new Lions head coach Matt Patricia was indicted for sexual assault in ’96 but not prosecuted

Wow...

They really gnna just let this slide?

Forget innocent or not.

What kind of background checks they doing?!!

Cause a black exec coach player or equipment manager would NOT have had this "missed".
 
The Lions currently have on staff an offensive coordinator named Jim Bob Cooter who once climbed into a woman’s bedroom window, then got into bed with her naked. So they ain’t real big on background checks up there.
somebody should make a separate thread on this. Out all these cacs.

Didn't Peyton Manning have a run-in with a chick in college too?

The Detroit Lions opted for an outdoor practice in the snow on Thursday.

ALLEN PARK -- One day after the Lions went with a walkthrough practice, they decided to brave the steady snow falling at their Allen Park facility and use the blistery conditions to prepare for an indoor home game against the Panthers on Sunday.

Those Panthers decided to cancel their Thursday practice rather than spend it outdoors in the rain, as they don't have an indoor facility to use in times of inclement weather.

These Lions are different under Matt Patricia, though. They left the indoor facility alone as they did their work outdoors. Patricia coached defensive back drills in shorts, and chief of staff Kevin Anderson was shoveling the snow to clear room for players to be able to run.

Detroit was without three key players for the second straight day as wide receiver Marvin Jones (knee), defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson (ankle) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) all missed to nurse injuries.

On Wednesday, the Lions had a lengthy list of players who practiced in limited fashion: defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder), defensive tackle Snacks Harrison (shoulder), linebacker Eli Harold (shoulder), linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin (neck), cornerback Darius Slay (knee) and tight end Luke Willson (shoulder). All of those players were present Thursday, though a full practice report will be available in the late afternoon.

Jones' absence two weeks after the trade of Golden Tate to the Eagles has Detroit up against it to re-establish a passing game that has been the team's bread and butter since Matthew Stafford arrived. Despite the need to replace a high-volume slot receiver, the Lions opted two weeks ago to practice outside in the pouring rain and then spent Thursday in steady snow. Both weeks had indoor games on the slate.

After Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's outdoor practice, the Lions will have one more session Friday before they take on the 6-3 Panthers. Detroit is looking to snap a three-game losing streak to break out of a 3-6 record.

Detroit's game against Carolina on Sunday will mark its first of four straight in indoor venues, but that isn't stopping Patricia from tapping into his Central New York roots and choosing to practice the team outside in the snow.

 
Jim Caldwell have more wins in his first year with the Lions than Matt Patricia two years with that same organization...


Jim Caldwell had only had one losing season and made the playoffs twice in his four years as the head coach of the Lions....The other year he missed the playoffs, he had a winning record for the organization.
