Lions Decide To Keep Coach Patricia, GM Quinn For '20 Season

Lions Owner & Chair Martha Firestone Ford met with coach Matt Patricia and Exec VP & GM Bob Quinn this morning and "informed them that they will return" for the '20 NFL season. The Lions have "lost seven straight games and 10 of 11 after a 2-0-1 start and are guaranteed to finish in last place in the NFC North for a second straight season." But the Fords "saw enough progress in the first half of the season." With three years left on their contracts, both Patricia and Quinn "will be on the hot seat" entering '20. Meanwhile, the Lions also are "holding most ticket prices firm for 2020, and lowering others, as they deal with fan unrest" (DETROIT FREE PRESS, 12/17).
