A side by side showing the Lions war room from 2019 and 2021. Feels like a night and day difference if you ask me. These clips belong to the Detroit Lions.
Quin looked horribly unsure and Patricia looked like he really wanted someone else. How many years of just willy-nilly drafting with no plan have we had to endure?
I found myself often skipping videos like this when they were released. Or any type of press conference or interview, Matt just struck a nerve every single time
@@chevy4x466It's one thing to be Matt Millen who had no business getting the job in the first place and Rod Marinelli same thing...these two were supposed to be gurus from the best organization in the NFL and they were just as bad.
@@roems6396 Don't really blame him. He never asked for a move and wanted a new deal here. Business is Business but I don't blame players for being salty in that scenario
Agreed. No one in that room looked happy to be a part of the organization. Much different now, thanks to MCDC and Brad Holmes. I tend to think Sheila had a big hand in this too.
Did you not see sheila in the war room with Patricia and Quinn as well? She's been a part of the organization for a while now. This narrative that she had nothing to do with hiring Patricia and Quinn and blaming it all on her 98 year old mother is comical
@johnnation6744 her mother was in charge during the "Detroit Patriots" era, so it's really more on her. Her mother really didn't give a flying fuck because she really didn't know what she was doing
@@TheRealBatBoyAlive you really think that sheila had no involvement in the hiring process before 2020? She was sitting in the draft room right next to her 98 year old mother in the 2019 video. Her and Rod Wood were apart of the group that hired Patricia and Quinn so this whole narrative that she saved the team from her mother is comical. Also, remember that Martha reached out to well-respected GM Ernie Acorsi and he was the one who recommended the hiring of Quinn and Patricia so this idea that Martha didn't give a fuck when she hired a well-respected former GM to help with the hiring process (exactly what people are giving Sheila credit for with Chris Spielman) is in my opinion unfair to say that she didn't give give a fuck. Just my opinion. Sorry if I'm coming off strong lol
To me it looked like Holmes, Campbell, Agnew and some of the scouts were kids while Shiela, rod and Spielman were like the parents. It really did have a family like atmosphere where you felt 100% comfortable
The first thing I noticed is that Bob Quinn couldn’t call the draft pick himself. He had one of his lackeys do it. Brad Holmes not only called the draft pick himself, you could feel the excitement from him and the new regime
Holmes called that pick in so quick that he got yelled at by the NFL because they wanted more suspense - but he didn't care and did it again the next year. He knows who he wants and doesn't need to play games.
I noticed the same thing. Brad Holmes is the one in charge and is the one calling the players and speaking with them first like a real leader does. I love this new Lions staff so much and hope we win numerous championships with them

When we were trying to be the mini Patriots in 2019 vs 2021 building to become the Detroit F’ing Lions. Quinn and Patricia were like leftover cold hamburger that someone stepped on and left on the counter for a few hours vs Holmes and MCDC who are like the greatest Filet you’ve ever tasted. Patricia took a team that was close to the playoffs, drove them into the ground and said it was the players’ fault and he wasn’t given enough talent. Campbell took a team with little talent and developed a culture and a foundation. One Pride. Let’s Go Lions!
Exactly! I do not understand why Matt Patricia had excuses for the regression of the Detroit Lions. You weren't given enough talent? Buddy, you squandered Matthew Stafford in his prime. You also had Darius Slay, Quandre Diggs, Glover Quin, Golden Tate, and others you could build around to make a possible Super Bowl contender. But instead you signed bums like Trey Flowers, LeGarrette Blount, a worn out Adrian Peterson, and other busts. Plus you drafted a tight end...in the first round. Literally the best thing to come out of their tenure was Frank Ragnow so I guess even a broken clock is right at least twice a day.
Gotcha. One thing I don't understand, Did you not see sheila in the war room with Patricia and Quinn as well? She's been a part of the organization for a while now. This narrative that she had nothing to do with hiring Patricia and Quinn and blaming it all on her 98 year old mother is comical to me. Idk
@@johnnation6744 pay attention to there facial expressions, sheila looks she has dread, like she knows there picking the wrong person, martha looks like she could give a flying crap if we took a dude ranked #200 on the espn draft board, people give credit to sheila for caring, because she is the first and only person in her family to do so.
