The Detroit Lions desperately need to course correct, starting the year out with a disappointing 1-5. The start has been so bad that owner Sheila Hamp felt the need this week to step in front of the media and provide a vote of confidence in the current regime to the fanbase.
“I know this is difficult. Our rebuild is hard, but we really believe in our process,” Hamp said Wednesday. “We really believe in–we’re going to turn this thing around the right way, through the draft. It requires patience.”
Patience is a tough thing to sell to fans who have been waiting 65 years.
