In a historic turn of events, the Detroit Lions have announced that franchise icon and beloved former head coach Dan Campbell will return in 2025—not to the sidelines, but to the owner’s suite. Sheila Ford Hamp and the Ford family have confirmed that Campbell will join the ownership group as a co-owner, marking a new era of leadership for the team.
Campbell, often hailed for reigniting the Lions’ competitive spirit during his coaching tenure, has been a central figure in the team’s recent resurgence. Known for his fiery passion, gritty leadership, and unbreakable bond with players and fans alike, Campbell’s return is more than symbolic—it’s a commitment to culture, legacy, and long-term excellence.
“This isn’t just a homecoming. It’s a full-circle moment,” Hamp said. “Dan has always embodied what it means to be a Lion. Now he helps shape our future.”
Sources indicate Campbell will take an active role in football operations, culture building, and community initiatives. As Detroit continues its quest for sustained success, the return of their legendary lineman-turned-coach-turned-owner may be the ultimate catalyst. The roar in Motown just got a whole lot louder.
