Last Tuesday, the Detroit Lions announced that Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia will return for the 2020 season. Lions owner, Martha Firestone Ford, made a clear ultimatum that the 2019 season was unacceptable and will no longer be tolerated. Ford’s expectation for next season is for the team to be a playoff contender.
Former NFL head coach Dick Vermeil among others has weighed in on this matter. He believes the Lions would be making the biggest mistake to fire Patricia after two years as Vermeil himself lost in his first two seasons before eventually winning a Super Bowl.
