My Thoughts: Steve Mariucci fired

Six Degrees of Seperation: Scott->Valley Christian->Steve Mariucchi's Son->Steve Mariucchi. Yes his son attended Valley Christian and took them to a CCS Title. Cool huh?

Anyways, back to Mooch's firing. Well. Its too bad. But think of the bright side. He no longer has to work at one of the worst franchises. Maybe not as bad as the 49ers, however the Lions are down there too. I still think that Mariucchi is still a creditable Coach.

I think the problem is the guy above him. Matt Millen, the GM. I can't tell what his direction is. He hasn't done anything but make the Lions a worse team. It was a bad team 5 yrs ago, and it has only gotton worse. Even when they bring in a good coach and a good (but not great) QB in Jeff Garcia, he's failed. They draft 3 1st Round Wide Recievers in the last 3 years. What about the other positions? Joey Harrington isn't the savior of this club. I just don't see where this team is going.

If a team does not improve every year then there is something wrong. So people's heads roll. Mooch was the first. But if Millen doesn't improve again by next year, he has to go too.

At least the Niners have the potential to get better. The Lions currently don't seem to have that potential.
