ALLEN PARK, Mich. — In a rare, but brief session with local media on Wednesday, Detroit Lions owner Sheila Hamp expressed frustration with the team's 1-5 start to the season, while also backing the team's rebuild process and the leadership guiding the franchise through it.
"I know this is difficult; our rebuild is hard, but we really believe in our process," Hamp said. "We really believe we're going to turn this thing around the right way, through the draft. It requires patience. It's frustrating. Am I frustrated? Absolutely. Are the fans frustrated? Absolutely.
"I think we really are making progress," Hamp continued. "We've seen it. It's just this was a huge teardown and then turnaround. We're only one-third of the way through the season; we've got 11 more games to go, so I just don't want everyone to push the panic button and give up on the ship, because I think we've got the right people in place to pull this off. I truly believe that and I wouldn't say that if I didn't believe it."
