When I watched the Dan Campbell press conference I thought "This is EXACTLY what the Lions need." I have said, out loud, for decades, the Lions need a Bill Cowher-like person that players and fans will embrace. Many, many thanks to Chris Spielman for the role he played in bringing Dan to the Motor City! That is a job VERY WELL DONE! GOOOOOOOOO LIONS!!!
I think it is so great, lions have this great leader in Campbell and then toss Brad Holmes into the mix, giving Dan the talent and you have a deadly combo. The most impressive part of this lions rebuild is the true fire the organization has to become winners. Never seen a lions regime built to win until now.
Great story about Chris Spielman. A few years ago after a practice all the players & coaches had left the field in Allen Park. But there was Chris Spielman out there with the grounds crew. No fanfare or media. He was fixing divots in the grass and re-seeding them. He wanted the grounds crew to know how important they were to the team too. Dan Campbell either saw it or heard about and the next day before the presser started the first thing he did was talk about Chris and the kind of leader he is. Chris was a pivotal hire.
