The Detroit Lions have always been one of the worst teams in the NFL and things seemed to only get worse with their mishandling of Matthew Stafford and the Matt Patricia debacle among other things. But then everything changed after the 2020 NFL season when Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes came to Detroit and all of a sudden, the Lions were alive. So join me as we go back in time to see how the Detroit Lions got to where they are today, and if finally, the Lions have escaped their own curse forever. Anyway, if you enjoyed this video at all then like and comment if you want, and you can even subscribe if you think I've earned it.
The Super Bowl is just around the corner and I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of football analysis by guys like Tom Grossi and Urinatingtree. Also, thatsgoodsports shared countless amazing football stories regarding the Detroit Lions and the NFC championship game vs the San Francisco 49ers.

Tubfrog overlooked the key hire for this turn around. After Quintrica was fired Shelia’s 1st move in that offseason was hiring former Lions LB Chris Spielman as Vice President. Chris is the reason Dan and Brad got hired. He doesn’t get a lot of praise but he’s behind the scenes overlooking and advising on all the football decisions being made.

@VaderPopsVicodin10 3 ай бұрын

Always liked Chris Spielman. Hell of a football player.. I loved it when he signed free agency in the mid 90's for my Buffalo Bills. I asked my parents for a Spielman jersey that year and I still own it. I had no idea he was still "In Football". Glad he's returned to his original team. He was one of their best players, offensive or defensive, during his early 90's prime.

*Sheila. Probably just a typo, but the only reason I’m correcting it is because so many people misspell it that I’m worried others will start thinking her name is “Shelia” and she deserves to be a household name in my opinion. Lol

1:01:55 Just a quick note on Jack Campbell’s disappointing 2023 season - for what it’s worth, he’s been completely out of position all year. He’s been playing at Will or Sam for most of the year, but in the one game (versus the Saints) that they gave him free reins at Mike he had his best game with 9 tackles, 2 for a loss. The expectation is that he’s going to take a big step forward once he gets the MLB spot full time, so I wouldn’t call him a miss yet.

Reynolds is one of the main reasons we won our first 2 playoff games, and he was one of the most clutch players in the regular season too. If you watch the NFL Jared Goff highlight video Reynolds shows up constantly. He got the yips at the worst time, but so did Gibbs. So did Vildor. The whole defense couldn’t tackle.

@@stevegreen7706 The whole city wanted the fords to sell off the team before Sheila took over. You can blame bad presidents, GM's, coaches and assistants.

It all started with the change of control at the top.

I think a lot of what the Lions became was typifieid partially by Lincoln's comments about calls to dismiss Grant: "I cannot spare this man. He fights." Even at the start of Campbell and Holme's tenure, players were fighting. Eventually, they broke through. And that's how winning is done.

Biggest turning point in Lions turn around was transfer of ownership to Sheila Hamp. She put QuinTricia on a short leash, fired them after another national embarrassment on Thanksgiving, interviewed Chris Spielman 1st for GM, then brought him on as an executive assistant after he declined the position. That led to Brad, Dan, and all coaches, players, and games that followed.💪🦁💙

If the Lions have half as good of a draft that they have had the last 3 seasons since Holmes took over they are going to be a very dangerous team. This is the 1st draft ever that the Lions can draft whoever they want. Sure there are positions that need improvement but there are no positions of absolute need. With Holmes track record so far, I'm very optimistic about the upcoming draft for the Lions. The fact that Ben Johnson decided to stick around instead of getting a promotion with a hefty raise somewhere else shows that as someone who is on the inside he sees something special brewing with his decision to stay.
