The Detroit Lions have a new head coach in Dan Campbell. At his introductory press conference, the former New Orleans Saints assistant said he is ready to bring a spark that has been missing from the Motor City team.
Lions HC Dan Campbell:
"I wanted this job. … Bad. … This place has been kicked, it's been battered, it's been bruised. I can give you coachspeak all day long, none of that matters — you've had enough of that shit.
"This team is going to take on the identity of this city."
