When Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell replaced the old regime of Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia, the culture in the Detroit Lions‘ organization was toxic. Players did not want to play for the Lions, as Patricia treated them poorly. In fact, some players made it clear how thankful they were when they were shipped out of town because they did not fall in line with Patricia’s dictatorship. But that was then and this is now.
