I wish him luck if it's true

It is. Its been a sorta well kept secret. It will be made official soon.
I have a good friend who works for wvcb boston (channel 5) in the sports dept.

Hate to loose him but he can't be held back.
Best of luck to him wether he stays or goes

One playoff win in the last 60 years for Detroit. He's gonna need all the luck he can get.

There is some real live talent on that roster, so at least he has a sportin chance.

I’ve always liked the Lions. They are the team I root for in the NFC. Loved Billy Sims and Barry Sanders. Hope Patricia does well there.

It will be sad to see the team divide off this year, but I guess that's how this business works. Hope he has some success there, but not against the Pats of course .

I'm still getting over Grogan, Cunningham, Francis and of course Hannah dissolving. Guess I'm a slow healer. Tippett and Morgan eased the pain

Really sucks to see him go but they can't keep him down forever

They should not be allowed to even discuss coaching jobs until after the Superbowl.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Good get for Detroit.

I think that all teams can't begin till after the Super Bowl or allow teams to name their head coach hires and allow them handle it the best way possible with their current team.

It is a huge problem for assistants that are in the playoffs. They can't begin hiring staffs so teams go for the guys that are out like Vrabel. I think McDaniels would have been a head coach last year if he was allowed to accept and start filling out his staff.

They should concentrate on the next game if they're in the playoffs, not worry about their future coaching staffs or the draft.

I'm guessing you never looked for a new job, while currently employed.

Done that several times.

I'm not saying they should quit first, only that there should be a moratorium on interviewing and raiding other teams' coaching staffs until after the playoffs.

how long before he comes running back to daddy?
