ALLEN PARK -- Lions general manager Bob Quinn last spoke to the public after the draft in early May. So much has happened since then that it can be hard to keep track of, but now he is going to answer for some of it at last.

Quinn will hold his season-ending press conference at 9:30 a.m. Friday morning. I will be on hand for MLive with Kyle Meinke on the mend, and I’ll have plenty of updates coming, so be sure to follow along on Twitter @NateAtkins_ and to check back here throughout the day.

It’ll be the usual opportunity for a general manager to address the season that was, but this one is especially critical for Quinn. His hand-picked coach, Matt Patricia, went 6-10 a year after Quinn said that 9-7 seasons weren’t acceptable any more. He made some negative headlines away from the games, too, from news of his 22-year-old indictment for sexual assault coming to light in May to showing up late to team meetings and functions in his first year as a head coach.

Quinn will have some positives to talk about as well, from a strong draft class to some signs of the culture change he wanted to see when he made the change at head coach. He will also have two midseason trades to talk about, plus several other critical roster decisions that played into this year’s final record.
