Hiring Speilman was the best thing Sheila has ever done. It led to the Campbell and Holmes Hires and why we are one of the best teams in the NFL now.

@joshlewis575 10 дней назад

The teams mentality totally reminds me of 54. Hard work and love of the game through and through. Still can't believe the lions have become an elite organization in the NFL. And in only 3 going into the 4th year. Mind boggling what they've done with this organization

@greenshoesguy1 9 дней назад

The fact that the Lions hired Chris Spielman is why I bought a throwback # 54 jersey last year. It’s the only Lions jersey I’ve ever owned and I wear it with pride.

Everything Chris Spielman has done has been excellent: Buckeye, Lion, husband, TV commentator, special assistant to Sheila. The Lions are fortunate to have Chris in the building. Thanks Chris for being a great man and example in Allen Park. Go Blue!

Us Lion's fans don't get to hear from Chris enough. Thank you for all that you did to influence this turn around. I feel like we owe you a great debt. One Pride 💪🦁

Quinn and Patricia left the worst roster in team history, and three short years later, Brad, Dan, Chris and company have the best roster in team history. This is more fun than I could have possibly imagined.

@desert_sky_guy 10 дней назад

Been a Lions fan since before Chris was drafted. My favorite defensive Lion of all time, and I must have racked up 1000s of sacks in Tecmo Bowl games with Chris over the years. This was AMAZING. Thank you for this, Ryan and Rick and Chris. And thank you, Chris, for everything you've done to help get this team where it is. This is more satisfying and fulfilling than anything I could have written in my wildest dreams. THANK YOU! ONE PRIDE.

@jmommy881 10 дней назад

The only Buckeye that I'm a fan of, really love that guy. Robbie Timmons was also a Buckeye and she's a incredible person, Bransetter married a wonderful person. I saw a blanket knitted half Michigan and the team down south.

@davebramble2444 9 дней назад

This is the kind of stuff I love to listen to. Chris talking about all the great players he went up against and how he genuinely can’t explain how he was able to hang with them… I mean, wow! Tell you what, give me Chris over ALL of them. GRIT! EVERY DAY!

@michaelroberts6450 10 дней назад

Wow now we all just saw and heard what GENUINE is. Chris is so admired by the Lions fanbase and we are thrilled he is enjoying his multi role assignments with the Lions organization . Best of all, he's our big dog.

@reaper98765 8 дней назад

Chris Speilman was my hero growing up. He was the reason I wore 54 & played linebacker. I met him on the sidelines before my state championship football game in the Pontiac Silverdome in 1992. I’ll never forget that moment. The way he ran his life off the field, his leadership and grit on the field has inspired me to be the man & father I am today. I hope to meet him one day again.

My second favorite lion of all time. Had his jersey in high school and wish I still had it

@89DrFunk 9 дней назад

Chris Spielman is my favorite Lions a man's man. Got a chance to meet him in 1993 as a hs football player at the Silverdome prep kickoff classic. He's a simple dude who wants to do his job and lay low. He gets all weird when someone gives him compliments but he's a straight blue collar dude. Man he's hilarious I see why Barry, and Lomas and his past teammates love that dude.

@FullMetalAttackTitan9tailsHero 10 дней назад

Hell yes!!! Finally an interview w chris! Been waiting on this forever.

@DavidWhitt-ym7bk 10 дней назад

Well Chris I can say I praise you any chance I get as a player and now basically an exec. "Hire good people and stay out of their way. I preach it every day at work. True class.

@Steve_643 9 дней назад

I had said for years before they hired Chris he was the guy The Lions needed to turn their team around. I originally thought he should have been the GM but advising Shelia is even better. She needed somebody that knew football helping her. Now we have a great owner and now a great team.

@rogerwilson1255 9 дней назад

Watching this was Time well spent. I loved this interview. I am so thankful Chris is still involved with the lions. It was his foresight that gave us Dan Campbell & Brad Holmes and make us finally proud to be a Lions fan. Thank you Chris a hundred times Thank you!

@arthurfonzarelli9828 10 дней назад

I remember back in the '90s leaving the Lions games and listening to the post game show on the radio and you could hear the absolute frustration and emotion in chris spieleman's voice doing the interviews if they lost. Me and my buddy used to say wow it really seems like he cares more than any player on the team by how hard he took the losses. It was all so very heartfelt. I've never forgot that

@FullMetalAttackTitan9tailsHero 10 дней назад

Awesome insight 15:45 nobody ever told us chris was offered gm job. Thats outstanding work by him to turn down a great job like that and have the foresight to know how he could help the lions. Everyday im just more reassured we have the best organization in all of sports. Plus im pretty sure rick is working as distant advisor, throwing names to chris. No way rick interviews arnold and rakestraw, is blown away by them, then the lions just happen to draft BOTH

@jeremyzier8706 9 дней назад

I remember how it went down. In an interview with Herman Moore after the Thanksgiving debacle, he recommended Chris Spielman on the Pride of Detroit podcast. A couple days later, PoD reported that Sheila interviewed Chris for the GM position, but he declined and was hired as a special executive assistant to the team.

