Dan Campbell sets record straight on 'exaggerated' details of Dolphins interview

“Daboll, he tells that story to everybody,” Campbell said, via Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith. “He tells it to me every time I see him, we talk, he brings it up again. I don’t remember throwing chairs through the walls or anything. That didn’t happen. But I did demo on chairs. But, yeah, he definitely exaggerated it. But I was sweating and I was out of breath, and I did use a chair.”

Campbell maintains no chairs were thrown but they were instead used as props to demonstrate coaching strategies including where players would line up to block and run routes.

His methods may have been a bit unorthodox, but Campbell got the Dolphins job, and he and Daboll were part of Miami’s offensive coaching staff during the 2011 season.

Campbell also got the last laugh on Sunday as his Lions dominated Daboll’s Giants, 31-18, becoming the first team to hang 30 or more points on New York this season.
