Matt Millen gone and will not be rehired anytime soon
My brothers and i have a joke that never gets old. The joke ties two references together by using a name change. Example: Did you hear N’Sync changed their name? N’Sync On the Block. The joke can go on forever and we think it is funny at least but I have one for Matt Millen. Did you hear Matt Millen changed his name? Isiah Thomas Millen.
That’s the best way to describe the disaster that was Matt Millen. He was terrible at his job. His draft picks, his player decisions and the play on the field is ridiculous. He drafted the best receiver each year or as he saw them and they rarely have panned out. He tried with Charles Rogers and failed, he tried with Mike Williams and failed. Roy Williams is good and so is Calvin Johnson but not when the Qb is a has been/never was who simply can’t get the job done. Jon Kitna is not a starter in the NFL that gets wins for his team and shouldn’t have a job. The team defense has been neglected in the early rounds and it shows. What took so long?
Now what is Millen going to do? He will want another front office job but nobody is that stupid or desperate. He may want to go back into the booth but his reputation has taken a big big hit here and a network has better options there. I question ESPN’s use of Steve Phillips for baseball sometimes because of his noted failures and Millen will go down in history as a waste of 5 plus years at the position. He set the team back an entire decade literally. They aren’t close to being good. The only people upset at the firing is the rest of the division because Detroit used to mean 2 wins for everyone on their schedule and maybe not so anymore.
At least Hurrican Millen has finally left Detroit and left the whole football team in his wake. Good luck rebuilding Lions fans, I hear Isiah Thomas wants a shot at football.
