Re: Matt Millen is OUT as Lions GM and President
He shouldn't have been hired in the first place. I guess Ford JR's comments got through to his dad. They do deserve better and I hope they go out and get a real GM. In the end Det. just doesn't have players. Especially on defense.

Re: Matt Millen is OUT as Lions GM and President
I wonder if Martin Mayhew takes over for now. From one former Redskin to another

Re: Matt Millen is OUT as Lions GM and President
Now the Raiders can hire their next coach after Kiffin is fired. I can hear Al Davis say: This is our new coach Matt Millen, a lifelong Raider.

Re: Matt Millen is OUT as Lions GM and President
the move had to be made, eventually, i suppose. i can't help but wonder if it will make a difference though. in the nearly 20 years that i’ve been following nfl football, this organization has done nothing of note besides draft a hall of fame running back and ride him to ZERO playoff victories.
millen did nothing to help this organization in his time at the helm. but i, for one, do not place its futility on his shoulders. much less can i consider his termination (or resignation) as an improvement. the common link throughout the years is the ownership. i don’t know what exactly they’ve been doing wrong for, oh, the last 50 years. but until a change happens at the head, the feet will probably keep tripping over each other.

Re: Matt Millen is OUT as Lions GM and President
No surprises with this move, I thought it would have taken place earlier.
As a former Redskin, I wish Mr. Millen good fortune in his future endeavors. |
