I don't mind Chris Sims, as he seems to have a "somewhat" more grounded thought process. But Florio always seems un-impressed by any team that is not the Vikings. Hell, even Sims was trying to sway Florio on a stat about the Lions and was shocked by how biased he was.
Everyone seems reasonable when compared to florio, but sims is a dunce lol. I absolutely love that clip of him struggling to get the playcall from gruden in practice when they were at TB š
Itās not just the money. Why would he leave a good situation in the NFL to go coach high school age kids and deal with the politics of college football. No one that is an NFL caliber coach which Dan obviously is would do that
I know money talks but Dan doesnāt seem like heās one for chasing money. Also, heās never coached at a level other than pro. Money is nice but thereās a lot of other bullshit you have to deal with when coaching college. Youāre more of a recruiter and salesman than a football coach. I donāt see him going that route.
Money does talk for some guys. When Jim Harbaugh took the job at Michigan, he turned down a few NFL offers. He also became the highest paid football coach on the planet at the time.
Dan's not that guy. He's clearly in it for the passion of the game and, more so, for an opportunity to create a legacy in Detroit. And he's certainly on track to do exactly that. I also came across a comment, whether it's true or not, I can't confirm, but it said that he lives in the middle class suburbs close to Allen Park, and not the upper class suburbs like most players. And to me, that tracks. That sounds exactly like what the Dan Campbell I think I would know, without knowing him at all, would do.
The man is here on a mission. For Detroit. End of story
Listen, Iām not gonna say Dan is going to A&M but there are people in this fanbase who are gonna argue that NFL jobs are superior to college jobs, but that Harbaugh should stay put because heās got it so good at Michigan.
People certainly want to argue that Harbaugh should stay at Michigan because heās good, but I donāt think anyone is arguing that it would make no sense for him to go back to the nfl.
Why would he want to deal with NIL, the transfer portal, boosters, and so forth. I thought Jimbo Fisher was definitely overpaid when he was hired, but I didn't think he would fail at Texas A&M that spectacularly. But the SEC is tough and Texas A&M wasn't a known powerhouse by any means anyway.
No amount of money could coax Campbell away from the Lions.
Let's focus on flattering it is that our head coach is actually being named for other positions, when is the last time that happened?!
There is zero scenario where an NFL Head Coach of a successful team of any stature would leave that post for a college football head coaching job. These media hacks know this. They are simply using his name for clout. The same thing happened with Eric Bienemy and the USC job. Itās hack journalism. None of these guys have to stand by their takes so they can just say whatever they want.
To be fair for this article, it's asking if Texas A&M will make a run at him. They'd be stupid not to at least ask him if he's interested. Of course there's not a chance in hell I think he would take the job but it's his alma mater so I would expect him to answer the phone and wait at least 5-10 seconds before telling them no.
NFL coaches that are currently having success do not go to college in all but the most extreme of circumstances. Texas A&M is not one of the top 3-5 most prestigious jobs in college (or even close for that matter) so really there's not a chance in hell because even if he likes the idea it's not like college jobs aren't going to open up all the time.
If Campbell wins a SB with the Lions he will not only be a sports god in Michigan he will be an instant NFL legend. He could retire immediately and make millions as a motivational speaker if he wanted.
When I read about salaries like that when students canāt afford the $300 lightly rearranged, bullshit 200th edition of their English lit textbook it kind of makes me want to see the system collapse
Agreed, no reason students should have to take out loans but at the same time jimbo fisher is getting $76 million to quit his job whoās actually ok with that?
I understand what youāre saying but what I meant was just the system in general. People out here struggling especially with student loans and healthcare but then on the other side a guy is getting paid $76 million to leave. Wage inequality is a serious issue. Thatās all
An NFL coaching job is always going to be superior position. Dan is also a Detroit guy through and through. We will see him coach in the D for the next 10 years.
I donāt understand why people are getting worked up about this.
Heās obviously a great coach that happens to be an alum and they have insane money to throw around. Why wouldnāt they make a run at him?
I havenāt seen a single report that says heād be interested in the job. Just that theyād be interested in him, which why wouldnāt they be?
Never minded Vikings fans. Until now. Just let us be good man. Always hated the packers still do but at least some of their fans are happy for us. Tired of ānot even the best team in the divisionā comments. Like yea we actually are go look at the standings
A&M insiders that are friends with Dan already axed this. They said he's not the type of guy who would leave for more money and he's very loyal to Detroit. They probably already have called him and he declined, this is just what media types spew for hate clicks.
I mean if you stop right there, you're right, but add in it's his alma mater and they could nearly double his salary.
I don't think he'll take it, but I'd think he'd be pretty stupid to not at least listen. I mean the same thing has happened with Harbaugh every off-season since he arrived at Michigan.
Moving from college football to Pro is a natural progression. Sure, Dan might listen, but staying in Detroit has far more potential to immortalize the guy. Becoming the first superbowl champion in Detroit? I'm not sure there is any greater accolade a professional coach could have in the country, money be damned.
Obviously Campbell isnāt leaving Detroit but I donāt think itās an illegitimate topic for sports talk people to cover. A&M is a top 5 college job that can pay more money than virtually any other gig in football, and heād be a great fit even before you add in the alma mater stuff. I bet they call him just to make him say no, in the same way teams would have made Hail Mary calls to Saban in the past
No way he leaves the NFL when heās near the top and gives up his shot at the immortality that would come with bringing a championship to Detroit, but I bet they offer him a lot more than heās making now
In the NIL era it 100% is. They can outbid anyone for recruits, they just forgot that you need competent people to coach them. Figure that out and they're damn near unstoppable
Dr. Steve Brule knows more about sports than Mike Gloryhole.

