Eagles Hire Former Patriots Assistant Matt Patricia as Senior Defensive Assistant

The Philadelphia Eagles have hired former Detroit Lions head coach and longtime New England Patriots assistant Matt Patricia to be a senior defensive assistant.
Patricia had a tough stint as the Lions' head coach but had a far longer and successful stay in New England.
Patricia's hiring has earned mixed reviews, with some questioning his abilities and relationships with players.
Patricia will be a solid resource for new Eagles defensive coordinator Sean Desai and can offer guidance to new Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson.
Sirianni believes Patricia and Slay will have a good working relationship despite their fractured relationship in the past.
