Quotes:
“I have a good Tracy Walker story for you. We come out yesterday, he runs up on his own and goes, ‘Hey Coach, I’m getting a pick. I’m getting a pick today and I’m going to bring it to you.’ I said, ‘OK, you promise?’ He goes, ‘I promise. It’s coming.’ Well, he didn’t get one. So, I fined him. Last night in the team meeting I said, ‘I’m, fining you for that $50, but I’m going to pay the fine.’ So, I paid the fine, but he owes me two [picks].”
The first-year head coach has six years to figure out how to build a winning team, but he’s already winning back pages in Detroit with his propensity to deliver a juicy quote for fans everywhere.
While NFL head coaches have shifted away from inviting controversy on the mic, Campbell has been lobbing pipe bombs left and right during his tenure so far, with the Human Red Bull Energy Drink providing some good ol’-fashioned coach talk that gets the people going.
