Top Notch
He worked under a guy who gave him a blue print of what not to do and now he has been with the Lions for 6 or 7 years as GM.
What is the time line to develop as a GM? And at what point does a team cut ties and start over?
Im assuming by some of the statements that have been made, some of you are saying that a new GM has around 4 years to win a Superbowl?
Just because he worked under Millen doesnt mean he doesnt have a mind of his own. Tons of businesses hire from within so what is the big surprise there? Its a different situation but thats like telling me that I shouldnt be promoted because my boss is stupid or made some bad decisions.
A realistic time line for a GM is probably around 5 years if he hasn't shown any improvements. For those that have, they might get a little longer. Mayhew is close to building his team that can potentially get to the top so why change now? If he cant gwt their in the next few years then maybe it is time.
