Quote:Lions hire Kyle O’Brien as director of player personnel

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - SEPTEMBER 16:

On the same day that the Lions decided to hold onto coach Jim Caldwell, they also made an addition to their front office.


The team announced Friday that they have hired Kyle O’Brien as their new director of player personnel. O’Brien was the director of college scouting for the Jaguars for the last three seasons.


O’Brien is the first major hire on the personnel front since the team appointed Bob Quinn as their new General Manager. At his introductory press conference this week, Quinn said he had some people in mind for personnel jobs and O’Brien’s history with Quinn likely made put him at the top of the list.


Quinn and O’Brien worked together with the Patriots from 2002-2011 when O’Brien was a scout and Quinn held a variety of positions in the front office. O’Brien spent one year with the Chiefs before moving on to Jacksonville.

I guess this is the move Caldwell was referring to.
"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."