Thanks for putting these together. It's so crazy how much more excited and lively this staff is... And that includes the scouts and coaches. I love this new atmosphere
@@holla18atme Don`t think so!Okay now he is at the Vikes but Hockenson is a good TE,one of the best in this League!And when our Sammy LaPorta wasn`t so good we would regret that T.J.is now in Minnesota!But after we have seen what LaPorta can do,we forgot that T.J.was a good TE!
It’s boneheaded to draft a TE in a value position in the top 10 when your team has so many other issues. Unfortunately Quinn tried to fill in spots with Pats castoffs and drafted slow players like Tavai and Tabor, and neither worked. Then they drove off or got rid of good defensive players like Slay and Diggs. Holmes helped build a winner with LA and MCDC is a leader of men and has all sorts of connections from his time as a player and coach.
Sitting in the background is John Dorsey - the guy who drafted Mahomes in KC, then brought the Browns back to prominence, and then built the Lions into a Super Bowl contender.
This will only keep aging better. THANK YOU for putting these side by side! What an ego dumpster 🔥 looks next to a team centric, high character & building for sustained championships, regime.
It was TJ Hockenson, our most proven returning offensive skill position player for the Lions, and nobody looked like they gave a care that we were getting him. Like they chose him by accident. Quinn said, "We didn't speak to you on purpose because we liked you." What is that? Middle school philosophy? He sounded like he was lying through his teeth. Then Patricia unconvincingly says "We got the right guy." There was no conviction in anything they said.
It kinda felt like Quinntricia were deadset on getting their guy, but the rest of the room were adamant about going in a different direction. And by the time they were on the clock, everyone else in that room had been beaten into submission. So much so that they couldn't even pretend to be excited about it. And the saddest thing is that Quinntricia weren't even convinced that it was the best pick. Sounds like Fatty P was still trying to convince himself that it was the right move like five minutes after the pick was turned in. I love Hock, but man this was brutal.
@@tristinmckinstry6467 Yeah it looked split with Quinntricia. Meanwhile it seemed like with Holmes and Campbell, they were all on the same page with getting Sewell.
@Tristan....That's how I read the room too. With as many roster holes they had tight end wasn't the right pick. They could have traded down and still gotten hockenson.
How do you think it made peneii feel to hear the coach and the GM in the background screaming with joy like little kids at the opportunity to have you on there team?!
Hats off to the owner they took a lot of heat with fans city staff and vets and changed it up to get a system that is building a identity to this team in the first time in 30 + yrs
Sewell became the best right tackle (or left tackle if needed) in the league and a first ballot HOF as soon as his name came out of Roger Goodell's mouth.
The way Brad Holmes and Coach DC celebrate drafting players is what's setting the winning culture. This is what top-down culture looks like. Way to go Sheila for making this happen! I'm so excited for the coming season!! let's goooooo!!!! 🔥🔥

Thank you so much for posting this. That shows everything you need to know without showing much. Pictures (video clips) are worth a thousand words. Go LIONS!!!
I’m watching this post first playoff win in 30 years feeing so grateful for Brad and Dan. What the heck were all those pencil pushers doing in the room in 2019. If you ever wanted to know what negative energy looks like take a still photo of that. You could tell that Bill Bellicheck never Let anyone make a decision.
Thanks for your injection of professionalism Sheila. Lions were needlessly tight-lipped for decades and now they may have the slickest media group in the NFL. _One Pride_
This is great. Every Lion fan needs to see this. Forgetting the theatrics. The fact that Brad Holmes trd TJ for a better cheaper IA TE a couple of yrs later. It’s genius.
Dan Campbell doesn't sound like Boomerhauer, but he talks like Boomhauer: "You gonna change the culture for us, man. We are gonna build this thing around guys like you, ya hear me. You come in and play just like you been playin, man. You come in, you come in to compete, man. You be just as nasty and dirty as you've been and you're gonna help us turn this thing around. We gonna be winners, man."
i mean when Patricia came here, pretty sure everyone was like “holy shit he’s gonna bring us to the promise land! he won a bunch of superbowls!” i don’t think anyone expected this shit show
thank you! Hiensight is always 2020 and people are quick to forget that he was the top head coaching candidate that year who every team wanted and that a lot of fans were excited when he was hired
At the time I felt it was a travesty to fire Caldwell, who had a solid record, and I had the impression Quinn was bringing just bringing in one of his cronies.
