how is this a sticky subject?
This thread will remain a stickied thread until I say otherwise. Not only is this thread easily a top five all time thread on fearless friday, it serves as point of contact for Coach Campbell to let us know how he's doing in his fight. I want it right up top for easy access.

Went back to Doctor today, still have drain tube in, hope to get it out next week.....Had major surgery on June 1st, took about about 20% of liver, am home trying to get my strength back, going to take some time.....Keep me in your prayers.....
Will do coach. Stay in faith.

Many prayers coach. Stay strong!!

Get to meet the great Coach Campbell Saturday, I can't wait for this opportunity the week won't be able to fly by fast enough. Thank you again Coach!

Got to meet Coach today and let me tell you, this college kid right here was nervous!!! I pulled into the drive to see that his license plate was 27 trap...i knew then I was in the right place. I rang the doorbell Coach answered and there it was in his living room. All his plaques, awards, conf championships teams, state champs, and newspapers from when he retired. But after 5 mi s with him the nerves were gone and he made me feel right at home. We started watching film of his passing game highlights...about 7 plays! Haha then we started to watch film on the trap and more. I can't put into words what that 2&1/2 hrs was like but as I've told friends today. It was the best 2&1/2 hrs I've ever spent of my life. I found myself not so much writing down things about the trap but more like getting kids to play hard and believe. Simple things but yet so important to the game.... I tried to hide my smile the whole time cause it was such an honor to meet you Coach. Thank you so much for the the little bit of time you gave me. I will definitely cheerish for the rest of my life...whatever they do is wrong!

Hey coach I'm glad to see that you are doing better. I will never forget those times on the football field. Thinking about those days and the hard fought games we had, the one that will always stand out in my mind is the Batesville game in 2005. Even though we lost that game that was one of the hardest fought games i have ever been a part of and of course the championship game the year before that and i wouldn't trade it for anything. I can still remember in practice running plays over and over until we couldnt stand it anymore but hey, it worked and always paid off in the end. As a player under you i learned valuable life lessons that i will continue to live by and teach my kids one day.


PA Pressbox

[Yes, I confess I have not been on FF in quite some time.  Just please don't tell Lanny.  He might want a divorce. ;)]

Coach Campbell,

As Coach DePriest, Harrison (aka The Artist formerly known as Coach DePriest, PA) said early in this thread, it is truly an honor to have a bona fide legend posting hear on Fearless Friday.  I just wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting you, even though I didn't know it at the time.  Let me explain:
My two sons and I drove up to Cabot for the PA game right at about a year ago.  We were sitting on the next to the top row.  Right behind us were two gentlemen from out of town. (not sure if you want everyone knowing where you live now.)  They said they had thought about driving over to Wynne but, instead, decided to watch PA take their best shot at Cabot.  (not those words exactly.)   As I listened to their conversation for the rest of the first half, it was obvious that at least one of the gentlemen had a very astute knowledge of the game.

So, we stopped for fast food on the way out of and as we were sitting there eating, my (then college age) son said, "Wait a minute.  I just realized......that had to be Coach Don Campbell sitting behind us."  I said, "you know..... that makes perfect sense."  So again, even though we didn't exchange formal introductions, it was a pleasure to meet and visit with you last year.  If you ever happen to make down to Rector Field at Joe B. Hatcher Stadium, come on up to the Press Box.  I'll have an air conditioned, or heated, 48 yard line seat waiting for you.  Of course, then Lanny will look over and see you, and try and rope you into doing some color commentary for the radio broadcast.

Best of luck with your health, Coach.  You will certainly be in our prayers.

[Good grief.  I just remembered why I haven't been on here in a while.  I start writing and get long winded and next thing you know, it's way too late at night.]

DogsWin7

Hey Coach!  Bet you still get that game day feeling inside!   Football season is here!   pray your scan went well and get the all clear.

God Bless.

We had a philosophy there at Wynne that "whatever our opponent did was wrong", they might load the box or do something usual but we felt that left a opening some place else for us to attack.... Had talked with Coach Calley about this and one day at the end of practice in the 2007 All Star game, Terrance Boykin , whom I called "T-Boy" walked by us  and I said that "Whatever they did is what "" and he responded "it's wrong Coach".....Kids believed in our system and its ability to find the weak spots in their defensive schemes, cannot say how important it is for the kids to believe in the Coach and his system....Always felt like we won a lot of games by "playing hard" and by thinking we were supposed to win....Did not feel we were a lot smarter than other people but we sure were simple, did not want to confuse the kids , they had to understand who they were going to block and the back had to know where to run......It's a simple game and we sure don't need to make it hard or complicated for the kids to understand, never had a play book there at Wynne, had about four plays with a lot of schemes and options off those four plays.....Always felt  like the kids needed " see the play" in their mind, get a mental picture of what was going on....My last few years I coached the "slower" I got, we never moved on to something else until we knew exactly what was going on, always felt like that a lot of people try to do too much, me included, that's we were were so successful there at the end......
Must also say this , I had a great bunch of kids to worked with over my 39 yrs of coaching , will always be indebted to them for the effort they gave  and how hard they worked, I was blessed and a lot of the credit goes to them for making things work out the way it did......Also had a lot of great assistant coaches  who worked very hard and to this day mean a lot to me,  THANKS SO MUCH....
Football is a great game and I loved it very much and it was good to me, teaches you a lot of lessons that can only be learned on the field.....

