Alright Fine, 0-16 It Is. Now What?

Well the Lions did it.  They tried hard to avoid the inevitable, but Green Bay finished the final chapter in Detroit’s winless saga.  Since then, Martin Mayhew has been given the GM position, and Tom Lewand has taken on the team president role.  So, how do these two clean up one of the biggest messes in pro-sports history? First comes the choice of a new coach.  Obviously, the man’s last name has to start with M, as is evident by the last 6 men to lead the team, Mayhew, Millen, Marinelli, Mariucci, Mornhinweg and Moeller.  So, which M will get to lead the team next season?  Perhaps Ron Meeks?  On the serious side, the Lions need a disciplinarian, and someone with a track record.  This is not the team that needs a hot shot coordinator or college coach to take the reins; they need a proven NFL head coach.  Good for them, there are a few on the market, including Bill Cowher, Marty Schottenheimer, and the newly jobless Mike Shanahan.  ...
