Lions name new team president

[jayfan]

Rod Wood. A Ford guy. That was quick.

Lions name Rod Wood team president

Internal hire. Didn't expect that.

 

[TBBishop]

No one whining yet that Wood isn't a football guy. I'm very proud right now. Queue the whining in 3....2....1.....

 

[Old Lion]

I dont have an issue with it as long as he has no football decisions regarding personnel. Seems like strictly business decision.

Also I like how serious Martha is being about the GM position. Going a completely different route for hiring the GM.

Let's hope the GM hire is a good one.

Internal hire. Didn't expect that.

Pure sarcasm I know...

I didn't expect it either but understand a internal hire for president. I wouldn't for a GM. Anybody who worked with MMI or II should already be excused of any further duties.

I'd almost like to see a coach/GM type guy. At least we'd see one vision. IMO Mayhew was not on the same page with either of his hires.

I really see him as internal from Ford companies. At least he has nothing to do with this team at all.

 

[RobBase]

No sarcasm. I really didn't expect an internal hire. Can't say I'm excited, but ultimately the GM hire is what is most important.

I heard the committee to find the new GM is all internal too.

You can see how I read that as sarcasm.

Yes I read that also. I'm hoping that internal committee was making a final decision on who is presented to them from the firm that was hired. I'm just hoping Martha was a Poison fan. Cause I keep singing Give Me Something to Believe In.

Earlier when I first heard of the hiring. I thought Ol' Watertight Martha had hired Tater Salad. The excitement fizzled quickly. Reality settled back in ..... This Christmas I'm hoping a trusted Ford confidante gets a sale in order.

He's a Michigan man. If he grew up in MI then he knows how bad the Lions have sucked forever and a day

More like Talk Dirty to Me or Look What the Cat Dragged In. I'm afraid

"Extensive national search" turned up a guy already working for the Fords?

 

[Rollingthndr]

I got something in common with the Ford's. My Rod gets Wood too.

It's worked so well for them in the past.

Like Scott Kowlakowsi being in the roster for decade because his mom was a Ford secretary.

Soooo... You want me to talk dirty to you?

Go ahead. Talk dirty to him.

 

[gandydancer]

Go ahead. Talk dirty to him.

There is a lot of stories from our past. Some funny, some not, and some that are borderline incriminating. This would be a new chapter. Unless I possibly told the story of the night we would forever look at Brian Urlacher different for life.

A coach/GM rarely works in any sport. It's just too much work for one person. Hell, I just read today that Caldwell said he would have ZERO interest in both jobs. He likes his wheelhouse. Now, 9 out of 10 might coaches think they can do both jobs but only about 1 in 10 actually could. Honestly, it may be 1 in 32.

How about this guy?
