Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pkrjones" data-source="post: 948269" data-attributes="member: 9982">While I don't condone a coordinator "going rogue" the situation in Detroit in December of '20 wasn't good.  Matt Patricia was fired as HC on 11/28/20 and Darrell Bevel was named interim HC.  The 5-9 Lions travel to 9-5 Tennessee Titans and the Titans had just scored a TD with an 83 yard, 4:39 drive.  With 12 minutes left in the 4th Quarter the Lions are down 32-18 at their own 31 with 4th & 4 yds to go.  Coombs tried a bold move by faking the punt and got 3.9 yards when they needed 4 for the 1st down.  Bevell fired him the next day.  After going 5-11 Bevell was fired from Detroit, also.  I wouldn't condone this from a coordinator, but I do agree with this writer that it was kind of a "screw it, let's make something happen" moment for Coombs.  <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ftw/2020/12/22/lions-fired-coach-doing-something-awesome/4004913001/" target="_blank">https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ftw/2020/12/22/lions-fired-coach-doing-something-awesome/4004913001/</a></blockquote>
