Dan Campbell's Biggest Concern: 'Not Throwing Up on My Shoes'

560-WQAM

As Dan Campbell gears up for his first game as an head coach on Sunday, what's his biggest concern going in?

"Not throwing up on my shoes," he said on Friday, "that would be it. All that I think about all week and I don't know if this is going to answer your question, have I done everything and am I doing everything I can to get these players ready to play the game or a better way to say it is, 'To give them the very, very best opportunity to win this game, have I done everything? Am I doing everything I can for those guys?' That's all I've thought about. That's all I'm thinking about and I know that I'm doing the right thing, that I've done it and they will be ready to go.

"I'm very excited. I don't know if I've been this excited since I was a player, you know? Over the last 48 hours… I'm getting those goosebumps. I'm getting that feeling in my stomach and it's a good feeling? It's a nervous energy that if I run with it I'll explode a little too early. I'm ready to go. Then again, I'm going to go upstairs and watch this practice and just think about from here on; not get too far out. It's Friday. Let's look at what the film looked like. What can we clean up? What can we do better? Then just work it into tomorrow. That's it."
