Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell didn’t hold back when praising team owner Sheila Hamp during a media session on Wednesday. As the Lions continue their incredible 12-1 season, Campbell emphasized the pivotal role Hamp’s leadership plays in the team’s success.
“In my opinion, without the right ownership, it’s hard to achieve success and sustain it,” Campbell said. “We have the right ownership, and Sheila’s outstanding. She gives us everything we need, is very supportive, and speaks her mind with me, which I appreciate.”
Campbell highlighted Hamp’s balance of support and honesty, noting that her direct communication creates a strong foundation for their relationship. This open dialogue between the head coach and owner fosters the kind of positive environment that has helped the Lions thrive this season.
Under Hamp’s leadership, the Lions have turned into a powerhouse, achieving their best start in franchise history. Campbell’s acknowledgment of her contributions underscores how critical ownership is to maintaining success and building a winning culture.
As Detroit eyes its first-ever Super Bowl appearance, the partnership between Campbell and Hamp remains a cornerstone of the team’s strategy, proving that strong leadership at every level is key to sustained excellence.
