Another Great Decision by William Clay Ford

In another shockingly bad decision from Detroit Lions headquarters, Detroit Lions owner William Clay Ford said Sunday he will hire another person to upgrade the team's football operations, but it might not be a general manager and that he would like to keep current GM Martin Mayhew and team Chief Operating Officer Tom Lewand around.

Sooooo let me get this straight Mr. Ford. You may or may not hire another GM in addition to the two GM's you've already got AND if you do hire a third, you don't know what his responsibilities would be. Hmmmm, yea I'm not sure how this franchise got to be so bad???

I wonder if Ford, Mayhew and Lewand are going to draw straws to see who gets to make the draft selections? or maybe they'll just do paper, rocks, scissors?

Ford was also quoted as saying he has "talked to some people'' and still is putting together a list of GM candidates to be interviewed for the position. Umm what position is that Mr. Ford? You just said you don't even know what this new hire's responsibilities would be? It has to be pretty tough to put together a list of candidates for a position that you may or may not hire and have no clue as to what they would even do!!!

And for Ford's final ridiculous statement he said that he doesn't believe there is one "football genius'' that is available that can come in to fix the Lions franchise.

Well Mr. Ford, you are actually right about that one! I believe the "football genius" that you are refering to is Bill Parcells and no, he is not available because you chose not to interview him a year ago before he took the Miami Dolphins job. I mean Parcells only took a lousy one win team and now has them in a position to win their conference. Let's just put that on your ever growing list of bad decisions Mr. Ford.
