Millen can't pick talent. He has business being a G.M. If he has a SHRED of decency, he will resign the minute the season ends.
The WRs are spoiled, rich brats who have NO work ethic.
The O-line is just not good.
Mariucci is a class guy; however, he was too laid back with this team. Didn't push hard enough on his young, lazy players.
The owner just doens't know football, which is why he hired Millen.
If they do hire someone who knows football and can turn this franchise around, it'll be pure luck.
I'm not sure it would be pure luck.
There's some talent on this team - but for one reason or another, they can't get it together.
The right coach could make it work. But he'd have to do some serious ego-cracking with a few players.
I am just old enough to remember coach George Wilson taking over the team in 1957 and winning the championship.
It's been a long dry spell.
It was a black day in Detroit when the Fords took over the team in 1961. Would you buy a car from a company that hasn't produced a decent team since 1962? It really makes you wonder about their product.
Sixty years of incompetence.
