Until they sell the team (which, let's be honest, will never happen), I don't expect anything to change in Detroit.

We only need $900,000,000.00 to buy the team from the Fords ourselves. I can start a Kickstarter or GoFundMe page and put in the first $20. Who's with me? Only $899,999,980 left to go!

Lions haven't drafted a Pro-Bowl player in the past 5 drafts. No player they drafted in 2010-2011 is on their roster today.

. . . no more M&Ms either.

coach the Lions? They are a coaching graveyard. Once you coach the Lions, your career is OVER.
November 5th, 2015 at 1:46 PM ^
Neither Martha nor Junior are calling the shots. And I am certain a big-gun outsider is already on stand-by. Let's at least see who that is before we start complaining again. There will be a new coach and GM in early January.

Not the junior high schoolers? Matt Stafford needs Mouse Davis. With that arm he should be slinging the ball all game Lion's waste another talented player.

own this franchise, it's not going anywhere. I have tried following these guys for almost 40 years. Give me a break. Let them keep building cars because they have zero clue on running a football team. NONE!!!

I don't know if I should be extremely happy, or extremely worried. This could be a sign of good times, or end times..

The real problem is it's still the same ownership. You'll continue to see the same results regardless of who is hired to replace them.
November 5th, 2015 at 2:47 PM ^
I hope they don't bring in Polian and keep Caldwell.

DON'T YOU PUT THAT HATE ON ME, RICKY BOBBY

All these people saying John Harbaugh have got the wrong Harbaugh. I think Jim is going to take the job in addition to his job at Michigan. Coach two teams at the same time? "Impossible!" you say. But let's not forget that this is the same man who proposed wearing two Halloween costumes for double the candy. Winning a Super Bowl? Lots of coaches have done that. Winning a college football national championship? Again, lots of coaches have done that. Winning both? A smaller subset, to be sure, but it has been done. Winning both at the same time? That is a job for the world's most interesting man, Jim Harbaugh.

*in transparency, I am a Browns "fan" - and I use that term loosely. They are a hot, shit-filled diaper in a tire fire. My words.

Now that the Lions have hit the reset button, I would say the Browns.
By the way... I am sick of seeing post after post bitching about the Ford family. They aren't going anywhere. Might as well bitch that the Lions should move back to the Silverdome.

about the Lions, on the Michigan Insider radio show tomorrow Oh well half a show is better than no show at all like the rest of sport radio in Metro Detroit..

that there are two things that have remained unchanged during the trials and tribulations of the Lions over the past 50 years. The Fords owning the Lions and losing, those are the only things that have not changed. Coachs, players, salary caps, stadiums, locations, style of play those are some off the top of my head that HAS changed. That is a very powerful indictment of their incompetance or there neglect. There was a time where the Salary cap was very high and if you spent to the top of that salary cap you had a very very good team. Well the Fords had plenty of reasons why they did not have to spend that kind of money to become a team that can compete.
So you will have to forgive us Ford haters because we believe that if the Fords were not so money hungry years ago they could have brought a team to Detroit that this city could have been proud of instead we wear bags over our faces and tell each other jokes. Like the one about the guy who went into the 7-11 and left his pair of tickets to the Lions game on his dashboard then when he came out he found another pair of tickets laying there.

They need to nuke the entire organization and start over.
November 5th, 2015 at 9:11 PM ^
an impressive visual.
November 5th, 2015 at 9:31 PM ^
If they were to move to another city. We could get a new expansion team and start fresh !
