Wednesday open thread: Is Matt Patricia on the hot seat?

Related Topics: Matt Patricia, Detroit Lions, thread

The Detroit Lions suffered another loss on Sunday to bring their divisional record this season to 0-3, and their overall record to a disappointing 3-5-1. This isn’t the way anyone hoped the season would go, and it’s raising some very valid questions surrounding the direction of the organization.

Question of the day: Is Matt Patricia on the hot seat?

My answer: No.

I know it’s tempting to say so, but if you look at the reality of the situation, Matt Patricia isn’t going anywhere after this year. He’s got a leash alongside general manager Bob Quinn of at least one more season, and I think anything short of a playoff appearance (no matter how good their record) will have them both out the door at that point.
