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.

Exactly, but the Lions ownwership is not football smart enough to know what coach/management can do that. Sure, they'll hire a guy they "think" will turn it around, just like they thought Millen would know what he was doing. If their next major hire is a great one, it won't be because they are football savvy, which is why I say it will be luck. They are just as likely to hire another nitwit.
