Since Millen's arrival in 2001, the Lions are 31-83, 52 games below .500, and have lost 9 or more games each season. During the early part of Millen's tenure (2001-2003), the Lions failed to win a road game for three years (0-24) before opening the season with a win at the Chicago Bears in 2004. Overall, the Lions are 8-48 on the road since 2001.[5] Millen himself admitted to an interviewer in 2008 that the team's record under his leadership has been "beyond awful". The Wall Street Journal said that NFL executives admit in private that Millen "has made more bad draft decisions than anyone else in two centuries."
Despite the team's record on the field, Matt Millen is the second highest paid general manager in the NFL
