Wiliam Clay Ford is a bad owner. Wait, not just a bad owner, one of the worst owners in sports history, he proved that with his latest moves. Yesterday, the Lions gave us history. Rod Marinelli, as expected, was fired(the only right move by Ford). So, instead of cleaning house, and going outside the organization in an attempt to fix what is wrong in Detroit, Ford decided to promote from within an organization that has not won a playoff game since 1991, nor sniffed the playoffs since the departure of Barry Sanders, 10 years ago.
Settle in, Lions fans, nothing is going to change.

yeah, you gotta feel for the lions fans, especially when a change at the top can yield results like the dolphins and falcons enjoyed this year mikeychx(Quote)
Parcells has said he is most likely a FA, Piloli is interviewing everywhere. wtf is wrong with Ford? oh yeah, his company sucks too. sparty(Quote)
…and to think the Lions had all this time since Millen was fired to scout potential new GM’s and Presidents to run the team. john(Quote)
don’t worry, Lions fans. eventually they’ll have promoted, and then fired, everybody from within and there will be all new people in place. mizerle06(Quote)
bill parcells is the NFL equal of larry brown mikeychx(Quote)
I heard they’re hiring Rich Rodriguez. gatortrey(Quote)
Mikey-pretty good comparison, but I would say that Parcells judgment of talent is better. Brown wants to trade guys after a loss all the time. sparty(Quote)
That guy is just ugly and using the Lions as an excuse. Tampa Bo(Quote)
Assuming this new GM isn’t a complete waste, I actually think the Lions would be a pretty decent job for the right coach. john(Quote)
absolutely john. they won 7 games last year and expectations are low so he’d have a pretty long rope. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
1 win is an improvement. mizerle06(Quote)
unfortunately for anybody new (players, coaches, administration) next year, they will be judged by this year’s team. so, if they don’t win the first game of the season, it’ll be “here we go again.” mizerle06(Quote)
if they win it, there will be a parade down woodward. sparty(Quote)
