Former Detroit Lions defensive back Glover Quin ripped coach Matt Patricia and said that he was the one who was the problem in the team’s locker room.

“We were changing the perception for the Detroit Lions, and then all of sudden Matt Patricia comes in and feels like, I gotta change the whole culture,” Quin said of the former New England Patriots coach who took the reins in 2018. “And we’re like, 'You don’t have to change the culture. The culture is good. They just maybe want you to get us over the hump.’”
Quin added: “Coach Patricia came in and tore it all down and a lot of the guys didn’t really want to buy into what he was teaching because of the way he presented it. His attitude, his persona, his arrogance, things like that made people not really want to buy into it. That was the disconnect.”
