The Lions can't do anything right. A full season of losing, and they manage to win their last game to lose the first overall pick. Six seasons well below .500, many squandered draft picks, and a very discontent fan base is still enough to allow Matt Millen to keep his job as team president. Move over James Dolan, we have found a more incompetent franchise owner. Lions owner William Clay Ford is set on retaining the league's most ineffective leader over the past six years. Despite snapping his streak of selecting a wide receiver in the first round of the draft for three straight years, the Lions resided at the bottom of the NFC North for the fourth time during Millen's tenure. They've won a meager 24 games over that time. That's only four a season. No other team has matched that level of futility in the same time period.
In the past two seasons fans have staged walkouts during the team's final home game, yet this man keeps his job. Just yesterday Jim Mora got fired two seasons after reaching an NFC championship game and Dennis Green's three year stay in Arizona is over despite his impressive coaching credentials. Apparently Ford didn't get the memo that the NFL is a win now league. There is good news in Detroit; Tigers' pitchers and catchers report to training camp at the end of next month to defend their AL pennant.
