I think he's glad that he finally got his chance even if it's in the coaching black hole of Detroit.

I don't know if you are a Tampa Bay fan a Lions fan, or just a follower of the NFL, but I have a question for you.
I am a life-long Lions fan, and was a year old when they last won a championship. I have noticed a pattern with the pundits indicated when Millen took over, and when Rod Marinelli, Bobby Ross, and even the former Baltimore coach who died of a heart attack took over; and that was not realizing the lack of talent when they made their decision.
These guys were all professional head coaches, coordinators, or had coached against the Lions, when they took the position. How could they not realize the Lions were lacking hugely in talent when they took over?
Now with respect to whether or not he's glad, there are only 32 of them. I suspect that every one of them except maybe the Raiders is coveted.
Ego and confidence would lead one to believe that they are the one to bring greatness back to the Lions (good luck!).
But if you are a coordinator or position coach and you have aspirations to move up, what is it that you aspire to become? You desire to become one of the 32 head coaches in the NFL. For this reason alone, I believe he is glad to be head coach of the Lions.
Such as it is, he finally made it. He's on of those coveted 32! Well, maybe 31...
