ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Bob Quinn heard it over and over again. He heard it from his old boss, Bill Belichick. He heard it from friends who had worked in New England and then left to try to run their own teams. It was a common message, and it's something that has stuck with him in his first seven months in Detroit.
"Don't try to be Bill."
"Bill" is Belichick, the New England Patriots head coach who also overseen all of the football operations for the most successful franchise in the NFL over the past 15 years.
