The DETROIT FREE PRESS asks today: “Does Joe Theismann want Matt Millen’s job?”

We’re pointing this out because we don’t really think Theismann was pining for Matt Millen’s job when he said recently on WSCR-AM in Chicago, “Could I or anybody do a better job (with the Lions)? I don’t know. But it would be a wonderful challenge“. And piling on with an opinion that Detroit Lions president Matt Millen “hasn’t helped former players get into management because he’s done a lousy job.”

But it is undeniable that Tony Kornheiser tackling dummies would do wonders for a team that has never appeared in the Super Bowl.

But the Lions better hurry, since it’s not like Theismann has spent an entire season virtually out of sight in the football broadcasting world (consulting with Jim Fassel on landing on your feet probably wasn’t the best idea right out of the box).
