Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell did not hold back his admiration for the team's owner, Sheila Hamp, during his media session on Wednesday. Campbell, who has led the Lions to an impressive 12-1 start this season, emphasized the critical role that strong ownership plays in the team's success.
Importance of Ownership
“In my opinion, without having the right ownership, it’s hard to get to a point where you can have success and sustain it,” Campbell said as quoted by Justin Rogers. “I think it’s very hard. So, we have the right ownership, and Sheila’s outstanding, she gives us everything we need, she is very supportive, and she speaks her mind with me, and I appreciate that.”
Support and Communication
Campbell highlighted Hamp's unwavering support and open communication as key elements that contribute to the Lions' success. The head coach's appreciation for Hamp's direct and honest approach underscores the strong relationship they share, which in turn fosters a positive and productive environment for the entire organization.
Under Hamp's ownership, the Lions have seen a resurgence, with Campbell steering the team to its best start in franchise history. As the Lions continue their march towards a Super Bowl, the synergy between Campbell and Hamp remains a cornerstone of their strategy and success.
With a focus on maintaining this momentum, Campbell's acknowledgment of Hamp's role serves as a reminder of the impact that effective leadership and ownership can have on a team's performance and culture.