@CGDetroit 8 дней назад

Chris Spielman will always be one of my top Lions and so important to the rebirth. Love this guy!

@paulmayer8654 9 дней назад

It was an absolute shame that Chris Spielman didn’t finish his career as a Lion. It’s good to see him back in the organization where he belongs. It’s not a surprise that he’s been integral to the rebirth of the franchise.

That was the most important person that Sheila hired, the rest is only going to get better. It started with Speilman helping to build the Lions. They are going to be relevant regardless of what the so called experts say, for quite awhile.

@kencurvin5581 10 дней назад

I used to hate when he called lions games on tv !! Because he would always point out what they was doing wrong and I thought he hated us lol. So I owe Chris a huge apology because I cursed him so much under my breath lol

@joshlewis575 10 дней назад

U could definitely feel his disappointment when they'd stink it up.

@arthurfonzarelli9828 10 дней назад

Between this interview, multiple interviews with Campbell and Holmes I've seen, St Brown, Goff etc... You can just tell the Lions have the right people in place and are a winning organization nowadays. It's so weird to say this but it's true they are doing things the right way with the right people. Never been more excited about Detroit sports team since the Pistons and the late '80s you could tell we're also this way

@joshlewis575 10 дней назад

My whole life I never understood why we couldn't just be a Pittsburgh, Baltimore, new England, type where you're good every year. Feels so weird to now be one of the big boys. Long as they keep Brad and Dan around they'll continue to be elite

@matthewwichtner2935 10 дней назад

This is freaking awesome! A lot of people bitched when we pick him. Not fast enough, not tall enough, blah, blah, blah. I knew he'd be the player he was. Give me a whole team of players like that. And I'll give you a championship team. Keep it simple, common sense, works to this day. Unfortunately, seems to be lacking in the majority of society, today! Thanks Chris, for all you do dude, much appreciate it! Thanks to Rick and Ryan for the vid! Good stuff guys!

@joshlewis575 10 дней назад

I knew he had a part, never knew it was such a massive part though. I mean just identifying Dan of all people, wow great work. Like he said Dan is the definition of leader of men. And plucking Brad too, holy shit what a job!! Thanks 54!!

@jmommy881 10 дней назад

I've heard that Barry would be sleeping on a training table and Chris would be in the bathroom throwing up before games. Chris is the ultimate person to help the Lions be good for a long time, not a one and done build team. He truly cares about what he does and the people he helped to build this team.

@Embur12 9 дней назад

I remember a Lions beat writer looking to interview Barry about a half hour after a loss to the vikings. Barry wasn't in the locker room but running wind sprints on the field. A half hour later, he still couldn't find him as he was in the weight room. All this after a loss to maintain his 34 inch thighes and his insane cutting ability. Frustration with a bad Lions team and breaking free of the superhuman workout routine were probably both reasons he walked away from the game.

@raymondpetersen6155 7 дней назад

@arthurfonzarelli9828 10 дней назад

One of the funny things about The story were Chris said his daughter said to him thanks for making me not afraid to win or lose reminds me of when the Lions were getting into big games late in the season they asked Dan Campbell with his team would be nervous and he said I told them there's nothing to be nervous about. This is the most exciting part about playing this game is the big games, the memories that come with them, etc. He told him to embrace the pressure. Funny you don't hear many coaches talk like that and it's so true instead of being scared of it embrace it it almost gives you a high and makes you feel alive

@lukeschafer4406 9 дней назад

Chris really did help hire two guys that think about football in the same exact way he does. I see why Rick's wife said he hired himself.

@elizabethdale8566 10 дней назад

Agree with Chris on changing dates for OTA and mini camp to help players towards prep and safety.

@joshlewis575 10 дней назад

As he said it sounds logical. I know all these dudes work out but I'm sure a bunch coast during a time like now. Figuring we'll I'll get in peak shape during training camp. If u keep them through these few weeks u know they'll be in peak shape b4 training camp. I'd imagine that'd cut down on training camp injuries for sure.

@MrRonjivRoy 9 дней назад

I had a huge hunch the DC BH hires were based on 54's recommendations. This leadership oozes fearlessness. You can tell Chris feels guilty having not brought the Lombardi to Detroit and found another way to do it as only he can. As a season ticket holder, I thank him. Loved Barry's athleticism but watching 54's grit might have been more special. Not sure if any other org in history had its former player(s) navigate them to the promise-land after decades of losing but my lifetime as a Lions fan feels like a made for movie script right now.