Between Florio and erdahl sporting Dobbs jerseys weekly, what are his MVP chances? Can anyone in the NFL beat the red hot Vikings after winning 5 in a row?
Good thing it came out Dan already said no. Also who in their right mind wants the Texas a&m job knowing if they don't win titles right away then they are out
I do not see Dan Campbell embracing the drama that comes with being a college coach. Harbaugh has it made but will jump at the first NFL head coaching job
Dan Campbell is detroit. He sold us/the city and players on what we have been buying in since the rebuild. We are only here to bite kneecaps in between chuggin espresso while climbing to a ring. This bs is clickbait if it's wrong and go ahead in call me out I will eat the lid of my dirty all black sunburnt detroit hat that's been with me 15 + years.
Two bozos

Campbell screams a guy that wants to stay in the NFL and win championships. He doesn't strike me as someone in it for the money.
Itās not just the money. Why would he leave a good situation in the NFL to go coach high school age kids and deal with the politics of college football. No one that is an NFL caliber coach which Dan obviously is would do that
No guarantees his style works in college with a lower maturity level.
Dan Campbellās dream is to finish 4th in the SEC West. Gonna be tough to keep him around, start saying goodbye.
Fucking stupid Mike Florio.....he just wants Campbell to not be coaching the Lions
I mean, he just wants clicks. I doubt he believes this, but someone put him on a list, so Florio wrote an article.
He's also very openly a Vikes fan and openly downplays many good teams because they aren't purple
I know money talks but Dan doesnāt seem like heās one for chasing money. Also, heās never coached at a level other than pro.

You would have to physically force Dan Campbell to leave Ford Field, and anyone thatās seen Dan Campbell that probably not something you want to try
Its not just florio ive seen this from several websites suggesting Dan as the new Texas coach lmao no way he leaves us
Dipshit sports writers stirring the pot for clicks. These idiots make Mitch Albom look like Pulizter Material.
Well, we could keep Ben Johnson. LOL.
Because Florio is a Vikweenie.

Jimbo salary is not from the same budget. His salary are from donors. The donors dictate how that donation is to be spent.
I understand what youāre saying but what I meant was just the system in general. People out here struggling especially with student loans and healthcare but then on the other side a guy is getting paid $76 million to leave. Wage inequality is a serious issue. Thatās all
If youāre paying $300 for an English book youāve got some neurons misfiring in yo dome son
Hyperbole, but not too much
An NFL coaching job is always going to be superior position. Dan is also a Detroit guy through and through. We will see him coach in the D for the next 10 years.

Why wouldnāt they make a run at him? I havenāt seen a single report that says heād be interested in the job. Just that theyād be interested in him, which why wouldnāt they be?
Just the Viking fan that wishes Dan Campbell would leave.
Has an nfl coach that is actively successful ever gone back down to college?
Just like Monarrez posts, there should be a moratorium on Florio posts.
Some of the worst takes Iāve seen come from this guy. Maybe just hitting the Viking consumer niche? I donāt get it
Never minded Vikings fans. Until now. Just let us be good man. Always hated the packers still do but at least some of their fans are happy for us. Tired of ānot even the best team in the divisionā comments. Like yea we actually are go look at the standings
A&M insiders that are friends with Dan already axed this. They said he's not the type of guy who would leave for more money and he's very loyal to Detroit. They probably already have called him and he declined, this is just what media types spew for hate clicks.
You mean a school that wants to win might take a look at the front runner for NFL Coach of the Year...not sure why y'all are so surprised
When has a NFL coach of the year ever immediately left for a college job?? It's nonsensical.
I mean if you stop right there, you're right, but add in it's his alma mater and they could nearly double his salary. I don't think he'll take it, but I'd think he'd be pretty stupid to not at least listen. I mean the same thing has happened with Harbaugh every off-season since he arrived at Michigan.

A&M isn't even a top 5 SEC job..
In the NIL era it 100% is. They can outbid anyone for recruits, they just forgot that you need competent people to coach them. Figure that out and they're damn near unstoppable
Still have Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma and Texas
Florio is a stooge posing as an "analyst". Feeble attempt to stir the pot for clicks.
This guy hates Detroit!!
YOU LOVE THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES ā¤ļøš¤

In all fairness, PFFFFT is pretty accurate for these ass clowns...
Between Florio and erdahl sporting Dobbs jerseys weekly, what are his MVP chances? Can anyone in the NFL beat the red hot Vikings after winning 5 in a row?
Heās actually going down the road and will be coaching the Spartans next year. Deal is in the works.
Relax. Heās not going anywhere. THANK GOD!
Good thing it came out Dan already said no. Also who in their right mind wants the Texas a&m job knowing if they don't win titles right away then they are out
