1966
The situation went from bad to worse in '66, as the Leos won only one game for the first time since 1961. Things got so bad that Herb Capozzi, who had served as General Manager since 1957 and had taken the Lions to consecutive Grey Cups just two years earlier, was fired. Willie Fleming and Tom Hinton retired, and Joe Kapp left the team.
