November 5, 2015 was a monumental day for the Detroit Lions. That was the day the team fired Martin Mayhew and Tom Lewand, officially killing off the final remnants of the Matt Millen era. The Lions had been a poorly-managed train wreck for years before Millen took over. But the team truly went to the depths of hell from 2001 to 2015. While there were some good moments, they were always fleeting.
When the Lions hired former New England Patriots director of pro scouting Bob Quinn in January, we truly didn’t know what to expect.