Ehhh not so sure about that given how many patriots assistants fared after leaving NE. When all that stupid stuff about sexual misconduct or whatever came out after they hired Patricia a lot of us reacted like holy crap we just fumbled the bag again
You can’t write a thesis paper on how NOT to run a draft war room!! Thank you Shiela, Rod, and Chris for selecting Brad and Dan!! The culture has been set for years to come!!🙏 #1pride
Its not even just the attitudes that have changed you look at the amount of people in Matt and Bob's war room vs Dan and Brad its insane. they cut down on like 75% of the people. I will never understand how it took Brad Holmes this long to get a GM Job.
It’s honestly pretty apparent that the last GM and head coach didn’t give a shit about bringing winning football to the city of Detroit. No excitement about their pick. No one in that war room looked happy at all. This new regime is a fresh breath of air
This is amazing to look at. After Holmes and Campbell took over for Quintricia (thank you Hamm!), see that there's no ties in that room? Top shirts mostly unbuttoned? Some actual emotion from the leaders? Words to the Sewell about just being who he is and playing like he has? Changes take time, but you can see the seeds there.
The fire, determination, and energetic enthusiasm hasn't changed one bit since that first draft pick that Holmes and Campbell made. They know who they want, and they get them. Without any doubt, they believe in their guys. Quinntrica had fear and hesitantancy in there pick. Even though Hock is a great player, there seemed to be still so much doubt and questioning in what they were doing.
2019: A bunch of people updating their resumes during the draft. 2021: A bunch of guys who just found out they have a coupon for a free pizza and are super happy about it.
3:32 you could tell by the way they were looking at each other they hated the fact there was a camera in there lol. They wanted to say something but wouldn't because they're f*cking losers. As much as I despise those two, I'm grateful for them because we would have never had Sheila take over and hire Chris Spielman, BH and MCDC.
so many extra suits in that draft room in 2019... yes i guess pre covid vs 2021 they had a little less people areound etc, but looked like 2019 they were doing things the wrng way on many different levels.
At first, I didn't want to watch this garbage. But I'm glad you put this up here. Can't forget how bad it was. Make you appreciate this regime even more knowing that he built it from the studs up.
Sheila and Rod were there in both. Sheila was the only one showing emotion in the first. She was still being groomed as the successor so she was still trying to match the existing energy though her personality shone through. She put the perfect team around her and absolutely everything changed.
The one with Patrica and Quin makes me feel like a robot. No fun.. No good emotion.. Nothing that shows the fans and Detroit that this is a family that wants to grow together. It was bad from the start seeing as it split the locker room into a 50/50 house. Holmes and Campbell? Literally just seeing these guys makes my hair stand up. They don't even have to say anything and I already know that I'm going to love anything they do. Everyone can be themselves around them, and have fun. Ray Agnew is in the back getting fired up? That shows alone that they let it be an all for 1, and 1 for all atmosphere. We got the correct duo in here to turn this franchise around.
Yeah it’s kind of cool seeing the front office as a family. Holmes, Campbell and Agnew looked like the excited kids, Shiela and Wood looked like parents.
2019 looked like the gathering after a funeral.
They played like it to. That’s why I feel so different this year!
Lmao, everyone looks so disconnected, except for pencil head
Quin looked horribly unsure and Patricia looked like he really wanted someone else. How many years of just willy-nilly drafting with no plan have we had to endure?
@@bobby_Dhow about this year?🦁
Now get back to your mom’s basement and think of more witty thoughts.
"You're going to be a Lion for a long time!"
Fat Patricia seemed so upset about his pick.
That's terrible picking on a man's size
Let's just call him fluffy
The fact they sat there and watched the analysis is telling.
Dan and Brad don’t give a damn about what’s going down on TV.
The Lions organization was a joke under Patricia and that GM. Thank you Chris Spielman for helping the lions find Holmes and Campbell
It was almost like they did everything wrong on purpose. Looking back at that era angers me

It’s boneheaded to draft a TE in a value position in the top 10 when your team has so many other issues. Unfortunately Quinn tried to fill in spots with Pats castoffs and drafted slow players like Tavai and Tabor, and neither worked. Then they drove off or got rid of good defensive players like Slay and Diggs. Holmes helped build a winner with LA and MCDC is a leader of men and has all sorts of connections from his time as a player and coach.
