Circulating all over media outlets, the Detroit Lions are pegged to sign New England Patriots’ defensive coordinator Matt Patricia as the new head coach. Given the recent success of the Patriots, one would imagine this makes for the best signing. Not entirely.
Understandably, nabbing Patricia would kill two birds with one stone, assuming he calls the defensive plays. Thus lessening the burden and pressure of finding a better defensive coordinator.
First you have to ask yourself this question, what is the Lions’ biggest weakness? If you said defensive line, especially interior pass rush, you’re getting warm.
