The Detroit Lions have confirmed that head coach Rod Marinelli has been fired after going 0-16 after yesterday's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Rod had 10 wins and 38 losses in his three years as Lions coach.William Clay Ford has promoted Tom Lewand to team president and Martin Mayhew was named the General Manager. Which snuffs out any possibilities of the Lions going after Cowher, Parcells or Pioli as GM candidates. Just another decision by William Clay Ford that makes no sense. They fire Millen, but promote the guys that worked under him. Way to clean house Ford after a disasterous season!
Most of Marinelli's assistants have also been fired except for Offensive Coordinator Jim Colletto, who has apparently been reassigned to Offensive Line Coach.
