Lions Fan coming peace – What’s your take on former GM Rick Smith?

Question for ya'll (did I use that right?), Rick Smith is reportedly going to interview with Detroit next week for the open GM spot. I took a quick look at him and found him a rather unique candidate. A guy with a lot of GM experience, some success in drafting very good players, and it's not often a guy like that was never actually "fired".

What's the general opinion of the job Smith did?
