Dan Campbell is at the point of being a Chuck Norris meme with how many he has. These are all not only real calls but these were ALL successful calls as well: (not in any order)
- Up 7-0 in the 1st quarter, Dan Campbell called an onside kick against the Rams.
- Dan Campbell called a fake punt on the same drive as the onside kick
- Dan Campbell called a second fake punt in the same game in the 3rd quarter
- Dan Campbell called a fake punt from his own 17 yard line, 5 minutes into the 2023 season against the defending super bowl champions.
- Dan Campbell called a run play out of shot gun on 4th and 5 in the 1st quarter vs the Chargers
- Up 7 points in the 3rd, Dan Campbell went for it from his own 27 yard line on a 4th and 8 against the Vikings
- In the same game to ice it on 3rd and 7 with about 1:30 left in the 4th, Dan Campbell calls a pass play to Penei Sewell… the offensive tackle.
- 4th and 3 from their own 35 - Dan Campbell calls a fake punt against the Seahawks in the 1st quarter
- On 4th and 1, instead of kicking the field goal, Dan Campbell goes for it and prevents Aaron Rodgers another shot, eliminating them from reaching the playoffs.
Not game related but also fun MCDC facts:
- Dan Campbell drinks 40 ounces of coffee and 4 shots of espresso per day.
- Dan Campbell wanted an actual live lion on the sidelines for home games but said “the league frowns on that”
Just pushing back on the “wanting a real lion” thing. DC said it was a joke that everyone took seriously. A lot of the jokes he makes people think are real because of how they perceive Dan. People also thought he was serious when he said he was watching the wave instead of a pivotal play in a game.
