Sometimes I wish this guy was still the head coach of my Miami Dolphins.

After the Detroit Lions scored a 34-23 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 11, Lions head coach Dan Campbell — who is currently in his second year coaching the team — gave his players a fiery speech that quite frankly could even get your 82-year-old grandmother hyped up.

“Man, stay hungry just like you are, man. We are on fire right now and we got to keep it,” said an intense Campbell, whose already-buff physique looked like it was about to explode.

I have a solid amount of experience with stuff like this from when Dan Campbell was the interim head coach of the Miami Dolphins back in 2015.

This was my first introduction to Campbell as a Dolphins fan, who got things started off immediately talking about violence and going back to the old tough days of football, and personally, I loved it.

And he gave us the fired-up speeches as well:

Don’t get me wrong, I love Mike McDaniel as our head coach, but every time I see Dan Campbell in the news, it makes me miss him being with the Dolphins. Detroit Lions fans are lucky. I really hope they realize how lucky they are, and by the looks of it on social media, they do.

Campbell has the Lions hot, winning five out of their last six games with a 6-7 record that has them right outside of the NFL playoff picture, being just behind the New York Giants who currently have the last NFC seed at 7-5-1. They’ve done this with minimal talent, by the way, and just traded tight end T.J. Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings to boot. I mean, come on, Jared Goff is Campbell’s quarterback — there you go.

I always saw this kind of potential in Dan Campbell. It’s just a shame that the Miami Dolphins didn’t give him more of a chance as their head coach, though like I said, I like Mike McDaniel.

It’s just hard not to be a fan of Dan Campbell.

Shout out to Detroit, the 313. I’m happy for you guys.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
