Every Detroit Lions coach has their moment. For Jim Caldwell, it was the pass back and forth kind of thing. For Jim Schwartz, it was cussing out booing hometown fans. And for Rod Marinelli, his sharp shovel led him took him right down the hole of 0-16.
Matt Patricia lasted just 43 games in Detroit, fewer than all three of his predecessors, but he still a few doozies that will go down in Lions lore. Here are a few of our favorites.
Super job
Patricia was fond of saying he had to coach better and his players had to execute better and a bunch of other blather, but he went all Bobby Ross I-don’t-coach-that-stuff after a Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears when asked if there was something about his coaching that kept costing the Lions second-half leads.
