Steve gets the heave in Detroit.
This is a lesson in how football management works. The GM fires the coach. The owner fires the GM. If the owner is stupid enough to hire the GM that wastes 3 lottery picks to fill the same position... and to give a five year extension to the guy who drafted Josie Harrington #3 overall before that.... you can see who's head is going to roll.
Mooch wasn't a great coach. His teams never got any better, and players under his tutleage (read: Harrington) actually regressed. That said, he deserves better than to be fired for Matt Millen's mistakes.
Detroit has been bad for my whole life. Even when the had the splendid Barry Sanders, they were simply also-rans. They've had a top ten draft pick every year this decade... and they still stink.
Chances are pretty good that Detroit will get another high draft pick this year... and chances are better that Millen will fumble this one away, too. It seems that the owner cares only about Millen's ability to suck a golf ball up a garden hose, because he just fired a coach for playing the sad hand Millen dealt him.

You're absolutely right, they fired the wrong guy. Mooch deserves some of the blame, no doubt, but it's a joke that Millen's still president of that team.
