Why not? Personnel isn't the problem.

This is a solid job, if they hire somebody with any sort of coaching prowess they should be a good team next year

I don't understand why people think this is a good job.. Yes at the moment they have a good roster but they will not overtake the Packers or Bears with it. Forever mediocre.

They were one game out this year, with a dickhead as a coach.

It is unequivocally the best opening available with talent on both sides of the ball.

Neither the Packers nor the Bears are some sort of juggernaut that cannot be defeated going forward. The Lions swept the Bears, so that's not even an issue at this point.

You're talking about a team that hasn't won a division title in 20 years.. and they won't win another as long as Rodgers is with GB.

GB didn't win the division in three out of the six years Rodgers has been the starter.

… and the team that won it two of those three years was the same team that Detroit beat twice this season.. your argument makes no sense. I'll sit and watch you argue with 20 championship-less seasons in a row..

What happened two decades ago is irrelevant in 2014. Not difficult to put that together.

I'm just saying that Houston and probably the Redskins going forward are better coaching jobs as Houston is the most talented team in their division and the Redskins proved they could win last season while Detroit has not proven anything and must compete with the Bears and Packers, both who have more talented rosters.

Then you should have said that from the beginning.

Indianapolis > Houston

They didn't "prove" anything more than the Lions did in 2011. 10-6 and lost their playoff game.

It is not a given that the Bears or the Packers have a more "talented" roster from top-to-bottom than Detroit. Certainly not the Bears and Rodgers is the big difference for GB.

Obvious Homer is obvious.

Well, you haven't added anything of substance to the discussion and it's not like claiming the Lions having a competitive, playoff-caliber roster as constructed is much of a stretch...and to act like there is some major gap in talent between the teams is hilarious.
