Matt Patricia has 'no hard timeline' on coaching staff changes

ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia has not made any decisions yet on the fate of some of his assistant coaches following the end of the 2018 season, instead choosing to wait for the emotions of the season to settle down before potentially making any cuts.

The biggest one, in particular, would be offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, whose job status has been in question for over a month.

“It’s only fair at this point of the season for all aspects of the team, players, coaches, personnel, all of it, to allow the emotion of the season to come down,” Patricia said.
