Reports are coming in that Matt Millen is leaving his position as GM of the Detroit Lions. This would similar to a pilot resigning after he has crashed five planes. Meaning yes it is a good thing that he is gone, but it is about four years to late. If it wasn't for the Al "The Crypt Keeper" Davis turning the Raiders into a circus the Lions would get more attention as one of the worse franchises in the NFL.
One stat that sums up the Millen era:
The Lions are 8-50 in there last 58 road games.
Let me repeat that the Lions are 8-50 in there last 58 road games.
The fact that he has lasted as long as he has explains why the Lions are garbage. They can't blame Mike Martz for getting behind 21-0, 21-0 & 21-3 in their first three games of the season. That is a poorly coach and organized team. While Millen isn't entirely to blame he brought in all the players and the coach so a lot of blood is on his hands.
I would congratulate the Lions on doing the right thing, but since it took them so long it proves that they have no idea how to run a professional organization. No wonder Barry retired early.
funny
isn't your home team the Rams?
