Dan Orlovsky torches Matt Patricia for the Lions' immense regression | Keyshawn, JWill & Zubin 

We fired Caldwell at 9-7 and Patricia has 10 wins in 3 years

As a Detroit native & lifelong Lions fan I agree. Caldwell shouldn't have loss his job.

Pretty sure what Keyshawn is talking about of "happened before" is Tony Dungy building the Buccaneers and then Jon Gruden getting the credit for the Superbowl win and then falling apart after.

I said it before . Keep saying it . Coach Jim Cardwelll should have never loss his job for the Lions . Lions was headed in the right direction . Have Matt Patricia who is a terrible coach . Has a 10 won and loss 25 and 1 tie. Never had a winning season . He needs to be fired .

They tried to Mark Jackson him. Build a culture and right before the team is set to take the next step, u bring in another coach to get the credit. Back fired this time 🤷🏾‍♂️

It’s amazing coming back to this today, 3 years ago it was this, now we are NFC North Champs. What a turnaround

Feel bad for Caldwell, not for the Lions. Imagine having a coach like that as a poverty franchise and firing him after 3 of 4 winning seasons coming off of two straight.

“You know phony when you see it... EXACTLY!

I'm glad this situation is getting national attention. Patricia has been a plague in this team and this issue speaks more on the standards that are set up for each race. Caldwell had 3 winning seasons and 2 playoff berths, we're nowhere near that trend and worse is that we have effectively wasted Matthew Stafford

Darius Slay story was enough for me 🤷🏾‍♂️

Jim Caldwell as coach of the Lions, 3 of his 4 seasons were above .500. Matt Patricia hasn't been close to .500 in his tenure.

Let’s be real about this. Jim Caldwell was a great coach for the lions and was leading it in the right direction, but nooooo here go Dan Quinn bringing Matt Patricia like he’s going to do something. The man is 10-25-1 as the head coach like that’s horrible!

Went from respectable with Caldwell to bottom of the barrel with ol pencil!

As a Lions fan, this is an awesome take. Could not have been said better. "You know phony when you see it"

As much as people call dan trash, being a nfl starting qb is an accomplishment that many people never have regardless of how well you do. So he might be a bad starting quarterback, but being a qb for the nfl is impressive

Now O’Brien is gone, there are three more to go. Quinn, Patricia, and Gase are next. Patricia will be gone at the end of the year same with Quinn. Gase will be gone by Week 14 in my opinion. Also, imagine being up by 2 scores at the beginning of many games only to have your defense collapse at the end, Matt Patricia is a “defensive mastermind” yet his team can’t hold a lead to save his life. Adam Gase is an “offensive mastermind” yet just runs countless bubble screens, runs up the middle, and short passing concepts that never works. I say Gase is worse becuase he has no voice in the locker room, he just slumps under his cap.

Jim Caldwell is very underrated.

Why does it seems like Black coaches become successful and put their teams on a good track, but owners always feel that a ‘bigger name’ White coach can somehow take their teams to another level? I’ve seen it happened to Tony Dungy with the Bucs; with Jon Gruden winning a Super Bowl with the team he created a year after he was fired, but fell off afterwards. Seen it happened to Lovie Smith with the Bears. He leads them to a Super Bowl, had decent seasons afterwards, and then was fired and the Bears hadn’t been the same since. And also Caldwell with the Lions got screwed over by the next ‘great White hope’ in Patricia. The only Black coach who haven’t suffered that same fate is Mike Tomlin. That’s because he lucked out by working for an organization that believes in stability and have never fallen for those ‘win quick schemes’. Tomlin has coached the Steelers for 15 years and have never had a losing record. More Black coaches can achieve that level of success if given the opportunity,but most will never have that opportunity as long as owners remain impatient and continue to fall back to what makes them comfortable.

Facts. Miss Caldwell and can't wait to see tubby off my team's side of the field. Has the guy played a game of football in his life outside when he might have been a child?

