Allen Park — There’s a popular saying among Lions fans, particularly on social media: “In Quinn We Trust.”
I’m not here to suggest general manager Bob Quinn is some sort of football deity, at least not until he brings a Super Bowl to this city, but he’s earned some early adulation from the fan base for savvy drafting, quality free-agent additions and prudent cap management.
But Quinn has doubled down on the most-debated decision of his still-young tenure captaining Detroit’s front office, awarding coach Jim Caldwell a multiyear extension, a little more than a year and a half after opting to retain the veteran coach he inherited after joining the organization last year.
