Dave Birkett, Shawn Windsor and Carlos Monarrez break down Matt Patricia’s introductory news conference as the new Detroit Lions coach.
Rod Wood insists he didn't set out to build the Midwest version of the New England Patriots when he oversaw a change in the entire Detroit Lions operation some two years ago, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise that’s what’s happened.
Wood hired Ernie Accorsi as a consultant to help the Lions find a general manager late in the 2015 season. Accorsi delivered Bob Quinn as general manager a month or so later, and last week Quinn hired Matt Patricia as head coach.
