    very very happy to have Josh back in the fold. I dont know as much about Williams.

    On a sidenote, sort of feel bad for the Lions right now. They come off they're best season in team history and their coaching staff is getting poached pretty hard.

    I don't

    They had 2 really solid chances at making a run for it and both times they folded like a cheap tent.

    He spent five years with Vrabel as his defensive line coach and in that final season together in Tennessee Vrabel made him his Assistant Head Coach. Got to believe there's a lot of trust there between the two.

    good to know. makes me feel better. any idea if Williams called plays on Defense or if that was Vrabel?

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    I doubt it when their DC was Shane Bowen that season. There had to be some kind of trust factor there when Williams was named Mike's assistant rather than his two coordinators. That may have some value here, or not, time will tell.

    Did you lose money on this game lol? My comment was more towards the people in the Lions organization & their fans who have waited a long time to finally see this team get out of the gutter, a lot of the coaches responsible for that change are now gone.

    Yes I lost an opportunity to win a good amount of money, didn't lose much but it still infuriated me lol

    I have empathy for the Detroit fans for sure but the organization and the players I do not

    They wanted to get cute last year against SF and repeatedly go for it on 4th down against an elite D instead of taking 3 points and it cost them, fast forward this year and they played like complete crap so screw em.

    The best teams always have their coaches poached.Lateral moves are a little weird unless the money is a lot more but I dont really feel bad for them and Detroit isnt exactly a desirable place to live anyways

    Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007
