Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is already a beloved figure across Metro Detroit, but a recent video has fans loving him even more. Known for his intense sideline energy and leadership, Campbell showed off a softer side this weekend—helping his daughter move out of school.
The viral clip, shared on Instagram by his wife Holly Campbell, shows Dan packing a giant beanbag chair (known as a LoveSac) into his truck with determination and care. Local sports reporter Brad Galli summed it up perfectly on X, writing, “Dan Campbell helped his daughter move out of school — and that included squeezing a LoveSac into his truck.”
Fans online were all in:
“That is hilarious!” one person commented.
“Legend,” another added.
“Proud of you, coach!” chimed in another.
Off the field, Campbell has been spotted around town with his wife at Detroit Pistons games and even an AC/DC concert, showing just how connected he is to the community. But this moment with his daughter Piper hit home in a special way, reminding fans that even NFL coaches have everyday dad duties.
As the Lions gear up for a potential third straight NFC North title and a Super Bowl push this fall, it’s clear Coach Campbell knows how to balance football and family—like a true champion.
