The Detroit Lions are one of eight NFL teams looking for a head coach. Actually, the general manager -
Matt Millen is considered at least as much of their problem as the dismissed Steve Mariucci. He has failed to find a coach or players that can win games over the past four years, yet was just
given a five-year extension! Local sportswriters could not resist comparing that to Ford or GM.
- The decision two years ago for GM to sink so much money into a new generation of jumbo SUV's was bad. They had to know that this market would not stay hot forever.
- Part of the criticism directed at GM is they move slower with more bureaucracy than other automakers
- Some of the effort in new engines should be transferable to their entire line of vehicles
No, I don't think you can put out a new line of vehicles in six months or even two years. What disturbs me is GM seems as addicted to the SUV as a crack addict to support a corporate/labor structure that is not competive in 2006. I don't like watching this train wreck.
