As I'm watching the Lions and Dan Campbell take on the 49'ers in the NFC Championship rematch, I looked up how Dan got into coaching.
He called up Mike Sherman, our HC at the time and told him he thought he wanted to get into coaching and if he could come to Spring ball at A&M. Just see what it entailed from the coaching perspective. Sherman said sure, come on down. Dan showed up and is introduced to Zac Taylor, A&M's TE coach. Zac was younger and hadn't coached tight ends, so having Dan around for a few weeks helped with some of the basics of playing the position. Dan said he knew pretty quick that Zac was a pretty damned good coach.
Zac for those that don't remember is the Cincinnati Bengals head coach. Zac is married to Sarah Sherman Taylor, Mike's daughter.
I love me some Dan Campbell (and Aaron Glenn). That is all. At ease, carry on...
