Eagles CB Darius Slay reacts to the Lions firing GM Bob Quinn and HC Matt Patricia

Darius Slay wanted out of Detroit and a big reason for the star cornerback seeking a change of scenery centered around head coach Matt Patricia’s “disrespectful” approach and inability to let his players be themselves.

After his first month with the Eagles, Slay praised the “culture” in Philadelphia, and most importantly Doug Pederson’s willingness to allow his players to be themselves.

The star cornerback got the last laugh on Saturday after the Lions parted ways with GM Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia.

Slay reacted accordingly and didn’t hold back his feelings.

Slay has played well in his debut with the Eagles and he’ll need to make his presence felt even more if he wants to avoid seeing his current head coach and general manager deal with similar circumstances.
