As fans are still celebrating the firing of Matt Millen, we can start to speculate on his future replacement. For now it’s being covered by Tom Lewand and Martin Mayhew, but one prominent former GM has spoken. Free Press sports writer George Sipple spoke with former Tennessee Titans GM Floyd Reece. Here’s what I like to hear…
Sounds like you. Are you interested?
A:“If I had Williams Clay Ford’s number, you’d be hearing a dial tone right now. I’m in a unique situation. I’ve been in the league 32 years. … I could be in Detroit tomorrow.
“One of the real uncut gems in the NFL is Detroit. It has a great owner. He’s got a lot of money. He wants to win very badly, and he’s not one of those guys that’s on the sidelines. He just wants to find someone that can help him win.”
I would have no problem with someone like Floyd Reece coming in and overseeing the overhaul of the franchise. He helped build Tennessee into a solid team who is competitive every year. They even made it to a Super Bowl. At this point, if someone wants to come to Detroit, I would definitely call them up!
