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

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..

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]

Give me a coach with a passion for winning not just for himself but for the city and I'm sold. Been rocking with this team since '89, and Im hopeful again.

[@LivinhItUp]

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.

[@vishalrajan2343]

I’m a Browns fan and let me tell you how excited I am for these Lions fans. It all starts with a culture change, and that can be amplified by a great head coach. Wishing you guys all the best and put behind “Lions is Lions” 💯🔥

[@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!

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
