Ever since the day Dan Campbell was introduced as the next head coach of the Detroit Lions, he has been absolutely clear that he wants to have a great culture in the locker room and in the Lions facility as a whole.
On Friday, Holmes spoke to 96.7 The Ticket in Dallas and he said he is looking for players who are consistent in what they do on the field and how he does not want ‘turds.”
“That’s important, man, because those guys feel like, we got coaches who stand on the table for us and they know exactly who we are,” Campbell said. “I think that’s comfort for a player to be able to come in and know we want you because we know what you’re about.
“Look, we’re no different than anybody else. Even if you’re a great player, we don’t want turds here, man. We don’t want lazy guys, we don’t want guys that are up and down and we don’t want flash players. If you’re a flash guy where it’s like, ‘My god, did you see that play?’ and the next play he’s in the tank, we don’t know where he’s at, we don’t know what he’s going to do, I got nothing for those guys. It’s the ones that are consistent and you see it all the time.”
There is no question about it, Campbell is all about building an amazing culture in the locker room. The real question is, will that culture also bring a lot more wins than what we are used to seeing with the Detroit Lions?
Time will tell.
