Sometimes it’s fun to look back our first jobs. That’s not the case for Lions head coach Dan Campbell.
At the end of his pre-practice press conference on Wednesday, Campbell recounted his first job. It’s not a job anyone would ever aspire to do.
“I worked at a chicken shack,” Campbell said, recaling his days as a 16-year-old in rural Texas. “And I learned how to clean chickens. And I can do it blind, over and over and I will never do it again.”
Campbell continued,
“So I appreciate everybody who does that type of work because it got old quick.”
For the uninitiated, “cleaning” a chicken means snapping its neck to kill it, stripping off the feathers and preparing the bird for cooking.
Campbell then noted he got promoted to working the drive-thru window, but he didn’t exactly fit well. It’s better to watch Campbell explain it as the mic drop to his press conference…
