All Lions: New Lions Owner Plans to Be 'Hands-On'

Sheila Ford Hamp’s plan is to get to know everything she can about the Lions organization.

Just a couple of hours into her tenure as the new primary owner of the Detroit Lions, Sheila Ford Hamp began to lay the groundwork for her new role.

Speaking with Detroit media via a Zoom conference call, Ford Hamp explained her vision for how she will run the organization.

“I plan to be very hands-on,” Ford Hamp said. “One of my first things I want to do is set up with Rod (Wood) some meetings with other parts of the organization that I really don’t know that well. I really want to take a deep dive and understand the whole thing.”

She explained that she will not make immediate or drastic changes until she is able to gain more knowledge regarding all facets of the Lions organization. 

“I don’t plan to meddle, but I plan to be informed enough so that I can make good decisions at the top,” Ford Hamp said.
