    Be The GM:

    Congratulations... You just got hired to replace Matt Millen. Its the start of the 09 Offseason. What is your first move?


    Hire a head coach to replace Rod?

    Find a new QB?

    Acquire a RB?

    Rebuild the Lines?
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      Draft a Wide Receiver with my first pick.

      Just to see the look on the fans' faces.

              I'd clean house, if your contract is up this year you're gone. I'd let Kitna walk, find a veteran via FA and draft the QB of the future.

                  Totally clean house. They need to go through major transformation just like the Dolphins are going through now. Go get Bill Cowher at all costs.

                    It's funny that you mention Cowher, rumor has it that he'll be the Browns coach next season.

                      Reality is, he shoulda been Schoettenheimer's successor back in 89.

                      But I'll take him if they fire Crennel next year!

                        That's what the word is anyway.

                          Cowher to Cleveland would be hilarious IMO. If I were Detroit I'd be calling someone like Cowher though because you need to completely re-build that team and he is the coach to do that.

                            You'd be crazy to take on a joke of an organization like Detroit. Wonder if they regret letting Jauron go?

                              I think whomever takes over should really consider starting from scratch.

                              #1--evaluate players you have under long term contract--identify strengths and weaknesses.

                              #2--get a coaching staff together based on whomever has the best plan for my players.

                              #3 change the uniforms to signal that there is a new sheriff in town.

                              #4 draft the best OL and DL players available in every round of the next two drafts.
