Adam Schein of Sirius NFL radio and FoxSports.com says Lions fans should be ecstatic with the change in coaching staff. Marinelli's aggressive, no-nonsense style drove two or three players to file a grievance against him. This infuriated some players, including Damiein Woody.
May 20, FoxSports.com: Woody also had something to say to his new coaching staff. The guard told us: "The leaders on this team, me, Marcus Pollard, Dre Bly, Cory Schlesinger, we told the coaches to keep this going. This is how you coach a team. This is what the Lions need. It's going to take time for some players to adjust. That's how it was in New England when we went from Pete (Carroll) to Bill (Belichick). At first, it was a shock. But we realized this is what it takes to win. And we want to win in Detroit. We need this."
Yes... The best time of the year to be a Lions Fan... WE BELIEVE...
