The support for Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has been pervasive for the majority of his 1.5 years on the job. In fact, Campbell was at his least popular before he spoke a single word as the Lions new head coach. The hire earned a 78 percent approval rating before Campbell’s introductory press conference, but it didn’t take long for Lions fans to fall in love. That summer, his approval rating shot up nearly 20 points, before even a preseason game was played.
And even though the 2021 season didn’t go too well, Lions fans remained enamored with Campbell.
