Dan cambell has that rugby league mentality. It’s about aggression. All out aggression. Safety first loses constantly. Betting the house on 22 comes up winning 6/10

[@Adri_Unsung]

All out aggression, but he knows how injuries can derail your career and life so him and Brad have built the team with insane depth so that everyone can heal when they need to. They also apparently hired a genius doctor as the head trainer so get them back to full health quicker than anyone else could. It’s a genius system

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

I think he’s going to eventually influence other coaches into taking risks more often. Analytics show that going for it on 4th/going for 2 is usually the better option. In the long run, it leads to more points. But in the short run, it can get you fired so coaches are afraid to try it.

[@FullTimeGump]

[@Nichrysalis]

Calculated aggression would be the best way to describe it. They're not just aggressive, they're cold and cunning about how they execute that aggression.

[@jonjones5092]

Yeah, the thing is it's DEFINITELY still about winning. The Lions go for it a little bit more often than analytics at large would recommend in a league where coaches are too scared to go for it as often as they should, and so it looks insane, but it's just good football. Extremely fun to watch too, I love this team.

[@philly_sports1558]

I would be pissed right now. You need to get rid of that clown.

[@raymondwhittenberg3873]

Dan has an unwavering passion and belief in his players and that’s why I love him as our coach so much. He’s honest, when says he’s gonna do something he does it. Call it ballsy, or reckless or just shear confidence in his guys. He’s completely revitalized an organization and fanbase and if he gets the thing done in the near future he will probably ascend to god status in the city of Detroit. When I heard his first press conference I could feel the passion. I wished I could have been a player cause I felt like I would run at anything with reckless abandon for that man. I felt his tenure would either be a fun disaster or the best coach in team history with no in between. It seems my later prediction is closer to reality and I’m so happy it is. I only pray that this 49ers game is close in crunch time because his mentality will completely break Shanahan. Dan has a knack for the psychology of a person, be it his own players or an opposing decision maker. It’s beautiful to watch. Also, his path is only slightly weird but it feels like everyone forgets about his interim stint in Miami when he went 5-7. Raw but had potential. His extra maturation time in New Orleans as the TE/assistant head coach under Payton seemed to do wonders. And he continues to grow and improve every year here too.

[@RedAndTheCompany567]

Since I'm a native of the region and my father was a forever Lions fan until he passed before I graduated primary school, I can you that the 3 key difference makers of the Detroit Lions is: 1. Coach Dan Campbell (he came back to a team he loved and felt he needed to prove to everyone exactly what he knew that no one else did. He has more heart than anyone in that franchise. He is beyond extraordinary b/c he built this team from the ground up... literally); 2. the new Rockies came in and made the team gel together so well (namely Gibbs, Hutchinson and Moseley) and Jared Goff (he looked inside himself and pulled out a man that was needed to lead this team and as a result, he got his own confidence restored, he has found where he fits and he magnificent). Let's go LIONS🦁💙 LETS GOOOO🔥🔥🔥

[@stokes7227]

Dan was the interim head coach of the dolphins his last year there after week 4 and went 5-7, so he wasn’t completely inexperienced before Detroit

[@austinarmstrong9729]

As a dolphins fan I miss him , he didn’t do great but he turned the team in a new direction

Yep, put a huge chip on our shoulders, and the cowboys caught some karma from the pack, still giving us 2 home games.

Not enough credit is given for the committee that Sheila Ford Hamp put together to hire a new head coach resulting in Dan Campbell. I forget who all was a part of it but I know Chris Spielman was one of them. They were looking for a guy that was anti Patricia. Not an X's and O's guy but a motivator. They knocked it out of the damn park.

[@jonathanshaffer6757]

The 2021 season may have been bad, but it had been one of my favorite seasons in my lifetime, almost every game was close and most importantly, the team showed a lot of fight. Just patricia being gone and having a fun coach that cared made a huge difference.

Everybody has this all wrong. The Lions sucked because William Clay Ford sucked as an owner. Even with little things like not having Team Cheerleaders. Once Sheila Hamp took over as owner, the first thing she did was to fire Tom Lewand and Martin Mayhew. Then when she became principal owner, she fired Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia. The rest is history.

[@joejonas3684]

This aged well…. It is one thing to be aggressive which I don’t mind. It’s another to be careless with the situation you are in, and Dan Campbell demonstrated the careless side well. To go for it not once but twice. Especially in a situation to be able to tie the game in the 4th quarter with not a ton of time left is careless
