Lions head coach Dan Campbell was mic’d up for a recent practice session at the team’s indoor training facility in Allen Park. It’s a great opportunity to see the new Detroit head coach patrolling the practice field and to get a sense of his coaching style and demeanor.
There are fun moments, including the very start where he sheepishly flashes to an assistant that he’s the Lions rep who is mic’d up for the day. Or where safety Tracy Walker gives him a playful push, Campbell responds, “You touching me? You probably broke your hand”.
Positive reinforcement for players is also a recurring theme, and it’s delivered by Campbell in a sincere way that is such a stark contrast to what has been the status quo in Detroit over the last few years.
Thanks to the Lions for posting it on YouTube, it’s a worthy watch.
