If the Ford Family really cares - the time is NOW for wooing either Lewis (Cincinnati) or Singletary (San Francisco) for the position of Lions Head Coach.
Likely too late for one/both of these gents. |

Jets Head Coach was fired too this morning. God, I hope WCF doesn't decide to hire him here. |

So this season begs the question which owner is the most senile/clueless: William Clay Ford of the Lions or Al Davis of the Oakland Raiders?
Remember Davis' firing of coach Lane Kiffin and subsequent press conference tirade earlier in the season. |

Raptor56,
Ford is definately the most clueless owner in the NFL. Say what you will about Al Davis but at least his teams have been to 4 Super Bowls and have won 3 of them. |

YAY!
That's 5 head coaches that the Ford Family fired in 14 years. Bring on more show horse coaches and Lions will lose another NFL season. |

Singeltary is staying in San Fran, Lewis is a train wreck in progress. Why would anyone want another unproven coach (Singeltary), or a coach (Lewis)that ran a once promising team with actuall talent into the shitter. |

No hope for the Lions until Ford sells the franchise. I don't care how many coaches and name players they bring in, nothing will change until the organization changes from the top down. They need to develop a "winning culture" in that locker room and these band-aid fixes will never accomplish that.
I thank Norris everyday for selling the Red Wings. Hopefully someday we can thank Ford for the same reason. Hopefully sooner, not later. |

Are the Lions paralleling the Tigers. Become one of the losingest teams ever, then play in the championship game 2 years later, and become a league power? |

Honestly it does not matter who they get as head coach, Without a huge overhaul in the player area no coach will help. |
