Via 97.1 The Ticket:
While Quin doesn’t bear any ill will toward Patricia as a person, his feelings for the football coach are a different matter. He blames Patricia’s ‘Patriots attitude’ for the Lions’ regression the past two seasons. Instead of building on the positive culture Jim Caldwell left behind, Quin says Patricia blew it up and tried to start over. Detroit is 9-22-1 since.
“We were changing the perception for the Detroit Lions, and then all of sudden Matt Patricia comes in and feels like, I gotta change the whole culture,” said Quin. “And we’re like, ‘You don’t have to change the culture. The culture is good. They just maybe want you to get us over the hump.’ …
“Coach Patricia came in and tore it all down and a lot of the guys didn’t really want to buy into what he was teaching because of the way he presented it. His attitude, his persona, his arrogance, things like that made people not really want to buy into it. That was the disconnect.”
Patricia is most definitely on the hot seat this coming season.
Not only has he absolutely done nothing in Detroit to make them any better, it seems none of his players even like the guy.
