Fire Jim Schwartz already

[Speedy88]

Lions have some talent, but they have so many problems.

[bettilimbroke999]

Fire the guy that helped turn the program around. Go ahead.

A 4 win season is turning the program around roflmao

You can buy players (like Stafford, Johnson etc) and have them coached by a monkey and "turn around" a program to 4 wins...Schwartz is garbage but so is the team and the city so its all good

Congrats on 4 wins Schwartz keep up the good work

[paranoyd androyd]

7 losses in a row for schwartz now. 1 more and he's likely gone. never seen a head coach do less with more.

[easyliving]

Have heard from multiple sources that they will bring him back next year. Another year down the drain if they decide to do so.

[Harold Baines]

He's not going anywhere. He just signed a three year extension before the season, and no way that the Fords will pay him $9 million to sit home.

[Wilfred]

Yeah they are reporting now he signed a 3 year extension before the year. Fords don't care about winning whatsoever.

[easyliving]

playing in a division where 2 teams have had their starting quarterback miss multiple games, while Minnesotta has started 3 different quarterbacks on the season yet the Lions are a full game out first place? This team simply has too much talent to be a .500 team. If they don't make the playoffs he will be gone for sure.

[thechaoz]

Show how key coaching is in the NFL. If they had Harbaugh (woohoo we got em) they would be insanely better with their talent. Keep him, keep being the GM Jerry Jones, everyone keep your shit and make it easier on the rest of us.

[smitch124]

I hear Millen is coming back as GM as well. Need to find a good WR in the 1st round.

[Capper1124]

I agree. Pathetic play calling last night

[ERBtheGREAT]

So much wasted talent with this team. Horrible coach.

[Grits n' Gravy]

If he was Jewish he could be in senior management or own a team. Instead he is going to be interviewing for new job next year. Team's general stupidity has to be on head coach's radar or he is the true dummy. They need a Parcells in charge of everything.

Dumbest statement I've heard this football season
.

Lol

[easyliving]

[MUHerd37]

[packerd_00]

Vegas even tried to give the lions the win. They did not want t pay out on packer or bear division bets to start the season. The fumble that wasn't a fumble, and the penalties on the giants late in the game and overtime. Only the lions could still not win after the books had given it to them. I'm sick.

They lost 5 of there last 6 games,I just cant get my head around it.

Last 7 Lions head coaches: Schwartz 27-36; Marinelli 10-36; Mariucci 15-28; Mornhinweg: 5-27; Ross: 27-30; Fontes 66-67; Rogers 18-40.

We are well aware. Fukkin disgrace.

I feel ya, dawg. I feel ya.

Cowboys will be similarly eliminated about this time next week.

[VegasInsider]

They need a tough coach like Cower or Gruden. I'd love to see Chucky go there and lay the hammer down. He'd be cutting players left and right....and you'd better believe Suh would have a one strike policy. Trade him, fukk it.

[jjgold]

He is a Jerkoff
If not him stafford has to go

They both had enough time

Hands-down the worst franchise in all of pro sports. Complete laughingstock.

[Deuce]

12 million if they fire Jim. Won't happen. Stafford needs less control over offense.

Because 12 million is a lot for an NFL franchise?

If they want to get rid of this dipshit, they will.

Stafford's a bigger problem, though.

[Jago2008]

Being a Chargers fan and spending 5 years with the schmuck that is Norv Turner as a HC, I can completely understand Detroit fans sentiment.

McCoy has refreshed this Chargers organization, as well as Telesco.

A regime change might help, but it just seems like this franchise is cursed. Playing with "house money" the last several weeks - with the injuries to Rodgers and Cutler and still can't capitalize?! What a joke.

Lions have lost on a 62 yard FG, and 45 yd FG in B2B weeks....

[slacker00]

Lions were given the division on a silver platter, they didn't want it. NFL should let AZ have NFC North's playoff spot.

[rcene]

This is the Lions we are talking about. They kept Matt Millen around past his expiration date.

I'm afraid its true. You see incompetence begets incompetence. Not only do the Lions have a horrible coach, they're the only team in the NFL that has lost money each of the last four seasons. So its entirely possible they can't afford to fire Schwartz, let alone pay top dollar for a replacement. If we're lucky, now that we're no longer capped out like crazy we can get some depth in the secondary. And really if anyone needs to go its Linehan. Horrible playcaller and he's ruining Stafford by not fixing that stupid sidearm throwing motion that gets so many drops, INTs, and batted balls.

He's gone for sure.

Three corners going down didn't help this year.

I doubt Schwartz survives this shitstorm given the way they collapsed.

Exciting season again, his players are too roided up always taking dumb penalties. Stafford should go if he can't advance with such quality receivers, put Brady on Detroit they're an instant contender.

Outside of Megatron who exactly are their quality receivers? I've seen so many dropped passes it's not even funny. Commentators every week complaining about how they're leading the league in dropped passes. Stafford sucked these last few games but his WRs haven't been doing him any favors this season or last season. It's disgusting all those dropped balls.

This is an excellent point. Lions should really draft an impact WR to take pressure off Megatron and Stafford.
