Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia has been hearing the rumors swirl for weeks now surrounding his job security.
Following this afternoon’s 20-7 loss that saw his team’s record dip to 3-9-1, Patricia was once again asked by the media about how he felt regarding the scrutiny over his performance as Lions head coach.
“I mean, I’m in the NFL. I’ve been in the NFL a long time. I know what the NFL is about. So, I do understand that (it’s about wins and losses),” Patricia said. “But I also understand what we’re trying to do. I know there have been a lot of coaches who have taken over programs and really tried to start and build something and work from the bottom and try to grow it and build it, and I know what those records looked like too when those guys started out. For me, I try not to look at that stuff.”
