IF DAN CAMPBELL STARTED A CULT I WOULD JOIN

[*JD*]

This term gets thrown around WAAAAAAAAY too often these days, but I think it truly applies here.

Dan Campbell is just different.


He may drive the talking heads (and some fans) nuts with his 4th down attitude but I think his approach is much more groundbreaking than crazy. It's not always going to work but it sure seems to work the bulk of the time. And he seems to have the players fully on board with it. Campbell has built, and continues to build a culture that plays with their full heart and guts. It's uncomfortable to watch, at times, but overall I love it.

I love.Campbell cheering Skipper on as Skipper is throwing up. That's a classic Hollywood comic relief writing.

The thing that Campbell gets that a guy like Patricia didn't is that you have to provide the carrot with the stick. Too many of the these coaches are all stick and players will bail on that as soon as the losing happens. By every account the Lion practices under Campbell are every bit as intense as any in the league. But they also have fun. Football players are like minions, they want to be led but they have to see the reason.
