Allen Park — A day after firing special teams coordinator Joe Marciano, Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia offered a vote of confidence for offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.
"I think all of our coaches have really worked hard," Patricia said. "They're doing everything they can to help us win each and every week and Jim Bob obviously falls in that category. He's done a really good job for us this year.
"We're certainly looking to get better, which obviously when you come out of a week where we don't perform well enough on Sunday, it's easy to kind of look at all that.
