Linebacker Larry Foote forced his way out of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then signed with the Detroit Lions.  It starting to look like that he is already regretting that decision.

Foote in an interview with WDFN relayed some already noticeable differences.  Those being there is a lot more swearing as he has heard more f-bombs in one day than he did in five years with the Steelers and the practice more military style versus the Steelers laid back approach.

The thing is about that type of coaching is that it can work at first, but if the Lions don’t start to win very soon, then the players will tune the coaches out.  That will ultimately lead to worst season, and then the coaches being fired.

Foote should regret leaving the Steelers as he is a fool for leaving a classy one of the best organiztion in the National Football League.

It is understandable what Foote wants as he left the Steelers to become a fulltime starter, which in Pittsburgh he was not going to get.  He shared time and won two Superbowls with the Steelers, thus he probably felt it was his time to seek what he wants.

The fact of the matter is Superbowl championships do not grow on trees.  The Lions have not made the playoffs since 1999 and the Steelers in that time have won two Superbowls and have made the playoffs numerous times.

Luckily Foote has only a one year contract, so he can return to the Steelers once the season is over with.

After 2009 he will most likely be thankful for only signing one year as the Lions will have another horrible season.
