ALLEN PARK, Mich. – The Detroit Lions hired Randy Edsall soon after Bob Quinn was hired as the team’s general manager. Edsall helped Quinn get his first big break when he was a graduate assistant at UConn, placing a call to help him get a gig with the New England Patriots.
That gig eventually led Quinn to becoming Detroit’s GM in January. After Edsall was hired by the Lions, it wasn’t completely clear what his role would end up being.
There’s a little more clarity now.
