The Detroit Lions coaching staff is starting to come together. According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Lions are expected to hired former Chargers defensive line coach Giff Smith.
Smith has been coaching defensive lines in the NFL since 2010. He first started with the Buffalo Bills from 2010 to 2012. When the Bills moved on from head coach Chan Gailey, Giff moved over to the Tennessee Titans for a couple years. After they moved on from Ken Whisenhunt, Giff again found another job, this time with the Chargers—a position he’s held for the past five seasons under two different head coaches.
