Found August 05, 2009 on Bleacher Report:
After a horrid 0-16 season made the Lions the laughing-stock of the league, Matt Millen and Rod Marinelli were sent packing, and Jim Schwartz was brought in to right the ship. This is arguably a job that can't be corrected in one season, and probably not even two or three, but if anyone can get Detroit going in the right direction, it'll be a defensive-minded coach who will run the ball and keep his quarterback protected. At least, that's the hope. The Lions have made strides by adding quality players to compete at several lacking positions, including receiver and linebacker. While their roster certainly offers more buzz than 2008's did, is there already room for optimism, or will Lions fans be gearing up for another run at a winless season?
