Happiest day for Lions fans

In a story that is making the hearts and minds of many Detroit Lions Fan extremely happy, the long time President and CEO Matt Millen has been fired by the Lions. Millen was hired by owner William Clay Ford in 2001 as a way of trying something new. When he was brought on it really made numerous fans think they wanted to win, but after three fired coaches, drafting three wide-receivers three straight years in the first round, horrible drafting overall, it was something that was long overdue. Tom Lewand, who is the chief operation officer, will be interim President, Martin Mayhew, will be acting general manager, and Chedric Saunders has been promoted to vice president of football operations. Head coach Rod Marinelli will stay in place for the rest of the year it appears, his future is uncertain, but it is almost clear Marinelli will be gone once a new GM/President is hired.

Millen was 31-84, in his 7 years at the helm of the Lions. Mike O'Hara the long time Lions beat writer has a very good commentary on the future and past of the program.
