OT: Ken Whisenhunt to the Titans
January 13th, 2014 at 7:00 PM ^
Jk
But not really
January 13th, 2014 at 8:20 PM ^
so I've got that going for me, at least until next weekend.
Go Pats.

55 years of poo and counting: the Lions have botched yet another chance to make a good hire. The "smart money" is now on the Lions hiring the coach Whisenhut will replace in Tennessee, Mike Munchak.
Think the Tennessee fans will be laughing about that?

just when you thought the Lions may have turned a corner... the same old crap.
amazing.
January 13th, 2014 at 6:56 PM ^
As others have mentioned there is no sense in going after a hack of an NFL coach. Go after a successful college coach. Someone above mentioned Bob Stoops, I am down for that. Please just don't hire one of the three mentioned.

January 13th, 2014 at 7:05 PM ^
You mean like retroactively hire Vince Lombardi, Chuck Noll, Bill Walsh, and Bill Belichick and then claim that we won all of those Super Bowls?

Well if following up in a day or two doesn't work, I'd follow up in a year or two when the next search begins.

I bet the coaches see what the weather has been like in Michigan and said I am going to stay where it is warm.
The only reason a coach would not want to go to the Lions is either the weather or the actual city limits. Other then that it seems like it would be the best place for a coach. Lots of talent on both sides, great fans and an owner that does not have his finger on the trigger to fire after a couple bad seasons.
January 13th, 2014 at 7:08 PM ^
the Lions' ownership is NOT a plus but a huge part of the problem.
January 13th, 2014 at 7:14 PM ^
It is only a problem for the fans not the head coach. I agree that they have not done enough to make the lions successful, but the GM is much better then in the past and the owner is not standing next to the coach, like say a Jerry Jones, or the Washington redskins owner.

Sigh... Lion's gonna Lion

Oh but you aren't. You may think you are, but next fall, you'll be right back on that couch watching another glorious collapse.
January 13th, 2014 at 7:21 PM ^

So much talent, and so little to show for it.
January 13th, 2014 at 7:21 PM ^
January 13th, 2014 at 7:22 PM ^
I suppose there is always Plan B, but in comparison to what I would hope was Plan A....
January 13th, 2014 at 11:07 PM ^
Hire Worf, son of Mogh. yIruch!
January 14th, 2014 at 1:05 AM ^
January 13th, 2014 at 7:33 PM ^
When my heart finally expires, and the coffin is stuffed, I would like to have William Clay Ford, Tom Lewand, and Martin Mayhew be my pall bearers. It would not be a fitting exit without getting let down by Lions management one last time.
Here is the glorious list.
Monte Clark
Darryl Rogers
Wayne Fontes
Bobby Ross
Gary Moeller (Interim)
Marty Morhinweg
Steve Mariucci
Dick Jauron (Interim)
Rod Marinelli
Jim Schwartz
At least none of the glorious 10 shares a first name.
January 14th, 2014 at 12:26 AM ^
Your list is even better when you add Rick Forzano and Tommy Hudspeth. With the exception of Monte (RIP), I think they are all available.
January 13th, 2014 at 7:34 PM ^
January 13th, 2014 at 7:39 PM ^
So the guy the Lions are interested in is the offensive coordinator who beat them on MNF with six field goals? Thats awesome.
January 13th, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
January 13th, 2014 at 7:39 PM ^
January 13th, 2014 at 7:47 PM ^
All signs point to DERP
January 13th, 2014 at 7:47 PM ^
January 13th, 2014 at 8:00 PM ^
Oof. Oooooooooof.
Edit: If those are the choices, Kubiak honestly looks the best to me for the Lions. At least he had some success and developed Schaub pretty well, until it all went downhill.
January 13th, 2014 at 8:02 PM ^
He has had success in this league. Caldwell and Munchak are position coaches and nothing more.
January 14th, 2014 at 12:52 AM ^
January 14th, 2014 at 10:04 AM ^
January 13th, 2014 at 8:01 PM ^
January 13th, 2014 at 8:04 PM ^
I mean, the Lions could do something stupid like hire a coach from the Canadian league...
Wait, no, nevermind, no one would ever do that, nevermind me even remotely suggesting that.
January 13th, 2014 at 8:06 PM ^
Lions should call Schwartz back up and say that it was all a huge misunderstanding and that he needs to come into work tomorrow morning. I would rather have Schwartz than Caldwell, Munchak, or Kubiak.
January 13th, 2014 at 8:11 PM ^
Here is the "deal-breaker" for the Lions.
WCFJR: "We're going to start making the F-150 out of aluminium toward the end of this year."
Whisenhut: "YOU WHAT? YOU IGNORANT DOLT! IS THIS HOW YOU RUN THE LIONS, TOO?"
End of deal.
January 13th, 2014 at 8:22 PM ^
January 13th, 2014 at 8:23 PM ^
Rumors starting to circulate that Caldwell is the guy and he is bringing along, gulp, Jim Tressel as his offensive coordinator.
I might puke...
