Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell may end up regretting letting a little story slip during his Friday press conference. When asked if he and his wife Holly ever dressed up for Halloween during his playing days, Campbell said he had, and then revealed that he once dressed up as Marylin Monroe.
“I was Marilyn Monroe one year, alright. That was a long time ago, but—and that wasn’t here. I’m sure you could find some old stuff,” Campbell said. “But anyway, we paired up pretty good. Let’s just put it that way. So, Holly’s the creative one. She always had pretty good ideas for stuff.”
Campbell seemed to know that those pictures were out there somewhere or would be unearthed. A few hours later, Holly Campbell promptly posted them to her instagram page.
Enjoy.
Campbell went on to tell the rest of the story that Halloween.
“Well actually that one, her sister came in. So, it was really more her and her sister than it was we were paired up. So, I was kind of odd one out. But I was Marilyn Monroe. She bought me the freaking dress, had the wig. So, and I actually had broken an ankle so I was on crutches too. So that was great,” Campbell said.
So why was he such a good sport of going solo with a costume picked out by Holly?
“Alcohol helps,” Campbell admitted.
Just another example of Campbell being unabashedly himself and a bright personality in this world. That’s in pretty stark contrast to, say, another NFC North coach this time of year.
