Detroit Lions head coach, Dan Campbell, is taking his first trip to New Orleans since he left the Saints almost three years ago. This visit brings back great memories and fills him with a sense of optimism for the future.
During his time as the assistant head coach/tight ends coach with the Saints in 2016-20, Campbell witnessed an impressive run of 56 wins and four division championships. He believes the foundation and principles instilled there have allowed him to create a blueprint for success with the Detroit Lions, transforming the team in just two drafts.
Campbell’s enthusiasm stems from the speed at which they were able to elevate the Saints within the NFL, going from a 7-9 record to NFC South champions within the span of just a few years. He is eager to bring the same level of success to the Detroit Lions with the selection of the right talent and player development.
Reflecting on the Saints’ successful drafts, Campbell recognizes a similar pattern in the Lions picking up pivotal players, showcasing potential for greatness within their team. This gives him hope for the Lions’ future, pointing at the positive impact the Detroit drafts have had on the team.
The anticipation and buzz about the match-up between the Saints and the Lions are building, with great expectations as the Lions aim to clinch victory at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Following a successful run, the Lions have their sights set on winning their division title and securing the opportunity to host their very first playoff game in thirty years.
