Lions president needs to go
The Detroit Lions have chewed up and spit out another head coach. Detroit fired Steve Mariucci and replaced him, on an interim basis, with defensive coordinator Dick Jauron. The wrong person got fired.
Let's take a look at the coaches the Lions have had over the years:
*Marty Mornhinweg was fired after posting a 5-27 record with the Lions.
*Mariucci was shown the door after going 15-28.
*Jauron had a 35-46 record as Chicago's head coach from 1999-2003.
Why is team president Matt Millen still around? Since he took over in 2001, Detroit is 20-55, the worst record in the league during that period. Millen hired Mariucci and Mornhinweg. On top of that, Millen crafted the crappy team that Mariucci inherited after leaving San Francisco.
With such great decision-making, it's no wonder this team has only one playoff victory since 1957.
