One prominent Detroit Lion was happy to see Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn go, and the team's decision to fire its coach and general manager Saturday could pave the way for that player to stay in Detroit for years to come.
Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay was one of at least five current or former players who liked a post from the NFL's official Instagram feed Saturday announcing news of Patricia's dismissal.
Former Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch, running back Dwayne Washington and wide receivers Lance Moore and Jay Lee also liked the post, which included a picture of Patricia with a "Breaking - Lions Fire Matt Patricia" caption.
