It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Another 4 or 5 years of mediocrity.

I really don't see anything changing there, at least not right away. I think Matt Millen was a fine football player and all but I just don't think he is President/CEO material.

I just think they need more of a bussiness man in that position and less of a football player. Thats my 2 cents ;)

I dunno Mr. Reality, I think Joey Harrington has the tools, to be a leader and a very good QB over there. I aslo believe the other tools neccessary to bring a winning season to Detroit are in place. They all just need to be put together. Its gonna take some more time but I believe in 2 years and the Mooch this team may be a contender.

Millen actually contacted Joe Gibbs. It was in the local paper here in DC. That's a joke right there. Gibbs has a sweet deal with Nascar right now and 2 champion drivers. That was just stupid on Millen's part.

Millen may be incompetent but at least Mariucci and Harrington is probably a good match. Harrington is very bright and a good natural leader, but his arm is only good as opposed to having a cannon. In short, he should be the ideal west coast QB.

wgr reported it was a 5 year deal at 5 mil a year.
