Detroit fans, your wish appears to have finally come true.
FOXSports.com has learned that the Lions have finally removed team president and GM Matt Millen from his post, unseating one of the most criticized executives in Detroit sports history.
Millen was informed of the move last night during a late-night high-level meeting. This morning several people within the building confirmed that he had large packing boxes in his office and he made his way around to different employees telling them of the move.
It is unclear if Millen was fired or removed himself from the equation but the news comes just days after Bill Ford, Jr. publicly stated he would have fired the GM if it was his decision but he lacked the authority to do so.
The Lions have started off horribly and the groundswell for Millen's demise has once again been strong. Unfortunately, that's nothing new as there have been events like the Millen Man March, an in-game walkout protest and calls for Millen's firing for years.
The Lions have won only one playoff game and are an NFL-worst 31-84 since Millen took over in 2001. They have also been a model of futility on the road and Millen has gone through three head coaches, none of whom have been able to turn the Lions into a winner. -

Not taking up for Millen by no means BUT nobodys job is safe when John Kitna is your QB.They have 2 good WR that are big and should be able to catch balls over anyone and Kitna can't even get it close to let his guys out jump the defender.They need a QB and a defense and they could be a decent team.Comment

This came 7 years to late.

You failed to mention their O line...he literally has no time to find these guys...have you watched any Lions games...he gets sacked at least once on almost every offensive possession...Originally posted by vols fanSOBER SINCE MARCH 28TH OF 2007!!!Comment

I agree the O line does need some help and yes I watched them play our 5'10 CB at Atlanta and that bastard couldn't even complete a pass.He threw a corner route to the endzone and Williams no doubt was a foot higher and Kitna overthrew it by 5 feet.He sucks.Bottom lineOriginally posted by Chado1Comment

To change the subject, how come Dombrowski, GM for the Tigers, doesn't get criticized more;the Tigers have quit, are pathetic and a total embarrassment and even more so considering their high payroll;other than one flukie year, they have been crappy for as long as I can remember;maybe Leyland isn't as great as everyone thinks.Last edited by savage1; 09-24-2008, 09:59 PM.Comment
