Lions hold off on staffing changes during NFL's 'Black Monday'

Allen Park — Relative to recent years, this version of the NFL's Black Monday was quiet.

In some ways, it was semantics, but on the day named after a traditional flurry of firings immediately following the end of the regular season, only one coach officially got the ax on Monday when the New York Giants dismissed Dearborn Heights native Pat Shurmur after two seasons.

Other jobs were lost earlier.
