Tom Lewand has been promoted from COO to President, and Martin Mayhew has been given the permanent position of General Manager.

Unbe-freaking-leivable.
The thing is that 0-16 is only one season, a bad season but it is only one year so you have to look to previous years and evaluate that. This is when it becomes a true headscratcher! This type of losing has been going on in Detroit for well over a freaking decade. I don't know the roles that these guys played, before or how long they were with the team. But I would think that if I owned the team I'd be looking for the best Football executive I could get my hands on and let him have complete autonomy and hire all positions that relate to football.
