The 2015 Lions Are A Shocking Disappointment

The Lions have shown glimpses of their potential in recent years, but their disappointing 2015 season brings them back to square one.

In 2008, the Detroit Lions made history in a way that can only be described as the complete opposite of winning the Super Bowl. They went 0-16 on their way to becoming the worst team in NFL history, and one of the worst teams of all time, period. As a result, then-owner William Clay Ford, Sr. cleaned house. Head coach Rod Marinelli along with most of his staff were fired, offensive coordinator Jim Colleto was demoted, and the front office was shifted around, with Dave Boller, the Assistant Director of Pro Personnel getting laid off.
