According to a report from Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia is coaching for his job on Sunday vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars.
La Canfora is reporting that many in the Lions’ organization believe there will be a coaching change if the Lions lose to the Jaguars.

There is mounting frustration within the Lions‘ front office about the team’s slow start and propensity to continue to blow big leads, with many in the organization believing a loss to the Jaguars on Sunday will result in a coaching change.
Although it has not been expressly conveyed by ownership, several Lions sources believe Week 6 to be a must-win in order to stave off a coaching change. At 1-3 the Lions are already three games behind the Bears and Packers in the division and have already lost to both teams in dramatic fashion (the Packers blew them out and the Bears scored 21 points in the fourth-quarter with soon-to-be-backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky to pull off the shocking comeback).
“This feels like do or die,” one Lions source said.
Nation, will the Lions beat the Jaguars on Sunday? If they do not, do believe Patricia will be fired?
