[bmw530i]

wow finally!

[Deuce]

When does Cowher start?

[Bread]

This will make Deuce and Robyn happy.

[fiveteamer]

Why Robyn?

Isn't she a Montreal Alouettes fan?

[Panic]

They should try to get Jimmy Johnson. Let him be the boss. He would leave broadcasting for that, IMO. Let him draft all those floridian players and build a dynasty.

[smitch124]

Getting blown out by the Niners sure to be the final straw

[daggerkobe]

Awwww that sux.

Really wanted to see them draft a WR for the 5th straight year.

They probably don't want any more T.V. guys.

[SBR Lou]

Talk about a long time coming.

[Bread]

God's team hath forsaken him.

[Panic]

They probably don't want any more T.V. guys.

Not just a TV guy. Won a national championship as a player and a coach. Won a super bowl as a coach. 1 of only 2 people to do that. Millian never had those kind of credentials. He was strictly a player. Jimmy Johnson knows how to draft and build a team.

hahahah

JJ does not want to give up his comfy and lucrative TV gig for Detroit. Plus he sucked with the Dolphins.

Won over 50% of his games with the Dolphins and took them to the playoffs and won a game there as well. What have the Dolphins done since? He was the last good coach they had. If the Ford family gave him complete control and alot of money, he'd take it.

[daggerkobe]

Why would he? He already makes millions working just an hour a week.

Dolphins went 11-5 the year after JJ resigned and won their division. Went 11-5 again the season after that.

They got those records with Johnson's players. Just like Switzer winning a Super bowl in Dallas with Johnsons players. But, regardless, you are probably right about him not leaving, but if I was the Ford family, I would go after him. At least give it a try, anyway.

[pico]

good. they should fire him long time ago

[daggerkobe]

Uh no it wasn't.

They lost quite a bit of players including Marino from the previous year. So with a new QB and a new coach they went 22-10 in the next two years, matching the playoff wins JJ had in 5 seasons.

Dagger, are really trying to tell me that Wannstedt is a better coach than Jimmy Johnson?

[daggerkobe]

He was a better coach with the Dolphins. With completely new players at QB & RB he went 11-5 in back to back seasons.

[Panic]

He was head coach in waiting under Johnson. How has Wannstedt faired when he hasn't had Jimmy Johnson to fall back on?

In Chicago he was 41-57

In Pittsburgh he has a reord of 16-19.

[bigboydan]

This is only about 5 years overdue. Maybe they will rehire Wayne Fontz.

[Panic]

And get Barry Sanders back. Best runner ever.

[daggerkobe]

What does his records with other teams have to do with anything?

So I guess Bill Belichick owes all those SBs to Pete Carroll since he sucked as Browns coach and won with his players with the Patriots.

Dave was the better Dolphins coach. He brought in brand new players at QB & RB and won the division.

[St.Aquinas]

Awwww that sux.

Really wanted to see them draft a WR for the 5th straight year.

I was thinnking the exact same thing Daggerkobe. He was horrible! You have to ask yourself, why did it take so long?

Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Matt Millen has been fired as president of the Detroit Lions after seven years and a National Football League-worst 31-84 record, FOXSports.com reported.

Millen learned of the firing last night and was packing his office and telling employees this morning, the News Corp. unit reported without saying where it got the information. Lions spokesman Matt Barnhart didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

The firing comes two days after Lions Vice Chairman William Clay Ford Jr. told reporters that Millen should leave his post. The Lions have the worst record in the 32-team league since Millen took over as president in 2001, and fans have staged protests against him and petitioned for his removal.

lol. Whatever you say, dagger. Have a nice day.

[Deuce]

8-50 on the road.

[St.Aquinas]

8-50 on the road.

This guy was a joke!

[treece]

Millen must be saying to himself "I didn't see this coming"

[FadeThePublic]

The dark clouds have been lifted and the sun is shining in Detroit today. The curse of Matt Millen is over. There is a GOD. Thank you

[Robyn]

Why Robyn?

Isn't she a Montreal Alouettes fan?

The news DID make me happy. Good and bad news comes in threes.

1. Resignation of Kwame Kilpatrick
2. Resignation/firing of Matt Millen
3. Retiring of Todd Jones

Detroit has hope yet...
