[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1050107, member: 17987"] I gotta say, what's really been impressive to me is just how well Campbell has turned things around but also how patient Detroit has been with him. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that he had a real "high school football coach" energy* about him when he first came over, saying a bunch of ridiculous things that you almost had to laugh at (but he wasn't trying to be funny) and just came across kind of "extra" if you know what I mean. And then year one they started off 0-10-1, finishing 3-13-1. Next year they start off 1-6, but have a late turnaround and finish 9-8 (and ruined our playoff shot, lol). Last year, they jump out to an 8-2 start, finish 12-5, and make it to the NFC title game (And should have won!). And now they're 11-1 and you could make a strong case for being the best team in the league right now. Kudos to them for sticking with it. [SPOILER='* "High School Football Coach Energy"']Kind of an aside and a bit of a long story, but.... Way back when I was in high school, we played a team called the Rocks. One day before practice, our coach called us over, had us take a knee, and said he wanted to tell us about a dream he had. And he said..."I had a dream we were out here on the practice field, and for some reason there was all these big rocks all over the place, so we couldn't practice. So I said boys, gather up, we're gonna have to get these rocks out of the way. And you all pushed all these rocks into a big pile on the side of the field. And then I said you know what, this is going to sound weird, but I want you guys to try and take a leak on this pile of rocks. Just squeeze out a few drops if that's all you've got.

It means that on Friday, there's gonna be a bunch of Rocks in our way, but we're gonna push and shove them right off the field and when we're done with them they're gonna have sh*t on their helmets and p*ss running down their legs!!!" Anyways, that's the kind of vibe that Dan Campbell's earlier pressers reminded me of, hahaha[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
