NFL coach firings and potential job openings: Everything you need to know (JOBS THAT COULD OPEN - Detroit Lions (3-10-1) Coach: Matt Patricia (9-20-1 over two seasons)  The Lions lost their seventh straight game Sunday, as they trailed 21-3 at the half to the Bucs and allowed Jameis Winston to throw for 308 yards before halftime. While not all of that can be placed on the coach, it is surely a sign of the team not improving. The fan base has started to speak with their attendance as well, as the stadium never looked close to full and rows in some sections of the lower bowl were almost completely empty. Things seem to be trending in the wrong direction for Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn. While the Ford family hasn't said anything about their status, the losses are piling up and frustration among the fan base is clearly high. -- Michael Rothstein):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28258949/nfl-head-coach-firings-hirings-openings-everything-know-hot-seats-job-candidates-more
