Lions lineman backs Dan Campbell's aggressive coaching style: 'We all love him'

You may not like Dan Campbell’s coaching stylebut he completely embraced his Detroit Lions.

Campbell is certainly a risk-taker, which bit him in last year’s NFC title game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Lions took their chances on a few fourth downs late in the game, but were unable to convert. San Francisco took full advantage to return to the Super Bowl.

Even this year, Campbell is doing the same thing. It’s rarely talked about when it works, but when it doesn’t, it’s a never-ending conversation.

But despite what one might think of Campbell’s coaching, Josh Paschal, Lions lineman says the team has no problem with that.

“Honestly, we all love it. We love playing for him. When people think someone’s not doing something right, I just feel like if you change things, you lose your identity,” Paschal said in a recent statement. interview with Fox News Digital. “What I like so much about him is that he stays true to who he is, he knows who he is as a coach, as a man, and that’s not going to change.”

One thing that is certain about Campbell, however, is that he is a leader and the Lions would run through a wall for him.

“I promise you, it would be a Monday at 8 a.m. to hear a speech, and you’re ready to rumble on the spot,” Paschal joked. “If anyone needs to get motivated, just a regular person from 9 to 5 and get motivated for a workout, wake up in the morning and watch one of his speeches.”

The Lions are 12-2 atop the NFC North, so it’s hard to complain about Campbell, who has completely transformed the organization.
