ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions are retaining general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia for the 2020 season, owner Martha Ford said Tuesday, giving the combination of former New England Patriots employees a third year together to try and build their program.
The Fords made it clear, though, that they expect improvement next season, which will be Quinn's fifth as general manager and Patricia's third as the team's head coach.
"We expect to be a playoff contender and those are our expectations," Ford said during a meeting with a small group of reporters Tuesday.
