Detroit Lions Special Teams Coach Stan Kwan doesn't have his priorities in order.

I live near the Lions practice facility. A number of the players and coaches have homes in that area, and some of them frequent bars in that pocket of Wayne County. There's no problem with that, except for the fact that I've seen Kwan - several times - at one of those establishments hours before kickoff.

I've heard stories about players (Chad OchoCinco) and coaches (pick one) who live and breathe football. They're at the practice facility before everyone else. They even sleep there on occasion. Those are usually the greats. Stan Kwan is the Special Teams Coach for the team that nine months ago finished the first 0-16 season in the history of the NFL. Why are you at a bar when you should be breaking down tape and game-planning. Sure, I've seen Kwan jotting down notes at times, sitting his pad next to a tall Bud Light. But when you see how the unit he is responsible for plays each weeks, it's easy to assume someone knocked that beer over, causing it to spill over to his notes and kill his game plan in the process.

How is he still employed? The Lions Special Teams unit has ranked as one of the worst in the NFL since Kwan took over the position in 2007 (Kwan has been a part of the Detroit's Special Team's staff for 10 years in two separate stints). Never mind that his players on special teams couldn't cover Thanksgiving leftovers with Reynold's Wrap. Never mind that the team's long punt return in 2008 was 27 yards (it's possible that could have been better, but when you're defense only forces 21 points in 16 games, what are you gonna do), while the long for Lions' opponents was 80 yards and a touchdown.

How is he still employed? At this point - considering his unit's performance in Saturday night's preseason loss to the Cleveland Browns, where Special Special Teamer (I borrowed that from my boy, Ro) Joshua Cribbs ran a punt back 84 yards for a score and had a long kick return he took to the crib wiped out - Kwan is about as employable as those losers who appear in Real World/Road Rules Challenge after Real World/Road Rules Challenge.

I understand you're not supposed to take much out of a preseason gave (save the 3rd tilt, which just so happens to be against the Indianapolis Colts Saturday. Start the Death March.), but the Lions special teams hasn't been good for some time now.

Kwan has been apart of that unit for a decade.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the team should do to remedy a BIG part of the problem.
