密歇根新闻广播 底特律雄狮队表现差和训练不好有关

The Lions have won only one game this year, and in their most recent game, Matt Stafford suffered 13 hits, seven sacks², and the Lions went from a 17-6 lead over Minnesota to a 28-19 loss.

Bacon says to the Ford¹ family's credit³, they've stayed out of the way as the team struggles.

"They're pretty much everything you want in owners except an inability to hire the right coach," he says.

Bacon thinks team president Tom Lewand is smart and will eventually get it right. But he doesn't feel that way about head coach Jim Caldwell.

"Jim Caldwell is clearly not the guy, in my opinion," he says.

Bacon looks to Caldwell's warning to his quarterback during a game as a sign of his bad coaching.

"He told Matt Stafford ... 'If you throw one more pick, I'm going to pull ya."

"Man, let me tell you right now. If a high school coach did that, I would throw a flag and say, 'this is the wrong approach.' In the pros⁴ it's no better," says Bacon.

Nor does he think Matt Stafford is good enough.

"He has not won an away game over a winning team. He just can't. And you'll not go very far in that league with an inability to play a good team at their place."

In terms of college football, Bacon gives both the U of M and MSU an "A -" for different reasons.

U of M for playing above their expectations, and MSU, at 8-0, for keeping that streak⁵ alive...even if some of those wins were a little ugly.
