Good artical and it says it all example:Where the Lions go wrong is that you have a coach still learning on the job.

We need to fire the coach and find someone who knows what they are doing!!!
Jim Schwartz one loss from worst 20-game start in franchise history

Sad but true. Schwartz seemed like he had and still has potential, but he doesn't have the support staff of other coaches and game managers to help him and he can't do it all himself. There's too much going on and he's spreading his concentration to thin. it is impossible for him to succeed at being a head coach without other coaching help and other support members.

My favorite post from you, ever! I think this point made here is becoming more apparent every week. I think Mayhew and Lewand thought Gunther would help more but he's out of it.

I do find it hilarious that Huge takes this position however. This is a guy who was screaming "No Retread Coaches" before Schwartz was hired, yet now he condemns the team for hiring a greenhorn. I vividly recall him admonishing Mayhew to "find the next Sean Payton, find the next Mike Tomlin". They went out and got a universally regarded future head coach, gave him absolute garbage to work with, and now Huge calls for his head after 19 games. He simply cannot be pleased and he never takes any accountability into anything he says. He does the same tired crap with the Pistons and Dumars too--they do exactly what Huge demands they do, then when it doesn't work out Dumars has to go and he passes the buck on his own opinion. I do not miss his show one bit since I moved from MI.

Good point, but I haven't followed Huge that much to know what his reputation is for being hypocritical like that. All I know is that the Lions and Pistons and Tigers have NEVER EVER done what I asked for, and when they do, if they do, you won't see me complaining after the fact. You probably won't see anybody complaining because then we would have a set of working teams that are winning, but either way my point is that these teams have tried everything under the sun except my way, and the results are the same despite being different flavors of losing.

As for the Red Wings, they are the one team that shows any semblance of being professional about their management strategy, i do have a few mild complaints about their drafting choices of the past couple years and end of game strategies in regards to timing decisions when pulling the goalie, but those are just about the only 2 major problems they have. The Pistons have more than double those problems, and the Lions and Tigers have 5x-10x as many critical problems, and the results all match up with a similar correlation to the number of logical mistakes that each team makes.

FWIW Bill Simonson is a moron. He was drinking that Lions cool-aid hard this offseason, predicting something like 9-7. Now that Stafford is out and we are 0-3, he was asking this week if we would go 0-16 again and talked about what a terrible team we are and how bad Schwartz is.

Anything Bill writes i don't take even close to serious
