Get to know Matt Patricia, the next head coach of the Detroit Lions. Video by Brian McNamara, Detroit Free Press Wochit
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – This story is about rocks, but not really.
The rocks that Matt Patricia spent seven or eight hours picking up at a farm in central New York one day in the spring of 1992.
He did it willingly and with a smile on his face, and it perhaps helps explain why everyone gushes about the soon-to-be Detroit Lions coach’s work ethic and passion for football.
Twenty-hour days at the office doing something you love are nothing when you’ve seen the alternative, even if only for a day.
