The man who replaced him (Bobby Ross) made the playoffs twice in 3 seasons. So firing Fontes isn't what sent the Lions into a downward spiral. You're giving Fontes way too much credit.
The fall of the Lions had everything to do with the best RB off all-time retiring and Matt Millen taking over as GM.
Giving the Head Coach too much credit kinda goes both ways don't it?
