The following podcast is a dear media production.

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Sunday Sports Club podcast, a podcast all about sports told by a woman and that woman is me.

Hi, guys. I'm your host, Alison Cooch. And today we are joined by the Holly Campbell.

I'm so excited to sit down with you, not only because I'm a lifelong Lions fan, but also

because I'm excited to just pick your brain. My husband played in the NFL for seven years.

And so I saw the other side of like coaches and people just in and around the facility.

And you guys are there longer than, I mean, they're there longer than the players. Oh, yeah. So I'm excited to talk more with you. You're also a mother of two. Yes. And retired. They're adults. Kind of. Right. A kind of 26-year-old adult and a kind of 20-year-old adult. And if I'm not mistaken, your son just got engaged on the football field recently. Yes, yes. So kind of mother of three, almost. Yes, yes, we do. I'm getting a new daughter-in-law. That is so exciting. What is it like being part of the Detroit family? Oh, it's wonderful. It's great.

are doing pretty good. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah. So we're good. I mean, we're good across the board. But you can feel the excitement in the city. Yeah. And it is. I mean, and Detroit deserves it. And how long has Detroit been your home? Well, this, this is our fifth season as head coach, and then we were here for three seasons

when he played.

Okay.

So we're getting pretty close to Detroit being the place we've lived the longest in our marriage.

Which is crazy because that's actually not a long time at all.

No, no.

No, it's...

I'm trying to think. I mean, I guess Texas still wins because, you know, we grew up there, but, and he only played for three years there. Mm-hmm. But, um... But, yeah. I mean, New Orleans was five years. Yeah. Miami, I think, was six years. I think that the main difference when I think about coaches or people that work in the

facility versus players is that players sometimes don't even live in the city that they play in
