Allen Park -- The Detroit Lions have parted ways with Jim Bob Cooter, opting not to renew the offensive coordinator's contract. The team offered no additional comment on the decision.
On Monday, when asked about potential staff changes, Lions coach Matt Patricia said everyone needed time for the emotions of the season to settle.
"I think it’s only fair, at this point of the season, for all aspects of the team, players, coaches, personnel, all of it, to allow the emotion of the season to come down and for everybody to just have that opportunity to clear your head and then go back through and analyze everything from that standpoint to see what is best for the team moving forward, in all aspects," Patricia said.
