Grade William Clay Ford - July 2010
Part three of our series of July grades takes a look at the Lions' owner, William Clay Ford. While people have been very kind to Martin Mayhew and Jim Schwartz in their voting, it should come as no surprise that I am expecting something completely different for Ford. After all, this is the man who...
Lions Owner William Clay Ford Breaks Silence on Millen, Mayhew, Schwartz, More
William Clay Ford doesn't speak to the media too often (the last time was after Matt Millen was fired last year), but he did just that on Wednesday after watching the Lions practice. The full interview can be viewed here, but I'm going to highlight the more interesting parts below. The...
Wednesday Notes: Ford Comes in Second in Worst Owners List
New Lion Jason Hunter's deal is one year long and has a base salary of $1.01 million. The Lions were aware of Lydon Murtha's back injury before they drafted him and knew he wouldn't immediately be ready. Sammie Lee Hill was over 6 feet tall and weighed more than 200 pounds when he first started...
Saturday Notes: Rookie Minicamp Has Begun
The Lions opened their three-day rookie minicamp yesterday, and it went pretty much as expected. Rookies played like rookies, and we basically didn't learn anything. I say that because this was the first time most of these guys practiced in months and because they are not in pads. There's only...
Lions Agree to Terms with Curry, Now Waiting on Stafford
Tom Kowalski is reporting that the Lions have agreed to contract terms with Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry. A deal is in place, and now the Lions appear to be waiting for Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford's next move. Here is more from Kowalski: The source said he believes that...
Saturday Notes: The Latest from Indy
The Lions are meeting with many potential draft picks while in Indy. As we already know, they had dinner with Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford on Thursday night. That wasn't the only meeting, though. USC quarterback Mark Sanchez had lunch with Scott Linehan earlier in the day, and Martin...
Lions Schedule Another Interview with Jim Schwartz
With the Titans losing to the Ravens on Saturday, Tennessee defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz can now accept job offers from other teams. This is important because it means the Lions' search for a head coach could be coming to an end sometime this week. The Lions interviewed Schwartz on...
Tuesday Notes: Add Rivera to the Candidates List
This is going to be a very busy week for the Lions. With the teams Todd Bowles, Leslie Frazier, and Mike Mularkey coach for eliminated from the playoffs, all three can now interview with the Lions. Bowles is scheduled to meet with the Lions on Wednesday according to an NFL.com report last week,...
Tuesday Notes: Lions Want to Talk with Josh McDaniels
According to the Boston Herald, the Lions have requested to talk with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. I wish McDaniels would bring Scott Pioli with him if he ends up getting hired, but that won't be happening if his destination is Detroit. Even so, you would think it is likely...
Tuesday Notes: Lions Clinch #1 Overall Draft Pick
Dan Orlovsky will start on Sunday against the Packers. Rod Marinelli said after the Saints game that Daunte Culpepper won't be available on Sunday, which seems a bit fishy to me. I don't know how injured Culpepper is, but to say that he will be unavailable a week in advance makes me think that...
