This season, owners have proven they are not afraid to make major staff changes in the middle of the madness, but the Lions have just set the bar.
The team has fired general manager Martin Mayhew and team president Tom Lewand, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. ESPN first reported the development.
The news comes just a week after the team dismissed offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and installed Jim Bob Cooter in the same role. The Lions went on to get pummeled in London, 45-10, by the Kansas City Chiefs leaving many to wonder if head coach Jim Caldwell was next in the purge.
