Detroit Lions' Sheila Ford Hamp made the right move in firing Bob Quinn, too

Free Press sports writer Carlos Monarrez answers three questions after the Detroit Lions fired head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn on Saturday:

Should Sheila Ford Hamp have fired Bob Quinn?

Absolutely. Bob Quinn was hired to recreate the New England Patriots’ magic by hiring Matt Patricia. It was his one great idea, and most people don’t have two. Quinn and Patricia were always tied at the hip and should have succeeded or failed together. And if you look at Quinn’s track record, he had very few outstanding successes. He got half a good season out of trading for Damon Harrison and drafted one legitimate Pro Bowler in Kenny Golladay, with Jamal Agnew’s All-Pro season looking increasingly like a fluke.
