I know one team that does. Hint, look for someone who just got a HC'ing job that worked under Mike.

I was talking with a coach last week, Mikes name came up. I'm sure he'll be back in coaching real soon.

It's all about pass protection. And Martz tried to throw down field every play without having a capable offensive line to protect. Kitna just didn't have time to drop pack and let the routes develop. However, Martz never adjusted. Also, Martz has some problem with running the football. The D-lines were able to pin their ears back all year and tee-off on Kitna.

You have to adjust to your personnel. And Martz never did. He he had a solid offensive line, he would have had a better chance with his system being successfull.

I agree that the Lions play calling was horrible but if you think firing Martz makes thing better guess again. Look at the Defense, worst in the league. Much worse than last year and Donnie Henderson got fired. Why isn't Joe Barry fired??? Maybe because he's the coaches son-in-law. Offensive Line blows so what do the Lions do. Promote the OL coach to OC. The whole administration needs to go Millen, Marinelli, Kitna, Scouting I mean everybody. They will not ever be any good until this happens.

Yeah, Martz should have been fired. The Lions DEFENSE was ranked 32nd

I don't disagree with you, MichiganMan. There are a couple of things I want to say, but I just don't have the energy anymore to talk about the Lions. Ughhh...ok, one thing: I understand the Lions' defense was bad, really bad, but the offense going 3-and-out all the time didn't help them. The defense did seem to get worn down physically and emotionally a lot. How would you feel if you just made a huge stop on defense, and the offense goes out and throws three incompletions, takes 30 seconds off the clock, and you have to go out on the field again without catching your breath.
