Millen says he understands fan frustration

Matt Millen,president of the Lions, says he understands fan frustration but sees brighter days ahead.
"If I was sitting at home and I was a Lion fan, you've got to blame somebody," Millen said. "I'd blame me, too
He said getting blamed was part of his job, but part of his job was also to win and the Lions havent done that.
He said they have to get the right mindset.
He also added that he has made too many coaching changes.

The Canadian Press: Lions president Matt Millen says he understands fan frustration

Too many coaching changes? Gee, you think Matt?
If I was a Lions fan, though, I'd like to see one more big change.
Fire yourself.

Re: Millen says he understands fan frustration

What more can be said about this guy. He doesn't get it, and for some reason, the Lions just keep on sticking with him.

Re: Millen says he understands fan frustration

I didn't hear him say anything about his poor drafting. At least he is coming around and realizing that he is part of the problem.

The real crime isn't Millen...it's Lions management forcing such an incompetent GM on fans for endless years...how do you justify firing coaches who have better track record than the freakin GM you are keeping?

You're probably right. How does a guy go from a radio color commentator to a GM anyway???

What wide receiver is Millen eyeing this year to take with his first pick?

Re: Millen says he understands fan frustration

I think the fans would chase him out of town if he did that again. Last year was an exception because of Johnson's potential.
