Should the Detroit Lions fire Bob Quinn? The pros and cons

Why the Detroit Lions should ‘Keep Quinn’

Quinn was forced to keep Jim Caldwell

As we already stated, this is a complex issue and needs some nuance explained. In fairness to Quinn he was basically saddled with former head coach Jim Caldwell for a time due to his hire date.

The good coaching candidates had been hired and if Quinn had the inclination to hire someone, it would have been a poor time to do so.

Additionally, it was well known that Mrs. Ford liked Caldwell very much and seemed to indicate that she wanted to keep him around. Perhaps it took a period of time for her to give her consent to having him let go.

Local Channel Four newsman and sportswriter, Steve Garagiola tweeted this comment after Ford seemed to praise Caldwell in an over-the-top summary of his impact on the Lions franchise. Everyone has to worry about keeping the boss happy at times.
