Why do it three weeks in, and not after last season?

I'm not shocked at all by this move especially after the Owner's son calls out his dad in the press and says he'd fire Millen if he was owner.

How about Matt Millen?

Wait a minute - didn’t he get fired?

Maybe he did and maybe he didn’t, depending upon who you are willing to believe. Two different National Football League sources - one of them close to the Fords - insist that the Millen firing earlier this season was just a ploy to appease angry fans of the 0-13 Lions and that Millen is still calling the shots and on the club’s payroll as a consultant. One NFL scout acknowledged that this rumour is making the rounds through the league and that while he couldn’t absolutely confirm it, it wouldn’t be shocking news to many in the football world. "It wouldn’t surprise me at all," he said. Added another NFL personnel type: "Whoever is calling the shots, they’re doing a terrible job at it."
