Dan Campbell Promises Lions Will 'Bite a Kneecap Off' in Introductory Press Conference

The Matt Patricia era in Detroit ended in disaster after less than three seasons, which led to Patricia's dismissal in November 2020.

Patricia wasn't exactly the most beloved figure in his short stint with the Lions and was known for sparring with both the media and his players before his exit from Detroit. So who have the Lions tabbed to replace Patricia? Enter Dan Campbell.

Campbell comes to Detroit after five seasons as New Orleans' tight ends coach and assistant to the head coach, previously logging a decade in the NFL as a tight end from 1999-09.
