Matt was a great Linebacker, but made the mistake of believing his own BS.

Matt was a great linebacker, and those who met him out here, liked him.

Having said that, what skills did Matt have to land the job he apparently no longer has?

The Lions front office has never really cared about the fans or winning....anything!
As long as they fill the seats and make money, they will never care how badly the Lions are. They've never really had a "team". Every now and then they'll pick up a potential superstar from the college draft and say they'll build a franchise around him, but all they really do is ruin someone's career.
Look at the Wings, Pistons, and the Tigers. At one point they were in bad shape, but they were bought by people who care and want to win, and they did!

Pre-GM Matt was doing a report on training camp for NFL refs and was in full striped uniform behind the defensive line at a 49 ers practice

wide receiver cuts across the middle and Matt dipped his shoulder and tripped up the wide-out

pretty endearing to myself, very funny

this Bear fan is sad to see him go, the Lions will only get better without him.

Oh Noooooooo!
With Millen there it was two guaranteed Bear wins. Man, I sure hope they hire someone just as incompetent.

(Hmm, what's Wanny up to these days?)

How in the Hell did a former linebacker and sports analyst become a GM?? Correct me if I’m wrong, but Millen had zero executive experience. Lions should have hired Ron Wolf like GB did, and get rid of those stupid royal blue uniforms, the 2nd ugliest uniforms in the NFL after the Seahawks.

Poor Lions fans have had to suffer with his teams for a long time.

Fire Kitna and give Dan Orlovsky a chance to QB that team — of course, I doubt if you had Eli Manning as QB, they couldn’t win.
