It is no mystery that former Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia ruled with an iron fist and rubbed quite a few players the wrong way before he was eventually shown the door.
In fact, since Patricia was replaced by Darrell Bevell, the mood around the Lions facility in Allen Park, according to multiple reports, has been like night and day.
On Thursday, Lions RB Adrian Peterson told reporters that football is “back to being fun” again after the Lions’ coaching change.

The more players that throw shade at Patricia, the more it baffles me as to what took ownership so long to fire him.
