Quinn won’t meddle in Lions’ coaching decisions

Mobile, Ala. — Lions general manager Bob Quinn discussed the importance of collaboration between the personnel department and coaching staff, but that doesn’t mean the new boss will meddle in coaching decisions.

During his 10-minute interview session with Detroit reporters at the Senior Bowl Wednesday, Quinn said he won’t tell coach Jim Caldwell and his staff how to use the players he acquires.

“I’m not going to suggest how to use players,” he said. “I’m going to bring the players to the team; the coaches are going to use them. What I’m going to ask the coaches to do is to develop them.