This video still gives chills 3 years later - This was the beginning of amazing things
This kinda brought tears to my eyes 👀 to have a duo WHO ACTUALLY TAKES AFTER THE CITY AND CARE AND SHOW IT THAT'S DOPE!! #ONEPRIDE #ITSMRNASTYTIME!!
Sitting in the background is John Dorsey - the guy who drafted Mahomes in KC, then brought the Browns back to prominence, and then built the Lions into a Super Bowl contender.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell that you are in the good times, but we are in the good times with the lions right now, no doubt
This will only keep aging better. THANK YOU for putting these side by side!
What an ego dumpster 🔥 looks next to a team centric, high character & building for sustained championships, regime.
Anyone else notice that Quinn had to "cue" the room to applaud?
It was TJ Hockenson, our most proven returning offensive skill position player for the Lions, and nobody looked like they gave a care that we were getting him. Like they chose him by accident. Quinn said, "We didn't speak to you on purpose because we liked you." What is that? Middle school philosophy? He sounded like he was lying through his teeth. Then Patricia unconvincingly says "We got the right guy." There was no conviction in anything they said.
It kinda felt like Quinntricia were deadset on getting their guy, but the rest of the room were adamant about going in a different direction. And by the time they were on the clock, everyone else in that room had been beaten into submission. So much so that they couldn't even pretend to be excited about it.
And the saddest thing is that Quinntricia weren't even convinced that it was the best pick. Sounds like Fatty P was still trying to convince himself that it was the right move like five minutes after the pick was turned in. I love Hock, but man this was brutal.
@@tristinmckinstry6467 Yeah it looked split with Quinntricia. Meanwhile it seemed like with Holmes and Campbell, they were all on the same page with getting Sewell.
@Tristan....That's how I read the room too. With as many roster holes they had tight end wasn't the right pick. They could have traded down and still gotten hockenson.
@dannyfittro7438 right?! We didn't talk much because we liked you? What a horribly obvious lie. These people truly had no clue what they were doing.
How do you think it made peneii feel to hear the coach and the GM in the background screaming with joy like little kids at the opportunity to have you on there team?!
"Wanna be a Lion"
Last thing anyone wants to hear
Hindsight is 20/20, I was one of the people really hoping the Quinn and Patricia era would work, but so happy we have Holmes and Campbell
WOW!!!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE! This is why came back to my Lions!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hats off to the owner they took a lot of heat with fans city staff and vets and changed it up to get a system that is building a identity to this team in the first time in 30 + yrs
Sewell became the best right tackle (or left tackle if needed) in the league and a first ballot HOF as soon as his name came out of Roger Goodell's mouth.
And we got another Samoan lineman in the draft if he's even half as good it will work out
The way Brad Holmes and Coach DC celebrate drafting players is what's setting the winning culture. This is what top-down culture looks like. Way to go Sheila for making this happen! I'm so excited for the coming season!! let's goooooo!!!! 🔥🔥
We could go 0-17 this year and it’ll be Brad Holmes Dan Campbell > Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia
Hope we do for those draft picks. Seems like we finally have competent management.
Facts!
For real man frfr
Look at them now 😎😎 they fr did build around Penei ! Absolutely love this team, hell of a season. One pride!
@@dinklezucc5982we're coming back stronger next year 🦁
Never trust anyone that combs their hair forward
This makes me happy. So glad this team is lead by these people. LFG!
The Fords of the past couldn’t get out of their own way, thank god Sheila is in charge and Dan wanted the job.
Did you not see sheila in the war room with Patricia and Quinn as well? She's been a part of the organization for a while now. This narrative that she had nothing to do with hiring Patricia and Quinn and blaming it all on her 98 year old mother is comical
you really think that sheila had no involvement in the hiring process before 2020? She was sitting in the draft room right next to her 98 year old mother in the 2019 video. Her and Rod Wood were apart of the group that hired Patricia and Quinn so this whole narrative that she saved the team from her mother is comical. Also, remember that Martha reached out to well-respected GM Ernie Acorsi and he was the one who recommended the hiring of Quinn and Patricia so this idea that Martha didn't give a fuck when she hired a well-respected former GM to help with the hiring process (exactly what people are giving Sheila credit for with Chris Spielman) is in my opinion unfair to say that she didn't give give a fuck. Just my opinion. Sorry if I'm coming off strong lol
Thank you so much for posting this. That shows everything you need to know without showing much. Pictures (video clips) are worth a thousand words. Go LIONS!!!
