DETROIT, MICHIGAN - NOVEMBER 26: Head coach Matt Patricia of the Detroit Lions (Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images)
The New England Patriots welcomed a familiar face back into the fold this offseason, as Bill Belichick re-hired former defensive assistant Matt Patricia.
The RPI graduate is coming into this season without tons of positive vibes after he was recently fired following a miserable stint as the head coach of the Detroit Lions.
Patricia’s time in Detroit was apparently so bad that defensive lineman Michael Brockers, who arrived from Los Angeles this offseason after nearly a decade with the Rams, already had a bone to pick with him.
