Dan Campbell did not receive a Super Bowl ring from the New Orleans Saints[edit]

The Saints eventually chose to award rings to everyone "who depends upon the success of the team to keep their jobs." Everyone, as Loomis put it, "in the line of fire."

It's hard to argue with the final selection process. Every full-time employee received a ring. Contractual laborers such as the in-game entertainment, broadcast teams and stat crews didn't make the cut.

They were a few exceptions.

The entire medical staff received rings. And that seems fair. After all, they are not full-time employees, but they most definitely are full-time team members. They fly on the team plane, dress in the team's locker room and wear team-issue gear on the sideline. They are directly responsible for the health and welfare of the players.

The club was more subjective with the players. Every player on the active roster during the season got one.

The Saints also rewarded selected players on the practice squad and injured reserve. For instance, Billy Miller and Mark Simoneau received rings. They stuck around all season, spent time in the locker room and in meetings and attended most of the games. Dan Campbell, who also was placed on injured reserve in the preseason and was rarely seen again, did not. That's fair.

Dan Campbell no ring in NOLA or NYC[edit]

It is true that Dan Campbell did not receive a ring with the New Orleans Saints, because he never played a down. I believe that he did go to the Super Bowl when he was with the New York Giants. He did not get a ring because the Giants lost the game. Neverdielionsfan (talk) 11:48, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
