No full-time Detroit Lions coach has left Detroit and gone on to hold the same position with another team. If Matt Patricia becomes the first, Lions defensive end Trey Flowers said he is unsure whether Patricia would alter how he handles players or runs a defense.
"His way, he won and was successful with his way," Flowers said. "So if he feels as though his way can work, should work, and he wanted to continue to demonstrate things his way, then he would do that. And he’s been very successful doing things his way, so whether he would change it up or not, I’m not sure.
