Here’s a bunch of quotes/thoughts about him:
[THREAD]
[Campbell’s] got a great vision of what he wants (his team) to be. I think he’s going to be an outstanding head coach. It’s not a matter of if, but when." - Chris Ballard
As assistant head coach with the Saints, Campbell is entrusted with addressing the entire team. Something coordinators don’t typically get to do.
“He's a person that you want to follow. And a person you believe in and you know he's gonna be honest with you." - Drew Brees
“[He] just has a great connection with the younger players. I've never seen him badmouth anybody, [it's] more talking up to you. Even when they mess up, he's gonna talk up to them. And you just want to play for somebody like that.” - Terron Armstead
"He's a fantastic leader. Extremely dedicated, hardworking. He's exactly how he was as a player. And I tried to hire him a number of times and finally had that opportunity. So, we're fortunate to have him." - Sean Payton
"He's got a personality now, too. He'll put on funny clips [when coaches present the scouting report each week]. He knows when to kind of loosen up and have fun." - Drew Brees
While he hasn’t been hired as a head coach, he did coach the Dolphins for 12 games in 2015. That’s a more extended look than the typical interim head coach gets.
Will Campbell work out for the #Lions? Who knows?! But it’s not like he’s completely inexperienced either. From what I’ve read/watched, he appears to be the anti-Patricia which is exactly what the Lions team needs right now.
His coordinator’s/staff will be critical (but they are for EVERY head coach).
