Is Matt Patricia on the hot seat?

After a 6-10 season in his first year with the Detroit Lions, it’s easy to understand that head coach Matt Patricia’s job security might not be that great. According to one NFL writer, he might be in trouble already.

Dan Hanzus created a list of all 32 NFL coaches and where they rank in job security. Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots was at the top of the list. Round out the top five is Sean McVay, Sean Payton, John Gruden, and Doug Pederson.

Detroit’s head coach fell at 29th on this list. The bottom five on this list are on category labeled, “danger”. Here’s more from Hanzus on Patricia:

“The Lions fired Jim Caldwell after back-to-back 9-7 seasons, hired Patricia, then watched the team backslide into a 6-10 finish in 2018. The former Patriots defensive coordinator is tied to GM Bob Quinn (also formerly of the Patriots) and quarterback Matthew Stafford, who are all under contract through 2022. But it is very possible all three of these men are out of Detroit if the Lions deliver a double-digit-loss encore in 2019. Playing in the stacked NFC North, there is reason for pessimism.”
