Are you talking about where I mentioned that the Lions made the playoffs twice with Bobby Ross?
I don't give Ross much credit for that either. He rode Barry just like Fontes did.

Nice. Maybe so, but when the head ball coach is 0-6 and the new core of players has lost 4 straight and can no longer use the "youth" excuse, it's not too promising. Even the players seem to be running out of things to say about it.
As I said, when your team goes 4-12, at least you can hope for a top QB in the draft or a new HC/direction.
We're rolling with the same QB, HC and direction. So I don't have much optimism for change. Also, the core of this team is no longer young.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
