Detroit seems to be another one that the NFL doesn't like. They never seem to be allowed to have sustained success. 

 

How on earth could they on good faith have guys like TOM FRIGGIN CABLE and Todd Bowles as initial candidates for their HC vacancy when a guy like O Brien was available??? It makes zero sense in Detroits current situation which are probably a good head coach away from being a legit SB team. Things always seem to eventually go wrong for Detroit. But I guess I am to believe that its all just coincidence - instead of seeing the reality, that Detroit isn't a big enough cash cow for the NFL and they'd prefer that Traditions and giant more national fan bases $$$$ like the Bears, Packers & Vikings have the long term success over them.
