Come on Rob -- I posted the same thing at the same time, but I actually read the article. It isn't Mayhew -- it is the Lions organization since 2002 to present year. He definitely contributed, but Millen was responsible as well.

Nobody ever responds when I ask, but I'll ask again anyway, When was Mayhew first hired by the Lions to be part of the front office? Or better yet, to be a part of the franchise in general? (As I don't know his initial role/title.)

It's a serious question, that is important to my on going opinion of MMII as an executive.

I don't know the answer, but I do know that it isn't when he took over as Vice President.

Thank you in advance to the person, or persons who knowledgify me.

Agree, but Mayhew clearly just took over where Millen left off. No more saying Mayhew had nothing to do w those Millen years.

Assistant GM in 2004.

LIONS PROMOTE MARTIN MAYHEW TO ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER - Florida State Seminoles Official Athletic Site

Mayhew originally joined the Lions in February 2001 as one of Millen's major additions to the team's front office staff. He entered the organization in the role of Senior Director of Football Administration/Staff Counsel, but after illustrating his talents and work ethic over the next two years, he was promoted to senior vice president February 3, 2003.

Thank You Rob!

I never knew the Lions got him from the XFL. That kinda surprised me. Also surprised me that his internship dealt with the salary cap. I don't pay much attention at work unless I'm getting paid either.....

There's simply no more excuses to be made, no more hiding from the truth.

Hopefully Ford Jr. wakes up and doesn't let Mayhew anywhere near the draft this year. Let Caldwell and Xanders run it, or hire an outside consultant. Anybody but Mayhew.

This shit isn't even funny anymore.

Hard to explain how great it is to know we got Marty from the XFL.

(Who's got one eye, two thumbs, a pair of binoculars and was a big fan of the Chicago Hitmen? This guy, that's who. Still have an official red and black game ball in my trunk. And wish my boy Tim Lester was still slingin' it for money.)

I remember 2008 very well. Mayhew assisted the Lions to an 0-16 season that year, and then went on to become the worst GM in the NFL by a WIDE margin. Factually.

Obviously. A serious poster would be confident enough to admit he was wrong in the face of facts. But not you. You're just having fun talking about how great the Lions are.
