The Detroit Lions have made another addition to their coaching staff. According to a report from Panthers beat writer David Newton, the Lions are hiring former Panthers head coach John Fox to be a “senior defensive consultant.”
Fox has been in the NFL coaching circles since 1989, where he began as a defensive backs coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has most notably had head coaching stints with the Panthers (2002-10), Broncos (2011-14) and Bears (2015-17). Over that time, he amassed a total record of 133-123 in the regular season, 8-7 in the playoffs.
