It’s Time I Address the Dan Campbell Tweet

Detroit Lions' fans have been flooding my mentions for weeks because of a tweet I posted three years ago about their current coach Dan Campbell. Don’t worry I’ll show you that tweet in a minute and explain.
But fuck it I’m bothered because there was a really big point that some Lions fans. And the non-lions fans who just wanted to be in the mix so obviously missed.
Some backstory: I’m from Detroit. Born and raised. Not suburban Detroit, but Detroit Detroit.
I’m a fan of every Detroit team except … the Detroit Lions. Listen, if you ask my husband … a diehard Detroit lions fan who bleeds Honolulu blue .. This is by far my worst trait. Now I don’t root against the Lions… unless they’re playing my team … because I have so many friends and family members who are Lions fans. And just because they’re winning … it would feel disingenuous at this point for me to just jump on the Lions bandwagon. I ain’t been through the struggle with y’all so i don’t have a right to enjoy the success.

Something that I think could be added onto this is the fact that the Lions hired a black General Manager in Brad Holmes, as well as the fact that Dan Campbell brought in several people to his coaching staff who were black too, one of which looks to potentially soon be a HC candidate of his own in Aaron Glenn. The Detroit Lions are absolutely giving opportunities for blacks on their staff, and how they've succeeded as a team shows just how effective they've been.

You left out where Campbell was the assistant head coach behind Sean Payton for 4 years. Yes, he was the tight ends coach also, but he also had lead administrative responsibilities, which obviously lead to him getting the job with Detroit. As for EB not getting a head coaching job, the only guess is his interviews are either really bad, or he isnt behind the scenes seen as a "leader of men" like Campbell is. Other black coaches are getting opportunities, Bienemy not getting one year after year speaks volumes on him personally, not black coaches.

[@jman1562001]

I think with regard to bienemy there was questions of who was really calling the plays at KC. A good coordinator does not necessarily make a good head coach. The technical stuff matters as much as the leader of men. It's an intangible that does not show up directly on the score sheet but is very important to team dynamics. Black coaches have to walk a fine line if they are not in organization where they were groomed into the position. Plus it's the relationship with ownership that affords some coaches more leeway.

[@brtreete4525]

@@jman1562001 there we go moving the goal post again! Andy Reid on many occasions has made it quite clear that Eric was the one drawing up the plays and calling the place of course in consultation with Andy but he did the exact same thing with the two white coordinators before him that will hired and Matt Nagy bombed in Chicago.

The problem is that you did the exact same thing you’re fighting against. You judged a book by its cover. You made a snap judgment based solely on a press conference and then tweeted. Were you alone in your assessment? No. Was it profiling? Yes. What I agree with is the need to fight for more diversity in coaching and leadership hires. I’m just disappointed that a person fighting so hard to make that point fails to see the error of her own ways. You watched the press conference and concluded he’s a meathead, so he must be dumb and incapable because you looked at him through the lens of the typical hire: a traditionally trained, articulate coach who talks in refined cliches with the standard, coaching experience and background. Profiling right back at you. You judged a book by its cover. Looking more deeply at atypical hires (Campbell, Deion, etc) with an open mind is fighting the status quo. And that, as with minority representation, is really what’s worth fighting for.

[@MCKBeats]

Black coaches and "unconventional" coaches like Dan are two very different things. Judging someone for their philosophy, motivational tactics, etc is part of the coaching hire analysis, but judging people FOR THEIR SKIN is entirely different man.

Lions hired Brad Holmes, who had no experience as GM, over several candidates with more experience. While it is possible that race played a part, never once have you entertained the thought that just maybe Dan was who fit the new image. Many of their hires have a connection to Michigan. He played for the Lions during the 0-16 season, so he knew the team and culture, and was known as a spark plug in the locker room. He was widely loved by the players around him. The Lions have tried traditional coaches, and look at where it has gotten them. I can at least have some respect for you for double downing on your animosity. I agree it is easier being a 49ers fan.

[@orlandobrown8190]

This is a little facetious. Brad Holmes was a scout for the LA Rams in some capacity for nearly two decades. By the end of his tenure there he had worked his way up to the director of college scouting working directly under Les Sneed. It was clear to anyone who followed the NFL that Brad Holmes was going to get an opportunity sooner or later. He was a finalist for the GM position with the Atlanta Falcons. He was the individual that scouted Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp, and Jared Goff. I love Dan Campbell but had the Lions not hired him he'd probably still be looking for a job today.

@ecalebw nobody "deserves". If by winning was the case, Bill Belichick should have been the first hire for a HC position. Eric Bienemy has something going on that in 5 hiring sessions, nobody has touched him. Nothing to do with his successes as a coordinator or coach, there is simply something else going on. Bienemy has interviewed at only Washington. He was the OC, and like you said, he turned around Sam Howell. But Raheem Morris interviewed with the Seahawks, Falcons, and Commanders. Aaron Glenn interviewed with the Chargers, Commanders, Titans, and the Falcons. Two other black coaches with less success than Bienemy got way more interviews. It tells me like I said before, it's something about Bienemy himself, and not him being black. Hell, the rumor is that they are waiting to announce Ben Johnson as the Commanders pick until the Lions lose or win it all. Bienemy has had way more success overall than Johnson, but they'd bring in a guy from the outside over their own? Something about him, nothing else.

