Lions president Wood says team is breaking status quo

Allen Park — Rod Wood stood in front of 70-80 Lions employees at Ford Field in March.

In his first few months as the team’s president, Wood made sweeping changes — firing executives and junior employees as he changed the structure of business operations — so he gathered the new and remaining staff to discuss the situation.

Despite the sweeping changes since last November, Wood believes morale is high, but admits he’d be the last to hear.

“It’d be far easier on everybody to just leave everything the status quo,” Wood said last week.