I’ve been a lions fan my whole life, we been trash my whole life.. even the Barry years. Moved to Atl a few years ago.. starting to think I’m the one who is cursed.

Keyshawn: "Hey buddy we won it all together, let's celebrate! I've seen that before". Exactly what happened when Gruden took over for Dungy.

He's the worst coach in professional sports! Lions need new Ownership

It’s sad Jim Caldwell was a great coach and again if a white coach was at the record Jim Caldwell had he would’ve never got fired. Owenership wanted someone else that they can control.

That “I’ve seen that before” comment Keyshawn made was fully about Jon Gruden..

Look at this, Dan Orlovsky, one of the Detroit's most embarrassing QB's calling someone else terrible at their job

The reason to fire Caldwell is to get a better coach and I knew when lions hired matt I was skeptical Lions failed

Thank you for saying this!!! It’s about time, Caldwell was so under appreciated. Patricia was in over his head from the beginning. No one is talking about this

Looking back at this. I apologize to Jim Caldwell because I bought into the whole “well Caldwell didn’t challenge calls enough” and “well Caldwell was too soft on his players.” I fell for that scam and I am sorry. I wish Jim Caldwell all my very best and I hope he can get some much needed vindication down the road.

What a great analogy of how coach Caldwell was treated 👍

If Jim Caldwell had Bevell they would have won a playoff game or two. Our offense was always the problem with Caldwell too conservative and predictable. Lombardi and Cooter were not good choices for OC and it cost Caldwell his job (besides having an inept Gm who wanted to hire his friend)

I completely agree, I loved what coach Caldwell brought to the Lions and was shocked when they fired him. To bad the fords couldn’t see what was happening with Bob bring Pat in like they were gonna make something great.... Now they are both out and I’m one happy Lions fan! Wish we could bring Jim back!?

No lies were told here. I hate the whole darn organization 😩😩

im from Pontiac Mi. The real home of the Lions. Been a fan my whole 37 years on this planit. We all know its his fault we all know this team needs a new couch. have for 2 years now but that rich old lady up in that penthouse will not hear us out...

Matt Patricia made sure the Lions took the next step as an organization He made they made two steps back As long as you replace good black coaches with bad white coaches, I'm good....

This is the Mark Jackson to Steve Kerr situation all over again, only Matt Patricia isn't winning any rings.

They was right on the money with this one so much so subscribe.

As a lifelong Lions fan....Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia need a bus ticket out of town, ASAP! Coach Caldwell was a leader of men as HC of the Detroit Lions. The players loved playing for Coach Caldwell. Coach Caldwell went 36-28 in four seasons, had three winning seasons, and two playoff appearances. We all know the Lions got HOSED in Dallas on that bogus pick up the flag where three fouls occurred on the same play late in the WC playoff game with the Lions leading and driving to score. The NFL apologizing to the Lions after the loss...bunch of B.S.! Coach Caldwell handled that situation with dignity and class, even though it had to be eating him up inside. The knock on the Lions and Coach Caldwell was that they couldn't beat teams with a winning record and couldn't win the NFC North, but to fire a respected man like Coach Caldwell, and replace him with this HOT MESS OF A DUMPSTER FIRE in Coach Matt Patricia, who had absolute no Head Coaching experience whatsoever, is now completely laughable and sad at the same time. Matt Patricia is 10-25-1 as the Lions Head Coach. That is three losses away from what Coach Caldwell lost in his tenure. Patricia would have to go 26-2 over that span...not gonna happen! And for him to point fingers at everybody else and not look directly into the mirror to see what the problem actually is, is pathetic! The only difference is, is when the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of OZ" pointed fingers in the opposite direction to chose what road to go down, he actually did have a brain all along...

Actually Caldwell needed to go. But you were supposed to bring in someone to ramp it up. Like what the warriors did bringing in Steve Kerr to an already good team and he made it a Ferrari.

