ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Up at a podium, live on Zoom and broadcast to the world, Dan Campbell was in the midst of a stream of consciousness.
Hired as the Detroit Lions head coach days earlier, he spoke with emotion as he thanked many people and at one point joked about being compared to "The Dude" from 'The Big Lebowski' -- and Campbell does sound a little bit like Jeff Bridges. For 90 minutes this went on, an eternity in the world of often carefully curated news conferences.
Campbell bounced between almost being brought to tears and well-thought-out answers.
