No surprise here. SOMEONE needed to be blame for the teams problems because it is NEVER, EVER managements fault....

Marinnelli firing ...
Did anyone think he would survive this year ???

being the 1st coach to go 0-16 he'll never be a head coach again in this league. thrown in there the others that have 1 or 2 wins in a season.it's hard to justify that

LMAO! No sh**!! The question really was, would they wait until they landed in Detroit or tell him to pay his way home....

Rey,
Can you list ANY Lions Head coach that has been fired that was hired as a HC again ....

I think a few coaches back they said it has not happened ...ever.

That is truly where Head Coaches go to die !

I think he will be back in the league as a D Coordinator , not next year, but in a few years.
Looking at Detroit's D is no way to tell what the guy can do as a DC.

What took so long! He should have been fired in the 4th quarter yesterday.

Hard to say if that's true. I think Cam Cameron will eventually get another chance as a head coach. He was really swimming upstream with the Dolphins.

I really don't think he should. He's a good offensive coordinator and that's pretty much it. Players tend to step all over him. He's a good guy don't get me wrong but that doesn't always fly in the NFL.

Millen....gets to collect his five million and wash his hands of this mess he built

There are some guys that aren't good head coaches....

Just one that I know of - Dick Jauron. He was named as 'interim' Lions HC in 2005 - the team was 1-4 under him. He was offered the Bills HC job the following season.
