Description
The Detroit Lions are entering a new era with Richard Haddad stepping in as their next president and CEO, starting September — a move that signals bold leadership for the 2026 season. Haddad, a Michigan native and former Pistons COO who helped bring the WNBA back to Detroit, brings deep local roots and proven success. He’ll work directly with owner Sheila Hamp, inheriting a franchise hungry for championships. With Rod Wood’s exit after 11 seasons, Haddad is ready to build on recent momentum, blending operational savvy with fan-first passion to steer the Lions toward sustained greatness.
