Mailbag: How concerning is Lions’ constant shuffling of defensive coaching staff?

The Detroit Lions announced coaching changes for the 2024 season, and it featured significant changes on the defensive side of the ball. Next year, the Lions will have a new defensive line coach, a new secondary coach, a new cornerbacks coach (if not left vacant), and a new defensive assistant.

While coaching turnover is not uncommon even for successful teams, the Lions have undergone a ton of overhaul on the defensive side ever since coach Dan Campbell landed in Detroit three years ago. Todd Wash, John Scott Jr., Mark DeLeone, Aubrey Pleasant, Brian Duker, and Dre Bly have all come and gone in a manner of three seasons.
