I'm going to apply for Millen's job. Apparently, it will take them years before they realize I have no idea what I'm doing in that position.

Millens wife reportedly said that they are finally out of that football prison. WTH .
Nice talk about the team that paid him millions to Fail.
He should have left on his own years ago.

Matt Millen is a douchebag X10. I read an article that he did a long time ago about a recruiting meeting that he had with Woody Hayes. Millen's account of the meeting was disrespectful to the point of almost hateful. He was making fun of Woody's "lisp" and saying Coach was calling him "thun" and asking him to "lithen" to what he was saying.

This moron impersonated an NFL President for 7 years. Wonder what the hell took so long?

He was the head of the Lions, a team in Michigan.

Let me break this down for you:

Woody dies, the state of Michigan celebrates and is happy.

Bo dies, the state of Ohio cries and remembers what he did for football.

Karma's a bitch.

Lions fire president Millen after 31-84 record

By LARRY LAGE
AP Sports Writer
ALLEN PARK, Mich. ? Matt Millen was used to success in his life.
He won Super Bowls as a linebacker. He gained acclaim as a TV analyst. He had reasons to be proud as a husband and father.
As the leader of an NFL team, however, he was a failure by any measure.
The Lions fired Millen seven-plus years after hiring him as team president.
"Matt worked tirelessly during his tenure to win, and he would be the first one to tell you that you have to win in this league," team owner William Clay Ford said in a statement Wednesday. "It just didn't work out."
The Lions were an NFL-worst 31-84 since 2001 with Millen in charge, but his boss refused to get rid of him.
Until now.
The tipping point might have been public comments made by the owner's son earlier this week.
Lions vice chairman Bill Ford said Millen should leave the team and the Ford Motor Co. executive chairman said if he could, he would make moves.
"If it were in my authority, which it's not, I'd make some significant changes," Bill Ford told reporters Monday.
Finally, his father agreed that Millen had to go and an awful start was a factor.
Detroit was routed in each of its first three games this season, falling behind 21-0 twice and 21-3 once en route to lopsided losses going into its bye week.
