Albom: Only time will tell if new Mighty Quinn will work

He swatted away every difficult question. That much, apparently, he has learned from Bill Belichick.

No, Bob Quinn said, he hasn’t made a decision on coach Jim Caldwell. Yes, he will speak to him. No, he hasn’t talked to Calvin Johnson. Yes, he likes Matthew Stafford. No, he doesn’t have an overnight plan for winning. Yes, character counts in players. No, he won’t rely on just the draft to build the roster. And yes, he feels ready for this high-ranking job — even though he won’t turn 40 until later this year.

The new Mighty Quinn seems like a nice young man with a lovely family and an excellent pedigree.
