Initially, it looked like the Detroit Lions were going to have their full coaching staff in place by the time they flew down to Alabama for this week’s Senior Bowl. However, that has turned out to not be the case, as the Lions have yet to officially designate a new tight ends, linebackers and defensive backs coach.
Detroit is currently coaching the North squad at the Senior Bowl, so many wondered if this was a big misstep by the Lions coaching staff. After all, assuming the Lions hire a few new faces before the 2020 season, it would obviously be more beneficial—no matter how small—to have them there in Mobile.
