Chandler’s Cross, England — Lions players, coaches and executives are all responsible for the 1-6 start this season. Yet, after most of the losses, coach Jim Caldwell would shoulder the blame publicly.
In his first media address since the season began, general manager Martin Mayhew spent some time pointing the finger at himself for the team’s issues, but used more time to express his confidence in the Lions as they try to recover.
Mayhew said he drafted, signed or extended every player on the roster, so he believes they can contribute. He also was instrumental in hiring Caldwell, and still believes the coach is the right man to turn the season around.
