Bob Quinn never considered firing his good friend Matt Patricia as head coach after reports first surfaced that Patricia was accused of sexual assault as a college undergrad.
Quinn, in his first public comments since the Patricia accusations came to light last May, said Friday he was "very comfortable" keeping Patricia as coach, after Patricia first came to him to tell him about the incident last spring.
