Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed rumors about the Texas A&M coaching vacancy during a recent press conference, clarifying his stance on the matter.
When asked if he had been approached by the Aggies for the head coaching position, Campbell humorously replied with a “Maybe.” Despite expressing a strong desire to support his alma mater, he made it clear that he is not currently interested in coaching for them.
Campbell, who played for Texas A&M from 1995 to 1998 and then had a 10-year NFL playing career, has found success with the Lions, boasting a 7-2 record in his third season. However, he has never taken on a coaching role at the college level. Recent reports had already suggested that he was not likely to be considered for the Texas A&M position, and his comments in the press conference further dampened any hopes of him making the move to the college coaching scene.
While putting an end to speculation about his potential involvement with Texas A&M, Campbell did provide some guidance for the Aggies in their search for a replacement for Jimbo Fisher. He emphasized the importance of hiring someone familiar with the state of Texas, well-versed in the history of Texas A&M, and possessing strong leadership skills, particularly in connecting with young players and nurturing their development.
