I'd milk one more year out of him in 2014. You can still try to sell the 2011 playoff appearance to the fan base. If you wait until after 2014 to change coaches, you're one year closer to getting out of cap hell. If you change coaches now, it's auto failure for the next guy. Stafford isn't an NFL quarterback.

Exact same situation in Dallas with Garrett, except that I feel his decision making is actively part of the problem. Dallas can milk a rebuilding year out of him, but they have to change before they compete.

Schwartz ended what 0-4? They should have had control of that division with the Bears and Green Bay floundering. Schwartz convinced me in the last month he is horrible. He challenges Shanny and Garrett and I think may have my top spot as worse coach in the league.

He needed to put Stafford on the bench, and he can't be let off the hook for that. But by not doing so, he took a huge bullet for his organization. I hope everyone realizes that.

The Lions are a bad franchise.
