| 25th November, 2005 - 3:40 pm |  Detroit Free-Press - Lions coach Steve Mariucci's days might be numbered following a 27-7 Thanksgiving loss to Atlanta -- a game players called "ugly" and "embarrassing."
Team president Matt Millen declined to comment Thursday on whether Mariucci's firing was imminent or whether there would be a meeting soon to discuss Mariucci's future.
But Mariucci accepted responsibility for the state of the team -- all but officially out of the playoff race at 4-7 -- and players openly wondered what was next.
"I don't know what's going to happen or anything like that, but nobody's stupid in here," offensive lineman Damien Woody said. "People know that, hey, things didn't go right. It was a pretty bad loss on national television. We'll see what happens."
Asked if he would be surprised if Mariucci were fired, offensive lineman Jeff Backus said: "Nothing would surprise me, to be honest. I don't know what's going to happen, if anything at all. But if something does, if something doesn't, I'm still going to play hard, give everything I've got." [READ] |
