Lions hire Ron Wood as President

[LKP]

And Wood just said he won't be making any football decisions.

 

[LKP]

Wood said they are using the committee of GMs too in his press conference.

We got what we wanted. A president that will use the old GMs to help make the decision.

I heard he was on a conference call - him, Martha and Millen. That's got win written all over it.

Old GMs like Wolf, Accorsi, Polian will be used. They are leaning onthat committee. This is what we wanted the new President to do.

Now that it's happening, people are bashing.

Who's we? They could draw cards for all I care. Just get someone that knows what he's doing.

Everyone wanted the Lions to use the committee provided by the NFL. They are doing that.

And that is how the GM will be picked. Which gets us a good candidate.

People do realize they also said they were going to do a nation wide search for the president right? Nationwide for them must mean in the next room over.

And all Lions fans need to pray for losses now. 6-10 or maybe even 5-11 and Cladwell gets an extension and White is named GM permanently.

They are doing a nationwide search for GM using the committee. That is all that matters.

I have no doubt White gets the gig but there is nothing he can do, after being hired, that would help this team win. A minor player picked off the WW or a PS? Nothing he does helps this team win. How'd he help us win in GB? We're screwed.

I like Mayhew and White helped Mayhew. Mayhew built the talent we have (which is alot) and got screwed by injuries. White appears to be much luckier through one big game but I'd rather mix it up with someone outside the organization.

White would have the most to prove and have the shortest leash.

If he helped Mayhew not win a playoff game then he should get canned too. Mayhew shouldn't be praised because he was slightly better than his predecessor. His dumbass predecessor.

Ron Wood "I don't think I'm qualified to run any other NFL franchise, but I'm qualified to run this one"

Not a made up quote.

lmao.....aka...."this place is a shit show and anyone can do this job for this fucked up franchise."

I don't know why I didn't think of this yesterday when the news broke, but this signals the sale of the team. An investment broker who handles the Ford Estate? He is basically the guy you hire to gussy up your shithole before the realtor brings in a couple of young suckers and calls it "cozy". He'll try and cut costs and make a profit for a year or two and then either Martha will croak or go coo-coo enough that her daughter will sell.

 

[LKP]

Wood said he won't touch salary cap. They are hiring advisor and using nfl panel. This is the situation we wanted

Excuse me??? lol. He has NOTHING to do with the football side of things. He's the money guy...THAT`S IT! He won`t be involved with the draft, free agents or re-signing of players. He takes care of charity events, building repairs etc etc etc.

Obviously you`re not too bright.
