Detroit Lions should have given Matt Patricia till the end of the season

The Detroit Lions have finally moved on from head coach Matt Patricia after a horrendous tenure in the Motor City which saw him combine to go 13-29-1. Subsequently, general manager Bob Quinn, the guy who brought in Patricia, was fired too.

While there’s no doubt their time was coming to and end and that they both deserved to be shown the door, the Lions should have waited till the conclusion of the season to let go of them.
