I gave serious consideration to including both names but Other is the only credit for which they are currently worthy.Matt Patty then BOB way ahead of the field on this one
He parlayed "coaching" the Michael Jordan of football, Peyton Manning, into 2 head coaching jobs.Gase must be the Michael Jordan of interviews because his head coaching talent ends there.
That's why I didn't give him top billing in this poll. He's awful in so many ways but deep down he knows it. Gase has zero awareness about the situation.Bob is an awful GM but he is an average ish coach--maybe below average but he has made the playoffs with Brock Osweiler and Brian Hoyer as his starting QBs

The Lions fired Jim Caldwell for going 9-7.DocHolliday said:It’s Patricia today. Horrible coaching. He isn’t making it through the season.
alienating the locker room and Detroit's best player (Slay) the way he did was the biggest red flag imo. that, losing, and a general hubris was the MO of Josh McDaniels when he ran the Broncos into the ground. Patricia looks to be doing the exact same thing to Detroit.The Lions fired Jim Caldwell for going 9-7.
Matt Patricia took over and is now 9-23-1.
Three openers:
• Lost to the Jets by 31 at home. NY won 3 of their last 15.
• Blew an 18-point 4the Q lead to a rookie QB.
• Blew a 17-point 4th Q lead to a pedestrian QB who has lot them up for 9TDs in his last 3 wins over Detroit. Trubisky has 11 passing TDs in the other 14 games during that span.
I don’t know how Other isn’t running away with this.
I saw a stat that showed Patricia has lost a fourth quarter lead in over a third of his games.The Lions fired Jim Caldwell for going 9-7.

Still trying to figure that one outAny coach that goes for it on 4th and 3 in the 4th quarter in the redzone when trailing by 3.
That’s amazing.The Lions have one playoff win in 63 years....
Wow
They actually made the playoffs and actually won a playoff game?The Lions have one playoff win in 63 years....
Wow
If this is the criteria, it's gotta be Kevin Stefanski. 38-6 and .000 win percentage.TwinTurbo said:Factoring in week 1 and their career W/L record, who gets your vote?
Detroit Lions' Inability to Close Continues to Haunt Matt Patricia
Matt Patricia says it’s not his coaching that causes blown leads (FanSided article with autoplay video)
Wow. How does an owner listen to that and not immediately take the microphone away and say, "Yeah, that's enough. You're fired."“Is there something in your coaching that maybe isn’t happening for you to close out games?” Mike O’Hara asked of the coach. “Yeah, I don’t think so Mike. I think I’ve got one of the biggest plays in the fourth quarter in the history of the NFL where I think I did a pretty good job. So, I don’t think it’s that,” Patricia responded. What play is he referring to? Malcolm Butler intercepting Russell Wilson on the 1-yard line in Super Bowl XLIX.
This is probably the only race in which Patricia has been competitive.Andy Dufresne said:It's a two horse race between Gace & Patricia.
Patricia alienated an All Pro cornerback by calling him a ########## for cozying up to opposing wide receivers, alienated a ten year vet who was the best leader in the clubhouse, and ran one of the best slot corners in the league outta town bc he was buds with both of them. Absolutely pointless junior high malarkey.Gase is locker room poison. His players can't stand playing for him. He is awful.
You're there, I'm not, but I've seen little evidence of this.Patricia talks a great game but gets no results.
We he talks he sounds like he knows all the Xs and Os and ins and outs. Just not getting it done on the field. The dropped pass by Swift cost them a W but they still gave up 21 points in 10 minutes in the 4thPatricia alienated an All Pro cornerback by calling him a ########## for cozying up to opposing wide receivers, alienated a ten year vet who was the best leader in the clubhouse, and ran one of the best slot corners in the league bc he was buds with both of them.

I'm sure he's a smart guy. But he doesn't understand HOOMans.
With 4 CBs with hammy issues - and nine (9) players out or limited with hamstring issues - he still had them rushing 3 and playing man to man. They do not have the personnel to play more man coverage than any team in the league. Maddening.We he talks he sounds like he knows all the Xs and Os and ins and outs.

Yes, don`t understand that part. Lions were almost last in the NFL in pressure last season and they are sticking with the same scheme.With 4 CBs with hammy issues - and nine (9) players out or limited with hamstring issues - he still had them rushing 3 and playing man to man.

I think most coaches have their 1 scheme they believe in and they are going to stick with it regardless. It worked one time before, so it must be great and the only way to go. If they don't have the personnel for it, that is the players fault.Yes, don`t understand that part. Lions were almost last in the NFL in pressure last season and they are sticking with the same scheme.
On this date: Lions crush Cowboys for only playoff win in Super Bowl era (January 5, 2020)They actually made the playoffs and actually won a playoff game?
wow
Did you watch any of the jets game? BOB may be trying to kill his franchise qb, but at least he inherited a team that can play football.BOB should be the clear favorite here. He’s not only a top option for consideration for worst coach, but he’s probably the 1.1 pick for worst GM too. He’s a double threat!
