The Detroit Lions fired president Matt Millen on Wednesday, more than seven years after the former linebacker and TV analyst took over one of the NFL's most mediocre franchises and made it the worst.

The team confirmed the firing Wednesday afternoon.

Millen's teams won a league-low 31 games since he took over in 2001, but Detroit owner William Clay Ford had refused to get rid of him until now.

On Monday, Bill Ford Jr., son of the team owner, said he would fire Millen, but didn't have the authority.

Detroit was routed in each of its first three games this season, falling behind 21-0 twice and 21-3 once en route to lopsided losses. The Lions are off this week.

The 0-3 start dropped Millen to 31-84 overall, giving the Lions at least 10 more losses than any other NFL team over the past seven-plus seasons.

Because historically the Lions have kept people in much longer than they should be there...probably why they've won just 1 playoff game since 1957.
