As a proud, life long Lions fan, I can say with all honesty that it doesn't really matter anymore who is coaching the team. Mangini would have been my first choice as he would have at least kept the tradition of the 2000's to have a coach with an "M" name (Moeller, Mornininweg, Mariucci, Marinell), but we had to settle for a Schwartz.

The cupboard is pretty darn bare, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. The o-line is adequate, Kevin Smith and Calvin Johnson are potential pro-bowlers in the making at skills positions, and guys like Dan Orlovsky at least showed me enough that the offense isn't the problem with this team. The defense gave up 30+ points 11 times this year. That stat is just astounding.

Anyway, I'm not saying they're going to make the playoffs, and I'm not saying the Lions are going to draft well as Mayhew/Lewand are Millen's guys, but I am positive the situation couldn't get any worse.
