Matt Patricia on the Importance of Punctuality: 'It Depends'

Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia appears to think being punctual isn't as important as having proper posture.

Two months ago, Patricia snapped at a reporter for not sitting up straight enough during a press conference, telling the reporter to have "a little respect for the process."

But when the first-year coach arrived 15 minutes late to a press conference that was already pushed back 30 minutes from its original scheduled time? It didn't seem to faze him.

A reporter asked Patricia about his issues with being on time on Wednesday, questioning the importance of punctuality for a first-year coach.