This makes your tweet more baffling. DC used to play for the Lions. Is it possible the Lions ownership was like "we want a head coach with coaching experience AND ties to the Detroit Lions." That likely narrowed down the prospects quite a bit. With the Lions having a black GM, a black defensive coordinator, and recently having Jim Caldwell as a head coach, it's established that the Lions organization isn't racist. So the NFL is? But then you go on to cite the Patriots hiring Mayo. Buccaneers have Todd Bowles. Whatever you're being called on Twitter seems accurate.

[@timtebowsleftarm5368]

Jemele, you nail so much of this…that it’s not about Dan Campbell himself, but the wrongs of the process and those who control it. Just a correction: You said Jeff Saturday was “the first head coach ever hired without college or NFL head coaching experience.” Vince Lombardi. Never had a college or pro head coaching job until the Packers hired him in 1959. Though the systemic racism Blacks have endured in America makes anti-Italian-ism pale in comparison at a macro and most micro levels, Lombardi endured having NFL and college teams refuse to hire him for years, because as he put it, “my name ends in a vowel.” If you could fast-forward a non-minority coach from the past to today who gets what you’re describing, it’s Lombardi.

Outstanding video post, thanks for posting and sharing. To keep my reply succinct and on message. I will give my reply in 3 to 4 parts. The intro to which is about you and the City of Detroit. Intro: It's an honor to know that you are a Detroit, MI USA native and that you have come so far. I appreciated the areas you mentioned because I grew up not too far from them. In fact, the new Local Carpenters and Millrights Headquarters is on the old grounds of Tappen Elementary. Where I believed you mentioned Beaubien Middle School and Mumford High School. During my time at Wayne State Step Program summer job in 1994. I had a lady (I forgot her name) who was trying to recruit me to Mumford. Outside of there and circular recruitment to go to Cody High School. I ended up going to Murray-Wright because of the records transport. Which means Detroit Public Schools send your records to the neighboring school. Which for me meant Pelhman Magnet Middle School to Murray-Wright High School. Mind you I wasn't crazy about going there. A friend of mine was going to Cranbrook and that peaked my interest. Unfortunately I found out two things above all others. They were too expensive and I was "poe folk." It's great to have you and Mrs. Shaun Robinson to correspond with in that you both illuminate the potential and possibilities of what a Detroiter can do. So I thank you both for that.

Yeah and I felt that too after the dolphins coach in 2019 but she was playing victim and let's be honest, No one comments something like this is who black coaches are losing opportunities to and say the lions aren't racist or Dan Campbell is a bad coach. The problem I have with her isn't her saying she's worried there's less opportunities like what Dan Campbell have that black coaches don't the problem is that she was wrong just like Vincent was and refuses to apologize bc she's stubborn and always wants to be right which is one of the reasons most ppl can't stand black women. Dgmw there are black women who are great and show respect like Meagan good and bianca Blair but then u have black women like her who wants to have this dynamic of I'm not wrong ur wrong type feel. She should apologize for what she said and how she said it and apologize for thinking it's only white ppl bc I'm a black guy and a Detroit lions fan and I live in New Jersey but one thing I will never say out of my mouth is look at the giants and jets season this is who black ppl loses opportunities to. No I will mention how bad the team is playing or saying they need to have a good hc and comment things like The NFL teams need to hire some more black coaches but good coaches like Mike Tomlin.

I asked her why one day & she said she’d never had a friend w long blond hair she felt close enough to, one to say… let me feel it. While at her house w holidays coming up, she was mortified when her mom said she’d never had a white person in her house. I laughed… could tell my friend was upset. I let her know it’s fine. I told her mom not to apologize when my friend wanted her to. We were 19… then her mom asked if she could ask me questions, about white people. She ended up asking questions that made me realize that just a zip code away, people can live in completely different worlds. Some are afraid to branch out, some embrace it. She asked if we really ate canned foods for Thanksgiving. I laughed, said not at my house. Apparently that was a concept. She asked if served mac & chz. I said some people might but mentioned what cheesy type beans w crunched croutons we ate.. had seen at friend’s houses. She was shocked about a lot of my answers but I always quantified that in my area, what I was aware of. She then mentioned what she thought was typically eaten for black thanksgivings. By the time we left her. I’m wasn’t looking at me when she thought I wouldn’t notice. I knew then that maintaining groups, tribalism of culture or race is comfortable for some but hurtful in a way to society. I wasn’t brought up that any one religion or lack thereof or group of people was better than another. I did learn once working tho that the older black women/RNs were hazing me. It hurt at first as I worked at an inner city hospital & was 1 of 2 white people. There were times I wouldn’t be invited to order carry out lunches when they’d order… sort of made to feel like outsider. That made me sad but I stuck w it. Some of the women that were most harsh, ended up at my wedding saying they had a blast & then were able to comfortable enough to say, at their first white person’s wedding. lol. I wish people would learn why the lack of understanding where people like Jamel may be coming from shouldn’t be thing to just get angry about; it should be a chance to ask self why… do research, read, mingle. Anyway… hope that these people who are coming for her. Ow aren’t going to be idiots!
