The Detroit Lions’ decision to fire special teams coordinator Brayden Coombs is a tough one to swallow. All year, we were raving how impressive Coombs was from a production and leadership standpoint. Now he’s gone with no chance of being retained under a new regime.
On the surface, I absolutely hate the move. After some digesting, while I may understand why Detroit made the move, I still think it was the wrong choice.
I’m not going to make this about the decision to go for it or not. While I do believe the Lions should’ve been aggressive in that moment, Coombs undoubtedly went about it the wrong way by trying to pull rank on Bevell.