As most of you'll know I have been battling cancer the last few years, had surgery to remove a spot on my lungs about three weeks ago, things went well, they had to take a rib out to get in there to the spot and I have been a little sore over that but I still get out and try to walked a couple of miles each day.....Last night one of my friends called and said that this lady whom I knew well from taking chemo treatments had passed away, my thought and prayers are with her family....We need to realize that good health is a gift from God and we should be thankful , also don't take life for granted , use each day to it's fulllest and enjoy the time we have here on this earth....Have received so many cards and calls from friends, former players and students wishing me the best, it has truly been a blessing to me in hearing from them.....Remember a saying I heard many years ago at FCA Conference, "You only one life, will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last".  There is a lot of truth to that, just a challenge to let your light shine before others so that they might see what life is all about.....
Coach you taught me alot about life more than football. What you taught me in football transended into my life practices. Everytime i start something i always have the attitude that i am gonna be the best at it or die trying. You as well as the assistants on your staff like coach Shempert would never let us quit on ourselves and told us we were better than the other team. I would like to personally thank you for that and will be praying for your health to improve.

That is true, had a appointment with my Doctor on Wednesday about the results of Pet Scan, everything looked good, no hot spots, PTL.......they put me on maintenance program, takes about fifty minutes and I go in every three weeks, not bad and this gives me a better chance of the cancer not coming back....... will be four years in November, has been a battle , lots of up and downs, thanks for all your "PRAYERS",  HAS BEEN A BLESSING .....KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS...

That cancer didn't know it was in for a fight against a ball coach who doesn't like to lose. It doesn't stand a chance.

Yes Sir, Coach! Love this time of year but it flys tooooo fast every year. Those that attend games, think about volunteering in your program IF you have time and desire to help. There are always plenty of opportunities to help. I like to help on the press box when i have the time to do it. Hope you continue to get well Coach! You to Pervis!!

That is good news Coach! More prayers from the Delta for you and your family.

Hey coach, I haven't seen you in several years but I hope you continue to improve.  Played for you on the 04 team.  You touched a lot of peoples lives and helped to make them good men.  I speak for all of us from the 04 state team, thank you for all that you did and you will always be in our prayers.  Hopefully, I will see you soon watching the jackets.

When I read this I laughed out loud......I was lucky enough to have two sons play for ''THE GENERAL''.......and I also was fortunate to be on the sidelines all the time Coach was in Wynne........I heard lots of sayings and quotes from Coach and kinda took him for granted. He was one of the best in the state and he was in Wynne and we were better for it. My oldest son played for Coach in ''96'' ''97'' and ''98''. My youngest was lucky enough to play on the 2001 team and see us win State that year, but as fate would have it neither one played on the ''99'' and ''2000'' teams which I still say were two of the best teams I had ever seen on a football field.......both losing out in the 3rd round to Alma and Hope and I think they both went on to win state too. My oldest came in one day and as usual I asked him how practice had gone since I couldn't make it by to watch them that day......( some days you could count as many as 80 cars parked and watching the JACKETS practice ). He said it was ok but they had run a play a bunch that day .....he said he had run that play for six years since the 7th grade.....''I know what and where everyone's blocking assignment is and can do it in my sleep''. I said ''what was the problem then'' and he said ''when we ran it about 6 or 7 times I asked some guys in the huddle how many times we had run it and everyone said the same....so I started counting and we ran it 22 more times''. After running it over and over and over either someone wasn't blocking the right guy or the guard wasn't pulling fast enough or the back was to deep in the backfield.........Coach would say the same thing.....''RUN IT AGAIN''!!!!!!  Finally my son said ( and he doesn't embellish as much as I do) ,  Coach said, '' forget it you dumbheads we will run again tomorrow till we get it right '',and they did and they did get it right. Coach I enjoyed seeing you and Chris Friday nite and you looked great.......Cancer had no idea what it was doing by coming to your front door. Hope you can come back to the CF game this week so you can set up in the pressbox and eat some of Chris Y's burnt popcorn........HAHA
