Lions coach Dan Campbell is in a new Applebee’s commercial, and it’s as awesome as you’d expect.
As if Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell couldn’t be more beloved. In just three short years, he’s managed to win in an “unwinnable” city. Along the way, he’s earned a ton of fans through his genuine and affable personality, not to mention some quirky moments here and there.
The Applebee’s ad campaign managed to take all of Campbell’s best qualities and fit them in a 30-second spot featuring the Lions coach acting as an Applebee’s waiter. Check out the funny ad below:
A couple things here.
First, Campbell has some legitimate acting chops here. Whether it’s the darting eyes behind the notebook or the delivery of “They’ll never see it coming” through a wry smile, he absolutely nails the part.
Second, let’s just take a moment to digest the fact that a Detroit Lions head coach is now the face of a national brand. Is there any other coach in Lions history you could imagine doing this (and succeeding at it)?
This is all pretty damn cool.