I’m watching this post first playoff win in 30 years feeing so grateful for Brad and Dan. What the heck were all those pencil pushers doing in the room in 2019. If you ever wanted to know what negative energy looks like take a still photo of that. You could tell that Bill Bellicheck never Let anyone make a decision.
Thank god we got rid of Bob Quinn and Matt Patrica. What a difference in energy
Facts 💯
Thanks for your injection of professionalism Sheila. Lions were needlessly tight-lipped for decades and now they may have the slickest media group in the NFL. _One Pride_
This is great. Every Lion fan needs to see this. Forgetting the theatrics. The fact that Brad Holmes trd TJ for a better cheaper IA TE a couple of yrs later. It’s genius.
"Thank you so much for your cooperation" pretty much sums up the difference between then and now 😂
Dan Campbell doesn't sound like Boomerhauer, but he talks like Boomhauer:
"You gonna change the culture for us, man. We are gonna build this thing around guys like you, ya hear me. You come in and play just like you been playin, man. You come in, you come in to compete, man. You be just as nasty and dirty as you've been and you're gonna help us turn this thing around. We gonna be winners, man."
I like how they keep it small and focused with the core team now. 2019 seems like a corporate board meeting for no good reasons
Matty p, was like " noooo, I want tavai at number 8"....
Lmao!
3:53 did fatty defensive guru Patricia just say "change to a basketball game?" Lmao what a joke of a coach
Holy fuck, during a draft. Dude was horrible I can’t say it’s surprising
Bob Quinn and Patricia look like the last type of people i would want to work for
He didn't say change to a bball game. He said there is one on a screen. He was lookin at it passed quinn.
It's ALL about the building and valuing of relationships and Dan, Sheila and Brad are built like that.
i mean when Patricia came here, pretty sure everyone was like “holy shit he’s gonna bring us to the promise land! he won a bunch of superbowls!” i don’t think anyone expected this shit show
thank you! Hiensight is always 2020 and people are quick to forget that he was the top head coaching candidate that year who every team wanted and that a lot of fans were excited when he was hired
At the time I felt it was a travesty to fire Caldwell, who had a solid record, and I had the impression Quinn was bringing just bringing in one of his cronies.
Ehhh not so sure about that given how many patriots assistants fared after leaving NE. When all that stupid stuff about sexual misconduct or whatever came out after they hired Patricia a lot of us reacted like holy crap we just fumbled the bag again
You can’t write a thesis paper on how NOT to run a draft war room!! Thank you Shiela, Rod, and Chris for selecting Brad and Dan!! The culture has been set for years to come!!🙏 #1pride
Can we go now? Vs. I'm getting choked up watching this, it's so beautiful. The full passion of people who are destined to be champions.
Jaysus...watching the 2019 draft room made me uncomfortable and tense. Looked like an insanely uncomfortable environment.
Its not even just the attitudes that have changed you look at the amount of people in Matt and Bob's war room vs Dan and Brad its insane. they cut down on like 75% of the people. I will never understand how it took Brad Holmes this long to get a GM Job.
Wow such a difference immediately
So much hungry energy with Holmes and Campbell! Embodiment of the entire city!!
Now, now let's be fair. Patricia was hungry too, just in a different way.
It’s honestly pretty apparent that the last GM and head coach didn’t give a shit about bringing winning football to the city of Detroit. No excitement about their pick. No one in that war room looked happy at all. This new regime is a fresh breath of air
This is awesome
That awkward handshake hug thing between fat pat and Quinn is so awkward
Sheila would never wear sunglasses indoors.. Huge step up from her mother
This is really great
Anyone else think Brad Holmes reminds them of Keagan Michael Key? Which honestly is ironic since Key's a Lions fan
With as many costumes and acting jobs he's done, who's to say that isn't Keegan impersonating holmes?
Was waiting for Mrs. Ford to say "We are so excited to have you TJ, we needed a f**king beast at tight end"
Awesome posr!
