Today Martha Ford the owner of the Detroit Lions announced that head coach Matt Patricia and GM Bob Quinn will be returning this coming year!
According to Mike O’Hara:
This year has been injury filled, confusing, and lack of energy from the team. Detroit continues to fight in each game, but has YET to find consistency… something that Matt Patricia has been preaching since his arrival.
Detroit did have the lead in the first 12 games this season and that’s something to build off of.
Detroit will have to find a new defensive coordinator after this season… well hopefully because their defense has been terrible!
The Ford family also announced they won’t sell the team.
Lions ownership has told Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn they will be back in 2020 with expectation to be playoff contender next season.

Also, Jeff Bezos rumor is junk. Ford family confirms it has no intention of selling the franchise to Amazon founder or anyone else.
Some Lions fans are upset about this move…
