See Red Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Too bad for Mooch.They need to get rid of Joey Harrington.Picking Mike Williams didn't help, either. Anyone else think they'd be better had they taken Demarcus Ware? That team seems hopeless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCBoy Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Too bad for Mooch.They need to get rid of Joey Harrington.Picking Mike Williams didn't help, either. Anyone else think they'd be better had they taken Demarcus Ware? That team seems hopeless to me. I'm still scratching my head at the Mike Williams draft choice the Lions made. The WR position shouldn't have been a priority before defence. Any defensive player drafted would've helped this team a lot, weather it be Ware, Spears, Merrimen, D.Johnson or T.Johnson. Heck, drafting Jamaal Brown would've been a better choice. The thing that gets me is, Detroit signed Kevin Johnson 3 or 4 days before the draft! Going into the draft, although injury prone they had: Roy Williams, Charles Rogers, Kevin Johnson and they had Hakim still at that time as well! Such talent at the WR position and still no offence. Blame it on Harrington. But Mariucci has to take a lot of the blame too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCHitman Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Blame Millen for the draft strategies.As for Mooch, I like the guy and think this team can win 9 games under his direction next year. However, he seems to have lost the team. They certainly didn't seem motivated to play on Thursday and it's their one big game of the year. It may be time to go in another direction if you ask this Lions fan. Owner of Kalamazoo Tech Kobras (Nat'l College Fant. Assc.

quantum Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Mariucci is a good coach and will have a job soon after being fired. As for Harrington, I think he needs to go to a different team to succeed. I think the attitudes and frailty of the WRs makes the situation so much worse.Then Ford should fire Matt Millen.

TFoA Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Millen and Harrington are the reasons that Detroit are in that super-funk right now. If anybody, they should be sent packing.But then again, who knows what to do. They haven't won any sort of anything since '57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 It may not happen now but I think they are both (Millen and Mariucci) gone at the end of the year. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaolinaJoe Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Millen should be fired well before Mariucci. Millen was the one who wanted Harrington and Mooch was against this from practically the beginning. Also Millen acts like he is the coach and talking to player and telling them what to do and such, it's just stupid. Although it's easy to say the Mariucci is a players coach and isn't that aggressive towards them, and he should be fired do to this. Frankly, both should go but Millen is the main problem.Harrington will probably be the back-up QB next year, with either Garcia or a new quarterback at the starting position. Although if Millen hires someone who believes in Harrington as much as he does than Detroit is screwed. So Millen called Mariuuci in SF to get his opinion on drafting Harrington? I hate when people babble like they know something. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech.

Cujo Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I wonder if Mariuchi might like returning to the NFC West... To STL?? Come to think of it, they could swap coaches because Martz would be a great fit in Detroit with their offensive weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Instead of making them contenders, Matt Millen has single-handedly run this franchise into the ground. The team was already six feet under when Millen arrived. They were a Paul Edinger field goal (with Da Bears) away from going to the playoffs...I think.

I kinda remember that, but Charlie Batch would have been their QB then so it's not like people were ever expecting anything special from that team in the following year, especially with the Packers and Vikings in their division.

quantum Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Maybe Millen should coach. They're his draft choices. He should prove he was right about them being winners.