Did Bob Quin have to looked at the board to remember who he was picking?
😂 he panicked it looked like
Patricia looks so much more awful in real time after watching DC. Crazy how much different the energy is. The vibe. The idea. Nuts
2019 looked like a season 1 episode of the office...
Don’t miss that duo!!!!!
This is amazing to look at. After Holmes and Campbell took over for Quintricia (thank you Hamm!), see that there's no ties in that room? Top shirts mostly unbuttoned? Some actual emotion from the leaders? Words to the Sewell about just being who he is and playing like he has?
Changes take time, but you can see the seeds there.
Different emotions and energy
this is a harsh flashback..kudos to Ms. Ford Hamp for hanging in there and seeing what is possible! #GoLions
The staff didn't believe in the T.J. Hockenson pick. Everybody bought into Penei
Watching this in 2024 is so fucking hype.
It all started at the top, Martha needed to let go of operations… big props to Shiela and Brad bringing this football program back to relevancy
A family culture compared to a culture of egos and excuses
The fire, determination, and energetic enthusiasm hasn't changed one bit since that first draft pick that Holmes and Campbell made. They know who they want, and they get them. Without any doubt, they believe in their guys.
Quinntrica had fear and hesitantancy in there pick. Even though Hock is a great player, there seemed to be still so much doubt and questioning in what they were doing.
Everything they said about Peneii came out to be the truest thing ever
Sewell falling to them is still so crazy to this day
Thanks, Great Video😂😂
When Dan got on the phone and yelled “Big Man!!!” I knew things were about to change in Detroit
2019: A bunch of people updating their resumes during the draft.
2021: A bunch of guys who just found out they have a coupon for a free pizza and are super happy about it.
3:32 you could tell by the way they were looking at each other they hated the fact there was a camera in there lol. They wanted to say something but wouldn't because they're f*cking losers. As much as I despise those two, I'm grateful for them because we would have never had Sheila take over and hire Chris Spielman, BH and MCDC.
That’s astonishing.
Nothing speaks more eloquently time!! 💯🎬🎬👍🏾👍🏾 #313GRIT #OnePride🦁
so many extra suits in that draft room in 2019... yes i guess pre covid vs 2021 they had a little less people areound etc, but looked like 2019 they were doing things the wrng way on many different levels.
At first, I didn't want to watch this garbage. But I'm glad you put this up here. Can't forget how bad it was. Make you appreciate this regime even more knowing that he built it from the studs up.
Ineptitude vs football “bros” lol, love our team now
Sam LaPorta > TJ Hockenson
How did you get ahold of that quintricia footage? They were always so secretive lol surprised they even had a camera in the room.
The Lions posted it to their UA-cam channel.
Sheila even showed a little life in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024... I wonder what it is...
2019 was so awkward. Got chills when Brad and DC told Peneii he was going to change the culture in Detroit. He sure did, and they did it too
Watching this I realized how dumb we looked in the war room .. I love how we look now in there
Sheila and Rod were there in both. Sheila was the only one showing emotion in the first. She was still being groomed as the successor so she was still trying to match the existing energy though her personality shone through. She put the perfect team around her and absolutely everything changed.
Drafting Penei, I knew Brad Holmes wasn't fuckin around. A true sign that shit was about to be different here for the first time in 30+ years.
The one with Patrica and Quin makes me feel like a robot. No fun.. No good emotion.. Nothing that shows the fans and Detroit that this is a family that wants to grow together. It was bad from the start seeing as it split the locker room into a 50/50 house.
Holmes and Campbell? Literally just seeing these guys makes my hair stand up. They don't even have to say anything and I already know that I'm going to love anything they do. Everyone can be themselves around them, and have fun. Ray Agnew is in the back getting fired up? That shows alone that they let it be an all for 1, and 1 for all atmosphere.
We got the correct duo in here to turn this franchise around.
Yeah it’s kind of cool seeing the front office as a family. Holmes, Campbell and Agnew looked like the excited kids, Shiela and Wood looked like parents.
Now look at us bro!.. we're on our wayyy!!😁😁😁💪🦁🦁🦁>🏆🔥🔥🔥
You can tell they really valued “professionalism” back in ‘19. Doesn’t mean anything if you suck.
