Iowa State makes Lions victim to college hiring cycle before a single postseason snap

The 2025 season isn't done, and the Detroit Lions' coaching staff is already being poached.

According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Tight Ends coach Tyler Roehl will be leaving the Lions at the conclusion of the season to join Jimmy Rogers' coaching staff at Iowa State, where he will serve as the school's new offensive coordinator.

Iowa State has yet to make a formal announcement on the hire.

Roehl is already familiar with Iowa State, as he served as assistant head coach and running backs coach in 2024 before joining the Lions this season.
