Lions are such a cool team, much love from a chargers fan!

[@doseofdion2.0fan74]

Not gonna lie I cried when he cried. You see the passion he has. And the energy he has is so contagious.

[@Virgoanmanchild]

Yes I am choked up. I am excited let's show our support for him and Stafford and team!!!

[@trevorgreen2583]

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!!!

[@tezwoodard8647]

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 💪🏿💪🏿

[@jockamelly]

Rooting so hard for this guy! Media is annoying by taking his "kneecaps" clip out of context and ragging on him.

[@Injoeburrowwetrust]

He’s one of my favorite nfl headcoaches, and he did keep his promise of making them proud👍

[@HamztaZ]

“Im going to make y’all proud” man of his words

[@grantwhite4201]

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

[@InvincibleMegaBeast]

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.

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!!

Quinntricia!!! LMAO!!!!!! love it

[@spencer8699]

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..

[@nickreggiardo9678]

I am seriously a lions fan now. I hope he does well.

[@TheLuapkralc]

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.

[@RogueBlackOp]

Came at a good time. Shiela has been a great owner and has made really great decisions. Welcome to the Lions Den

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.

[@jackstebner7816]

Not going to lie. I wanted the browns to lose so we wouldn't look so bad.

[@thenickfoxx]

@@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.

Thank you for your blessings! It means a lot to us!

[@1974lionsfan]

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

[@dragondrew2000]

He played on the 0-16 team. He knows the pain of the Lions.

[@ghowardgilbert2281]

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.
