The Most Impossible Turn Around in Sports History

Dan Campbell's turn around of the lions needs to be studied, so I studied it, with a little help of course, go check out everything Hamza does here:

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.

[@dannyg967]

We don’t give a fuck about rugby

[@paulgaither]

​@dannyg967 - You are confused. We don't give a fuck about you.

[@lostanchorfishn1292]

[@zmanjz]

Man Campbell is the Manliest Man to coach a football team in this century.

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

Dan Campbell for President. If he can turn the Lions around, God damn!

[@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]

Not today lol

[@cmoney163]

This did not age well lol

[@radaf4429]

Oh really? Like not kicking an extra point to tie it against the Cowboys when you're at the 10 yard line?

[@e2rqey]

looking back on that Cowboys game, them losing that game ended up being the best thing that could have happened to the Lions in terms of their matchups in the playoffs.

[@Sheamu5]

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

[@canislupus5]

Brad Holmes deserves as much credit as Campbell. He's built this team by nailing three drafts in a row.

[@zeedon]

You put it perfectly. It’s a completely new team. Even when we lose, I’m still proud of our team for their unwavering determination.

[@philly_sports1558]

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

[@AprilHarmony9]

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🔥🔥🔥

[@Sheamu5]

For the first time in my life we have a good team. Before it's been a few hall of fame players trying to prop up a poorly coached roster. Dan has changed things, win or lose today, I'm damn proud to be a Lions fan.

[@trollblox_]

do you think matthew Stafford will be future hof?

[@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

[@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.

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.
