    According to a report by Don Banks of Sports Illustrated, "tension has developed" between Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz and general manager Martin Mayhew this season.

    Banks noted that the Lions "will probably remain status quo with both head coach Jim Schwartz and general manager Martin Mayhew," but he indicated that multiple sources told him to "keep a wary eye" on the situation in Detroit.

    Sources say tension has developed between Schwartz and Mayhew this season, with the Lions' penchant for taking chances on character-issue type players, and the effect on the locker room, at the root of the problem. In other words, which Lions decision-maker will get the blame for the Titus Young problem, and other similar rolls of the dice on the personnel front? Detroit has collected a few too many bad-boy types, and there might be a price to pay for the moves that have back-fired.

    well, if this is the case, then don't expect things to improve in detroit any time soon. these situations usually just get worse and worse until someone gets fired.

    You're right, but I can't help but think they need to squash it and stop being butthurt babies. It can't work with people being pissy and not on the same page.

    well, obviously that's what they SHOULD do but sometimes ego's won't allow it.
