3. Matt Millen was pretty bad... Jerruh seems so bad because he's lasted forever. As owners do.

I liked Millen fine as a player (49ers being my local team), and as announcer/commentator (I thought he was pretty good at that at the time), but from afar his stint as a GM looked like an incredible disaster. A Lions fan would know better, of course.

Jones would not have lasted to the end of his first contract if he were hired as a GM by a random team. Didn't he cut a D limeman for "being overweight" this year, after signing him as a veteran free agent this past off-season despite him being that much overweight? Fucking egomaniac. Admit you were wrong about the guy being any good. Admit your defense sucks because you hired the wrong people. Fragile bullshit artist.
