On Wednesday, Detroit Lions owner Sheila Hamp took it upon herself to address the media during practice to address how disappointing the team has been through 1.5 years under coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes.
While Hamp made certain to express her own frustrations with the lack of wins, her message was mostly positive. She unequivocally threw her support behind the current regime and stressed that this was going to be a long process because the Lions were not just rebuilding, but they had to tear down before that.
Given that this team has historically hidden their owners in the shadows, only to be heard from every few years, I wanted to break down my thoughts about Hamp’s gesture and what she had to say.
