Adrian, MI – A lot of people have expressed who they think should be the next coach of the Detroit Lions after coach Matt Patricia and GM Bob Quinn were let go this past Saturday by new owner, Sheila Ford Hamp. A bold move by the owner in respect that the Lions usually change coaches after the season is over. No doubt, everyone knew it was coming but when? My Tuesday partner, John Koehn had a twitter pole that asked what day and time will the firing take place? Since he put it up on Friday and the Ax came down on Saturday, not many listeners had a chance to react.

My next head coach will first and foremost be an experienced NFL leader that will have full control of the locker room like Patricia didn’t. Detroit needs an Offensive minded coach with a history of winning. Someone who is young enough to have the energy and enthusiasm to make a winner in Detroit. He needs to have a team that is not predictable with play calling, and have the ability to attract assistant coaches that subscribe to his way of formulating a cohesive team atmosphere. The new coach has to have a Defensive Coordinator that doesn’t have a team that let’s down in the 4 th quarter when holding a double-digit lead.

This coach should communicate well with the General Manager and have complete confidence by ownership. Most of all, the coach has to overcome the losing culture of the Lions that has permeated since the Championship year of 1953.

Do you think you know who that next coach is going to be? Does the owner have enough to choose from? The answers to these and other questions remain to be seen. I would like to hear what you think. You can send me an email at patth@wlen.com. I would love to hear from you and your thoughts. Or better yet, give us a call from 7-9am Tuesday or Thursday at 517-265-4000.
