According to Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press, Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp released an internal memo to her employees on Monday regarding the team’s general manager and head coaching search.
In the memo, Ford Hamp noted that she wants to find “proven” replacements for Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn and that the search will “play out over the next six weeks.”
From Detroit Free Press:
“This staffing change brings lots of work with it, (which) Rod and I and our advisors take very seriously,” Hamp said in her letter. “We are already deeply into researching top candidates for head coach and GM, and, as the recent internal memo stated, have already interviewed several in-house candidates for the GM job. This process will play out over the next six weeks or so, with the result being a well vetted and proven head coach/GM team that can finally take the Lions where we all so earnestly wish to go — to the top!”
Nation, who would you like to see the Lions hire?
What qualifies Sheila and Rod to chose a head coach. It’s sickening to watch ultra rich people use a thing like a professional sport as a hobby or some kind of play thing for their entertainment when these men on this team have sacrificed so much, blood sweat and tears to get to this point in their career only to have some trust fund spoiled brat treat the team like a play toy. Rod ? Gave Rod his job because he’s a family friend and financial advisor ? Sickening. Add Stafford to the endless list of unreal superstars that wasted away here in Detroit. Hopefully they don’t piss on him on his way out the door like they did Megatron. Sickening
What qualifies Rod Wood? How about 5 years as an NFL team president.
Please being a life long lion fan I’m praying you hire the right man for the job no more one a done guys do the research I just wanna be able to watch a lion game in late January and hear ford field rocking please do right for all the hurting lions fans nation wide. Sincerely yours,.
