Dan Campbell defends Sheila Ford Hamp’s involvement with team

Last week, Chris Spielman raised some eyebrows when he mentioned the role that Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp had played thus far in their offseason meetings.

“Well, Sheila has been involved by being in all these personnel meetings. She sat in two days of offensive free agency meetings and defensive free agency meetings,” Spielman told local radio station 97.1 The Ticket.

Some were concerned that Hamp could be meddling, seeing as the Lions already have a general manager (Brad Holmes), an assistant general manager (Ray Agnew), senior VP of football and business administration (Mike Disner), a senior personnel executive (John Dorsey) and a head coach (Dan Campbell) in on personnel decisions.
