Sheila Ford Hamp is going into her third season as Principal Owner of the Detroit Lions and from the sounds of things, she is very happy with the way things are going.
Ford Hamp recently sat down with Dannie Rogers to discuss the state of the team and what fans can expect from the rest of the offseason.
Sheila talked about how great of a job she believes head coach Dan Campbell is going and about the great assistant coaches he has brought in to teach the players.
Ford Hamp also spoke about how they want players who really want to play for the Detroit Lions and that is exactly the type of players they have signed and re-signed.
“Sticking to the plan is often hard,” Hamp told Rodgers. “You have the temptation to, ‘Oh, let’s go out and get this player,’ or ‘Let’s do that.’ That’s the way we want to build things. We want to build things with a solid foundation for the future so then we are consistently a terrific team.”
“Culture change was first and foremost in the search process in the first place,” Hamp continued. “To back it up to how we even ended up with Brad and Dan. Wanted it to be a much more sort of open, accessible, and collaborative atmosphere. What I find so heartening is we’re right in the middle of free agency, our players who are free agents want to come back here. Players want to be here and that’s a testament to Dan and his staff.”
Here is the interview.
