game was the only option, even the 0-16 season. usually took me until Wednesday to get over a loss lol. all I can say is what an unbelievable feeling to the Soul it feels with every play to be Winners! I've always believed everything would align one day and here we are. True GRIT! True Winners! Go Lions! God Bless

[@josephkodaj5067]

As a transplant from out west(formally a 49r's fan), I've never had As much faith in the Lions as I do now! Dan Campbell has shown that in his short tenure as coach that it is possible to turn a team around. His players love him! His fans love him, and I for one am a newfound fan of the Detroit Lions! These are certainly not your Daddy's Lions!

[@borisbadenov8957]

I'm a former Vikings fan. Been rooting for Detroit the last 15 years.

[@montarctica]

I became a lions fan after the 49ers traded Montana, (I’m from Montana) then I bet my uncle $5 on a thanksgiving and the Lions got me the W. Been a fan ever since.

[@YaBoyBTrue]

every time i hear dan talk it amazes me how people thought or even still think he's a meathead. He's so intelligent its crazy

[@RogueStatusQVX]

I hope you all as well as me, appreciate this time that we have to truly watch the best Lions team top to bottom that has ever taken the field representing Detroit. Reminds me of the 90s- early 2000s Red Wings. It's special 💙💙

[@lysergicpillamyd483]

Even if we don't win it all, this will go down as the greatest season in our team's history and I'm glad I'm alive for it.

[@veronicafoley7492]

Dan Campbell is the Man💙🦁💙 He so deserves Coach of The Year. There is talk about AG going to the Hers and Ben possibly to Chicago…if so, they richly deserve the opportunity and Dan would be the first to encourage and congratulate them. That’s just the kind of Coach and Man he is 💙🦁💙

[@patbeach9134]

Please keep the coaches

[@stonewal316]

Win the games first lol

[@arthurfonzarelli9828]

Glenn is as good as gone but you have to accept the facts this is what happens when teams win at this level they lose their assistance. Look on the bright side though this is team and organization is way stronger than a couple assistant coaches. They will be replaced in this team will continue to win because the pieces are all placed now and be assured if something screws up or the person they hire isn't capable they will quickly replace them and find another Ben Johnson and Eric Glenn it's inevitable that's how good these guys at the top are at their jobs

[@YogiBear13]

They gotta open up that check book just to even have a chance to keep the coordinators.

[@1andrew123]

They're gone, man

[@grantprice3]

Sadly most likely up to the coaches not the team. No way we will pay them enough money if they want head coach status

[@joshegan8666]

I truly believe the dynasty is already here. Lets go lions. I actually feel like we have 4-5 head coaches on this team. this coaching staff is absolutely stacked.

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

I trust Dan and Brad to bring in or promote the right guys if we do lose any of our coordinators, I'm like everyone else and don't want to lose anyone but I feel we will be fine no matter what happens.

[@arthurfonzarelli9828]

100%. People need to relax these guys were not even coordinators when he hired them the first time so they're way ahead of the game going into the next tire and it's likely they're grooming a guy in house right now

[@spuggD]

Normalising 4th down as just another down. Let's go Lions!

[@paulmcgeechan8503]

I’ve followed a lot of different sports over a lifetime, and usually there is nothing interesting or new in a coach’s interview. I could listen to Dan Campbell talk all day- he’s one of a kind and it’s easy to see why he is having so much success. Anybody would give anything to be part of his team. Nothing but a cool, respectful guy.

[@bammbamm1226]

I know it’s wishful thinking we will have the same coaching staff next year. These guys have to do what’s best for their families and professionally. But I hope they know how much we love and appreciate them for what they’ve done for this team and city. Look forward to watching the super bowl come through Detroit and will keep my fingers cross we don’t lose any coach’s this off-season

I won't take back everything I ever said about Arron Glenn, but against Minnesota, he played a phenomenal defense. Phenomenal!!

[@arthurfonzarelli9828]

Well thank God you're not the one making any decisions about where this franchise has been going and where it's headed. We'll leave that to the professionals as they obviously decided a long time ago this guy knows way more than 99.99% of us in Campbell has his back cuz he knows that too

[@briangeboy1412]

@arthurfonzarelli9828 This statement isn't about decisions, i like Glenn. It's about a inconsistent defense. Like i said, it was phenomenal

[@billsmith8961]

@@briangeboy1412 I’ve always noted he didn’t have the firepower like the offense has had. He had to develop a lot of these guys first while having vets fill in roles. Hes not scared and has conviction. It may not work but his players will do everything they can do to get better bc he believes in them. I think he’s going to be a really good HC and if it’s on the Saints I believe he’d already would be the best HC in that division.

I hate to break it to you but you better get used to the fact that he's as good as gone. Be happy for the guy as he loves the city of New Orleans in the saints organization is a special place in his heart having worked there for so long.

Nah we need David Montgomery!!!

[@blovTV]

@ I just hope he’s good to go and won’t hold back Gibbs from playing lights out. I think Gibbs should still get most of the carries because of Monty’s injury. I say use Monty on 3rd and 1 or goal line situations most

[@susanbrown822]

Alarmed at the prospect of AG and Ben Johnson being poached away for other opportunities, but have to applaud Dan for being an upstanding guy and promoting their amazing success. Both coordinators have done an incredible job and deserve advancement, but doubt they'll ever find at another location the unity that Dan, Brad, Aaron and Ben have established. The cameras have done a good job of capturing how much the 4 of them enjoy kicking ass at their demanding jobs. Thank you to the fans creating the "electric" environment at Ford Field and making it difficult for the visiting teams.

[@jamesbroomfield7799]

I remember the last two years Me Myself and many other Lions fans were pretty hard on AG but we didn't sit back and realize or think about what AG has been doing with the Personnel he has especially this year. And we have to remember that he just started over there in Detroit a few years ago so you got to give somebody and anybody at least a solid year or two to get situated and get the field for it. And now that he has to feel for it he's able to make things happen with literally practice squad players feeling all these spots and I believe the Lions should have had at least three or four more sacks than they did the other night because I saw Minnesota getting away with serious holding at least a few times LOL whenever the offensive lineman is behind the defensive lineman and nearly has him in a Chokehold from behind to keep them from getting the quarterback that should be automatic holding. Once the defender passes the offensive lineman in the offensive lineman is behind the defender, if that offensive lineman pulls the defender back or puts his his arms in front of and around the defensive player or puts his arm around the defensive players neck like a Chokehold from behind, that should be an automatic holding penalty there's no reason offensive lineman should be pulling a defender back from behind and I saw Minnesota do that at least three times

[@janeknisely4383]

Our players needed to learn patience. AG was always right.

I think AG is going to get the Saints HC job and he deserves is and I’m gonna miss him. But I am also very happy we get two 3rd rd comp picks if he does become a head coach so that’s dope. I think Ben Johnson Stays another year. This offense should continue to get even better next year with Gibbs, Jamo, Sewell, Amon Ra and Laporta all having another year of growth.

[@TheDockDoctor69]

Dan Campbell said we'll see you in 2 weeks! I say we'll see you in 3 weeks, I want all 3 wild card teams to win so Minnesota can get a home game vs Washington in the Divisional Round, (Minnesota deserves a home game) We'll take Green Bay in the Divisional Round which we have all heard "its hard to beat a team 3 times in one year" Why? Because that third game is in the playoffs between 2 very good teams. Minnesota takes out Washington and Detroit take out Green Bay and we get a rematch. You think this game was big? That NFC Conference Championship Game would be the biggest ever!!

Nah we owe Washington for embarrassing us in 83 and 92 with the 2 greatest rb’s in franchise history.
