Get ready for Dan Campbell to reach new heights of coaching stardom later this year.
The Detroit Lions will be the latest NFL franchise to appear on HBO’s training camp series, Hard Knocks.
And that’s good news for viewers — the show is always at its best when there’s an entertaining coach at the helm of the team being featured (see: Ryan, Rex), so we’ll get to see what Campbell (known for endless amazing quotes) is like behind the scenes.
So of course everyone made the same joke when the news broke Monday morning, citing Campbell’s most famous quote since becoming the Lions’ head coach.
All the biting kneecaps jokes!
News: Hold on to your kneecaps, folks. The @Lions will be the subject of this summer’s “Hard Knocks” on HBO.