The GM needs to go too

Wasn’t dan orlovsky on the 0-16 lions team?

I like watching Keyshawn Jhonson talk, he always knows what he’s talking about.

They did Caldwell like they did his mentor, Tony Dungy in Tampa when they gave the keys to Gruden. But this time, it failed miserably! But the funny thing is Dungy went to Indy and WON as Super Bowl with Caldwell as his OC, retired, and then Caldwell took the team to the Super Bowl again, but lost. He takes over as OC halfway thru the season, revamps the Ravens’ offense, wins another Super Bowl.

well said! THANK YOU!

Patriots assistants that become head coaches, never pan out.

Someone bring in Caldwell to blast Patricia about having alot of work to do even though I know he's to humble for that

They use black coaches to entice free agents to come, after you get them in a long contract, you can fire him and bring in the recycled coach you wanted.

As a lions fan I been feeling pain for so looooong I done became numb I don’t make it better I gave by heart to Detroit they take it and they run

Charlie Weiss, Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini, Josh McDaniels, Matt Patricia, Bill O'Brien and probably Joe Judge pretty soon.....Sometimes you just gotta think that maybe, it was other people(Belichek and Brady) who created these guys and go a different route when finding a head coach

thank you dan it needs to be said

Dan is right on the money!!

Caldwell should've never been fired and he should be the HEAD COACH of another team right now

Being a Lions fan now is like reliving the Matt Millen era

I'm a die hard lions fan. I'm so tired of the same stuff every year. Please get rid of Patricia so we can move on.

I keep saying I wouldn’t never hire a Pats assistant for anything but they keep hiring these type of coaches🖐🖐🤦🏽‍♂️

Lifelong lions fan here, and this video is painful to watch, because is so true! Also, painful because "the good old days" were the days of playing good/not great football and sometimes sneaking into the playoffs.

What do you honestly expect they had the greatest rb and 1 of the greatest receivers ever to play the game retire when they clearly had so much more in the tank

So now everyone says "why did Detroit fire Caldwell when he was 9-7." Meanwhile, Bill O'Brien had winning records 6 of his 7 years, won the division 4 times, and won a playoff game last year, and everyone is applauding his firing. Sports media group think.

we've come so far!! Brand New Lions!

Thank you sir. Somebody has sense

When players like and “ Respect “ their coaches , they’ll play their butts off because the coach believes in them and not in himself and his schemes! But his players being able to modify those plays to work toward their strengths. Caldwell had the players respect and they like him ! But it’s not all the GM fault, too many Lion fans wanted Caldwell gone too, thinking Patricia could do better ( pfft) well there you have it , replace a VETERAN COACH with a newbie this what you get! Be careful what you ask for!

Caldwell reached his ceiling but to think Matt Patricia was a better option is weird. Only to fire both him and the GM a couple years later. I’ll never understand this franchise.

As a Lions fan from Michigan this is how every fan in state feels. I was pissed and gave up on the organization when they fired Caldwell

Doesn’t matter who’s the coach, Lions will always suck 💯

Lmao “I’ve seen that before” he’s definitely referring to Jon Gruden and the Bucs situation

Why be a lions fan when you can be a Trace McSorley fan?

Let’s be real. Detroit tried pulling what Tampa Bay did to Tony Dungy and ended up in the same situation. Dungy has built up a team that was only a piece or so away for Gruden to inherit. But once they won the super bowl, Gruden tore that thing down fast! Patricia has torn it down even faster with Dan Quinn. Just sad Dungy’s disciple had to go through it too!

Coach Caldwell, Mike Singletary, Tony Dungy ...the list goes on!!!

Dan orvlowski to coach the lions!!! Make it happen!!! This guy KNOWS WHATS UP!!!!

Wow ESPN talking about somebody else besides the cowboys and Tom Brady props

It’s in the atmosphere of the locker room, the teammates, the owner, the coach,.

