Finally.
One hundred and fifty-seven days after being named the Detroit Lions' principal owner, Sheila Ford Hamp has fired general manager Bob Quinn and coach Matt Patricia.
It’s a decision that makes sense and was long overdue — I had argued it should have been done last winter — but that’s beside the point now. Because the Lions were going backward under Patricia and Quinn. And Hamp put an end to it. Finally.
So what does this tell us about Hamp? I’d argue a lot.
By making this move now, Hamp is making a clear statement that she will not tolerate losing and she is true to her word to fans.
