Now that the Detroit Lions have filled their offensive coordinator position, attention turns to Detroit’s special teams coordinator job. Midseason, the Lions fired Joe Marciano after a series of games in which the Lions struggled to keep penalty flags off the field during special teams plays.

I’m hearing that three NFC North teams have reached out to John Bonamego to show interest in joining their staff: Packers, Vikings and Lions.