It’s finally done Patricia is gone

I find it hilarious that Dan Orlovsky can say anything about the Detroit Lions after his impedance in 2008 as their QB.

Caldwell made the Lions respectable but Patrica brought back tradition 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

Good job fellas.

I love when Orlovski gets fired up

Dan & Key spoke the truth 💯💯💯

I wouldn't be talking if I'm the guy who had no idea if I stepped out of bounds or not LMFAO 😅😂🤣😆😸🤣😅

Leading them in a better direction that dan orlovsky ever did lol

Amen 🦁

I'm not even a Lions fan, and I believed from the beginning that firing Caldwell was dumb. The man was actually winning and had a winning culture in Detroit, and you get rid of him? Absolutely ridiculous. I hope Patricia's horrible tenure will stop teams from picking from a great coach's "tree of coaching apples" so to speak, such as those coming from the Belicheck tree or Jimmy Johnson tree.

Key is talking about Dungy and Gruden situation in TB.

S/O to Keyshawn for that last statement

Belichick coaches who go off on their own stink cause they try to replicate what belichick does which only Bill can do, Flores in Miami isn’t doing that, that’s why he’s been somewhat successful

As much as I love coach BB he can not run every position on his staff. That's why he picks each and every member of the coaching staff for hiz..or hers...very special, individual skills. It is like pieces in a puzzle: you can not just take a piece and fit it into another puzzle!

kinda ironic this is coming from dan orlovsky though, dude had a big part in us going 0-16 when he just ran out of the back of the endzone for no reason against the vikings i wanna say

Imagine hiring Dan Orlovsky as a "football analyst"

When Key said he’s seen it before we all know he’s talking about Tony Dungy

I mean it’s obvious now but I sure remember losing to gb for the division when they tried to give it to us for two years and couldn’t take it, that’s the reason he was fired we had a really good team that couldn’t get passed that last hurdle, but yeah they made to big of a change for that team, he was a rebuild hire that wasn’t hired on a team being rebuilt

Never thought I ever say this but Dan has some Buffs worthy statement. Being a Lions fan this has been embarrassing to watch. Frustrating seeing how this team has transitioned and seeing how close we were to begin able to possibly drafting certain prospects then they win a pointless game out of nowhere

Let’s hope the Fords really invest in a GM and a Head Coach who can bring the players and the system to make this original NFL franchise a consistent winner 💪👍

I don’t agree with many things Orlovsky says but he’s absolutely on point here

As a Vikings fan thank you. Lions never should have made the change.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never ever have enough. -Oprah Winfrey

How does dan orlovsky get to put criticism on anyone, what are his credentials other than running oit the back of the endzone

I'll admit I was ready for a change after how we ended 2016 and the entirety of 2017. However I will say I was pretty skeptical of Patricia's hiring because I knew how New England coordinators usually fair as head coaches. I now regret that we ever let Caldwell go. Especially since Patricia's best record with Detroit is 6-10, and Caldwell's WORST record was 7-9. Think about that. A coach of the Detroit Lions, one of the most inept organizations in sports, his worst record was 7-9 and they fired him after 4 years

Jim Caldwell is still available. Time to bring him back?

As a Patriots fan....Patricia didn't do anything here. Except let offenses carve us up by NOT BRINGING pressure on the QB until Belichick would step in and call the defense. He isnt our problem anymore. Bill played the Chiefs to a score of 6-3, with multiple opt outs on defense, and Brian Hoyer and Jared Stidham at QB. The Chiefs ! He's held them to NO TOUCHDOWNS in the first half the last 4 games. Patricia about to use up whatever juice he had from working for Belichick.

Patricia 👈 YOU'RE FIRED!

12 more games until Patricia and the GM get booted out. He inherited a team that not only had a winning record with the previous coach but made it to the playoffs and turned it into a lottery team!

I stopped listening to dan after he said "sam darnold is way better than dak prescott"...smh
