A decision on Jim Bob Cooter’s future as Detroit Lions offensive coordinator will have to wait until the new year.
Lions coach Matt Patricia said in his season-ending news conference Monday that he has not decided whether to bring Cooter back for another season as play caller and that he wanted “to allow the emotion of the season to come down” before making any staffing decisions.
“I don’t think I need to put a hard (deadline on making a decision) at this current moment,” Patricia said. “But obviously we have a timeline that we do have to address with it and things will come up when they come up.
