Dan Campbell, the head coach of the Detroit Lions, and his team narrowly defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 at home on Sunday afternoon to advance to the NFC Championship Game. The Lions, once the NFL’s poster child for incompetence, have seen a remarkable turnaround under Campbell’s direction, and they are now gearing up to play the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC divisional round next week.
Three years ago, Campbell made a big impression on the nation with a press conference that went viral and featured a ton of memes. This marked the beginning of his successful career with the Lions.
Kyle Meinke of MLive questioned Campbell about the press conference and how he was made fun of by opponents after the team defeated the Buccaneers.
Most likely, you are one of them. Campbell shot back, “To each his own,” according to Meinke on X, the social media site that was formerly known as Twitter.
Professional athletes, coaches, and other very competitive people frequently save invoices detailing past remarks made against them. Few, if any, analysts anticipated that Campbell would be able to assist in turning this team around so rapidly. After missing out on the NFL postseason the previous season, the Lions were anticipated to improve this year, but most people didn’t think they would make it to the NFC Championship Game. However, keep that a secret from Dan Campbell.
