ch19079 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Lions | Mariucci fired Mon, 28 Nov 2005 09:05:32 -0800 Â Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the Detroit Lions have fired head coach Steve Mariucci. It was widely speculated Mariucci would be let go by the team following their embarrassing loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving Day. The team has dropped four of their last five games and Mariucci was 15-28 during his two-plus years with the Lions. He has two more seasons left on his five-year, $25 million contract. Â wow. Â he never liked harrington. maybe with him leaving, harrington will stay as their QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Thank god he never coached with the Steelers! Nothing against Mooch, but I don't want to see the West Coast offense in Buffalo again, for a very long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Looks like it'll be a steady diet of Joey Harrington for the Lions now. Millen gets his way and can now continue to run that franchise into the ground. I still don't know how they gave that job to a TV commentator in the first place. Maybe they're getting what they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That coupled with Mariucci's popularity makes me think there's no way in hell TD would even bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have been Millen to go. He's been clearly outmatched during his tenure in Detroit. It still boggles my mind that the guy wasted three top 10 choices on WR's--a position that every single scout will tell you takes 3-4 years to develop. He's stuck with 3 high-paid WR's who will basically only become good (maybe) after their contracts run out and they leave Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet both team owners have no inclination to move on.....Eventually everything catches up to the final score....and in that case both TD and MIllen have losing records with nothing in site to erase those deficits...

I am not even saying Mooch is not being scape goated here, but when players are openly questioning what the head coach is doing, it means they are losing him. I have Kevin Jones on my FF team, and have been amazed by how little he has been used this year, when he tore things up in the second half of last season...Mooch may be a little too enamored with the West Coast offense, to realize that he doesn't have the personel to run it...the Lions should have a potent offense, but they suck...it is the old addage, you can't fire all the players, so you have to fire the coach. In this day and age, you can't really use the excuse that "it takes 5 years to learn this offense"...nobody has that much time.. The fact that the firing is being done during the season is weasly on Millen's part...trying to save his job....he should be the next to go...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Joey Harrington, Kevin Jones, Charles Rogers, Roy Williams, Mike Williams, THE NFC NORTH A 15-28 record the last 3 years. 32ND, 26TH, 27TH ranked offenses, 21st, 22nd, 11th ranked defense. Just SAY NO TO MOOCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Hmmm was: if one old-money owner from Detroit can cut his losses that early, does that give the other old-money owner from Detroit any ideas? I gotta believe Ralph called his old buddy today & had a real nice chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
