Born in 1975, the product of two beautiful parents. Raised in West Baltimore—not quite The Wire, but sometimes ill all the same. Studied at the Mecca for some years in the mid-’90s. Emerged with a purpose, if not a degree. Slowly migrated up the East Coast with a baby and my beloved, until I reached the shores of Harlem. Wrote some stuff along the way.

Millen Done

By Ta-Nehisi Coates

Sep 24 2008, 10:46 AM ET Comment

Damn. Not sure it helps. Ford stuck with Millen all this time. That says to me that there are ownership issues? But while we're on the topic--WTF is with drafting three straight wide-receivers?

UPDATE: Props to commenter Frank for the news.

UPDATE #2: Dig this

The Lions are 31-84 under Millen

Wow. That really puts into perspective how long Millen sucked. Who in the NFL is allowed to stick around and lose like that? No head coach could have that win-loss ratio. That is just awful. Was he Ford's son-in-law? Are we entering into Worst GM ever territory? I know Elgin Baylor was pretty bad for a while too.
