During a conference call that introduced Matt Millen as the new analyst for the NFL Network, the former general manager of the Detroit Lions talked openly about his failed tenure in the Motor City. The Lions finished 0-16 during Millen's final season as team president. He was fired in September. The Lions went 31-97 overall since hiring Millen in 2001. "Every situation is a learning situation," Millen said. "We've had success and we've had failure in the NFL. You're only judged on wins and losses. My tenure was not so good. It was very poor. It's been said you learn a lot from failures and I learned a ton. I can bring that to the table. I view my experience in Detroit as a positive one, not in terms of winning and losing obviously, but having gone through it and being exposed to every level of the NFL, that's something that could help in the telecast."

if this was not so good and not downright horrible then he has some pretty low standards. A better statement would of been "Worst tenure in NFL history"
