Campbell continues to prove he's the man.
The Detroit Lions head coach has been giving awesome locker room speeches all season long, but this one seemed to hit a bit differently.
Critics of the Lions and Campbell like to poke fun at the fact he wears his heart on sleeve. The man literally gets emotional talking about how much he loves football.
Well, who is laughing now? The Lions have their first playoff win in my lifetime, and the man responsible for the incredible overhaul of the franchise - Dan Campbell - deserves an insane amount of credit.
He didn't just turn the Lions around. Campbell changed the entire culture and perception of the team. The Lions went from being a complete joke and punching bag to being a team nobody wants to play.
