		DETROIT (AP) — Matt Millen will be back next year as president and general manager of the Lions, who have had the worst record in the NFL during his three seasons in Detroit.
		Millen, who was not surprised by Ford's announcement, said he is even more determined to turn around the franchise he has run since leaving a lucrative job as a television analyst.
		Millen was fined $200,000 this summer by the NFL because he didn't follow the league's minority hiring policy when he hired Mariucci.

		Meanwhile, Matt Millen has been a complete disaster in every possible sense: he hires the wrong coaches, drafts the wrong players, signs the wrong free agents, screws up the cap, builds around the wrong guys, turns on his own players, doesn't have any semblance of a master plan...
		Millen in an era where you can turn it around in one year is responsible for one of the worst 5 year runs as an NFL general manager.
		My main argument for Millen would be that he is in a league that it is much easier to turn around a team in a hurry.

	Fire Millen - Save The Lions: Sack Matt
		Yes, the Lions and Matt Millen are the joke of the league.
		Millen may not be the only problem, but he is the biggest problem and it is time to do something before we keep digging ourselves a deeper hole.
		Millen isn’t going to be fired, WCF is in love with him…and WCF isn’t going to sell the Lions, its way too good of a tax-break for him…both should be out of football but no amount of pressure from the fans is going to affect their status until there are empty seats in the stadium.

	Matt Millen Fired? - Madden Forums - powered by VG Sports & Maddentips.com
		Millen received an extension in 2005, and he has said that he would not pursue a buyout if he were released from the balance of his contract.
		Indeed, it appears that Lewand and not Millen is ultimately responsible for the most recent embarrassment involving the franchise, which occurred when the Ford Field staff tried to stoke booing of former Lions quarterback Joey Harrington, who was making his first appearance in Detroit as a member of another team.
		Although Millen carries the title of President/CEO, which suggests that anything and everything that happens is within his domain, the team's media guide expressly states that Lewand is responsible for the day-to-day operations at Ford Field.

	Matt Millen's Discerning Eye For Genius - Deadspin
		Whenever Lions general manager Matt Millen ("Fire Millen!") makes some sort of executive decision, we tend to sit up and take notice, if just so we can film it and send it into one of those blooper shows.
		Today's decision is the hiring ("Fire Millen!") of Buccaneers defensive line coach Rod Marinelli as the Lions' next head coach.
		But, you know ("Fire Millen!"), we have absolute faith that this hiring is going to work out great.

		It is a shame that the powers that be in the NFL fined Matt Millen for having more integrity than all of the other owners/GMs who had coaching vacancies in the league put together.
		Millen and the Lions should be commended for finally hiring a great coach regardless of race, not penalized for doing so.
		Millen was singled out because the league can punish the Motor City Kitties without antagonizing a flagship franchise such as Dallas or San Francisco.

		Millen, thinking he somehow had leverage now, asked for a fourth, which was way too high given the Dolphins’ situation.

		My largest complaint about Matt Millen is that he does not have the ability to make cold calculated decisions when it comes to players.
		That is something Millen would have learned if he had previous experience in a front office, but certainly not something he would learn in the broadcast booth or as a player.

		Millen had a plan, I suppose...much in the same way that a demolition crew has a plan for imploding a building.) During his final season in Detroit, Morton had 77 catches for 1,154 yards...numbers which exceed those amassed by his replacement, Bill Schroeder, in the two seasons combined since Morton's departure.
		Millen, being the pro that he is, responded by calling Morton a "faggot." Twice.
		What do you expect from Matt Millen-he is an arrogant, ex-jock who thinks very highly of his own opinion, when in reality he fits the dumb jock stereotype pretty well.

		Matt Millen is living prove that I missed my true calling in life...I throw a dart at a board, consult a crystal ball, and still do a better GM job then Millen...
		"It boils down to this: Either Millen drafted the wrong quarterback and stuck with him far too long, crippling the organization along the way or, he drafted the right guy and paired him with a couple of coaches who couldn't utilize his talents, crippling the organization along the way.
