Of course nothing will ever change as long as Ford is the owner. What decent coach would ever want to coach in Detroit, it's where coaching careers go to die.

Herm Edwards should be toast also.

They need to fire Harrington, too. He sucks.

We haven't had a QB since Bobby Layne (before I was even born).

Its NOT Mooches fault! Tell the Ford family to sell the team to people that want to WIN. Millen is the biggest problem of all in that organization.

A more startling headline would be:

"Lions do not fire Steve Mariucci"

Bring on the next huge disappointment!

Maybe they'll resign Mooch as starting quarterback.

I don't know about that...

Herm has had to use FIVE different QB's this season. And the Jets have other major injuries on top of that.

NO ONE could win with that kind of luck.

I heard Edwards might replace Vermeil in KC when Vermeil retires. No coach can overcome the kinds of injuries the Jets have had this year.

How does Matt Millen still have a job? Didn't he draft Harrington and those under achieving receiving core?

Herm Edwards isn't going anywhere. It's not his fault that the team has gone through 5 QBs, lost most of the Offensive Line, and Chrebet. He'll get a pass.

Different sport. But then again, has Bowman coached since leaving the Red Wings? :)
