This wasn't suprising. Even if he survived this season, he would have been gone as soon as the season is over. I am shocked and dissapointed Steve Mariucci failed in Detroit. I thought he was the right guy for that team. I thought he was charismatic and intelligent in his time with the Niners. He did a great job rebuilding the Niners after taking salary cap hit. I am really suprised that he did not get the most out of the talent the Lions had especially offensively. I am sure he will get an opportunity to coach some team next year. Maybe the Raiders can hire him. He would be a great fit there.
I can understand the firing of Mariucci. He should have been fired because the team simply quit under him. My question is and I am sure everyone wants to know is how come Matt Millen is still going to be the GM. What the heck has he done to stay on? This franchise gotten worse under his stewardship. You realize the Lions miss a playoff spot thanks to Paul Edinger kicking the FG to give the Bears a win over the Lions and they haven't recovered since when Millen took over.
Lions fans deserve better than this. They are one of the most loyal fans in football and to see them suffer year in and year out is not fair. I don't know what to say. I wish I can say things will get better, but I can't. Being a Twins fan, I think I can relate.
