Matt Patricia Reportedly Has a New Team to Destroy
Okay, I admit that my headline is a bit harsh. But, Matt Patricia isn’t well liked in Detroit. His time with the Detroit Lions left much to be desired, and around here, people just don’t like Patricia.
I’m sure he’s a nice guy. And, hey, he’s had a very long career in the NFL, so he’s obviously very talented. Now, it appears Matt Patricia is leaving New England and heading to another team. That team is a really good one, too.
On Thursday (April 20), ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted out that the Philadelphia Eagles have hired Patricia as a senior defensive assistant. As of right now, he’s not listed on the team’s website. But, Schefter is rarely wrong. “And now it is official: Eagles have hired former Patriots’ assistant coach Matt Patricia as their new senior defensive assistant, per sources,” he tweeted. Time will tell if this is a match made in Heaven or not.
