It’s been a rough 2018 for former Detroit Lions offensive line coach Ron Prince. First, he—along with head coach Jim Caldwell—was fired on New Year’s Day following a disastrous season for Detroit’s offensive line. But that was just the beginning.
Over the course of the next three months, his name would be dragged across the media as one of the scapegoats for the Lions’ disappointing season. “I’ve been covering the NFL since 2013, and I’ve never heard a coach ripped this much by players, former players and people around the league,” MLive’s Kyle Meinke wrote this week after talking to people within NFL circles at last week’s NFL Combine.
