Tuesday Notes: Jonathan Scott Reveals Just How Poor the Coaching Was in Detroit
Former Lions offensive tackle Jonathan Scott recently talked about how bad of a time he had playing in Detroit. Based on what he said, it is no surprise that the Lions went 0-16. Coaches were telling him to do different things on certain plays; nobody seemed like they were on the same page; and...

Lions Retain Gash and Jefferson, Hire Yarno to Coach OL
According to Dave Birkett, the Lions have decided to retain running backs coach Sam Gash and wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson, and have hired George Yarno as the offensive line coach. That means that Jim Colletto will not be retained, which is a move I am very happy with. Yarno was the...

Jon Kitna missed practice again on Thursday, and it is looking more and more like he won't start for the Lions on Sunday. It will probably be a game-time decision, but if Kitna doesn't play then Dan Orlovsky would likely step in to replace him, just as he did against the Bears. I would hope...
