Kevin Clark at The Ringer wrote an extended profile on Dan Campbell that highlights the unvarnished and direct approach the Lions’ head coach takes to pretty much everything. The article reflects a ton of work, with input from folks who have known Campbell throughout his football career. There are stories from teammates and colleagues from former stops like Texas A&M teammate Dat Nguyen and former Miami Dolphins executive Mike Tannenbaum, but also a lot from the man himself.
There’s a fantastic tale about former Giants tight end Howard Cross from Campbell’s time as a rookie player in the NFL.
