Gotta love that Belichick coaching tree.

Marvin Lewis would be a very Lions thing to do here

Probably the single most irrelevant franchise in the NFL, maybe even in all of the 4 major North American sports

I thought the Lions franchise folded up shop back when Barry Sanders retired. Is that not the case?

Aren't they the only original NFC team to never make a Super Bowl? I would say the Browns but they won after moving to Baltimore.

We've been to the Super Bowl. Twice. Detroit has never been. Weve won our division 10 times since we were founded. Detroit who supercedes us by several decades has managed that 8 times.

The Ford Family has owned the Lions since 1961. In that time they’ve only won a single playoff game IIRC. Perhaps the owners suck?

So Belichick assistants have a 41% winning percentage as head coaches.

Amazing that in the 53 year history of the Super Bowl, the Lions have won exactly 1 playoff game.
