One might think that football has been the longest commitment that Dan Campbell has in his life. While that might be true, his wife is a very close second. The Detroit Lions head coach makes it to a point that he treats Holly Campbell right along with their two children. How did these two meet and how in love are they with each other despite being together for such a long time?
Holly Campbell, the Lions HC's lovely wife
Coach Dan Campbell knew that he wanted to marry Holly during his years at Texas A&M. When it was sure that he was going to be selected in the third round of the 1999 NFL Draft, their engagement and marriage immediately followed. The two have now been married for a quarter of a century and their love has always remained the same, if not growing.
Holly and Dan have two children, Cody and Piper. They completely moved to Detroit after Dan got the Lions head coaching job too. This is a testament to how insanely supportive she is of his career choice.
The Lions head honcho cannot thank Holly enough for all of this effort that she puts into the relationship, "First and foremost, my wife, Holly. We've been married for over 20 years. She's been my rock, man. She's moved with me, she tells me exactly how it is — in a good way — well not always in a good way, but my point is, she's going to let me know exactly what she thinks, and that's a good thing.”
The support that Holly has been giving to the Lions and Dan is paying off. As of the moment, they are sitting atop the NFC North and are in a four-game winning streak entering Week 7 of NFL action.
