The Browns have hired former Lions GM Bob Quinn as a Senior Consultant (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Quinn will act as a “sounding board” for GM Andrew Berry as he returns to football for the first time since November of last year. 
Quinn, a longtime scout/exec for the Patriots, was hired as the Lions’ GM in January of 2016. After inheriting Jim Caldwell, he made his first official head-coaching hire in Matt Patricia.
The Lions fired Quinn and Patricia shortly after their blowout Thanksgiving loss. It was a trying year for the Lions — they missed the playoffs for a fourth straight season and had just dropped back-to-back games against the Panthers and Texans in embarrassing fashion. And, in the (almost) three years leading up to Quinn’s firing, they posted a 13-29-1 record.
Despite all of that, some believed that Quinn would still garner serious consideration in the early 2021 GM cycle. That didn’t happen, so he’ll spend the year with the Browns’ FO.
Gross.
Hilarious.
‘The Lions fired Quinn and Patricia shortly after their blowout Thanksgiving loss. It was a trying year for the Lions..’
Has there ever been a non-trying years for Lions’ fans?
1957 was pretty good.
‘91 was fun.
Wow he can now help ruin the Browns, but hey he did come from the “ Genius” Bill Belicheat school of cheating
I wonder if Quinn has a degree in meteorology… Prior to this, the standard joke was “only a weatherman can be wrong most of the time and still find work.”
That guy is so bad. If he hadn’t fired Jim Caldwell then the lions would probably be a halfway decent team but he HAD to bring in his patriots buddy Matt Patricia (who also doesn’t deserve an nfl job). He ruined the lions. There is no other way to put it.
genius. do the opposite.
I thought he did some good drafting with the Lions. Not much else, though.
