On Wednesday night, news broke that the Detroit Lions will be adding Tennessee Titans assistant head coach/defensive line coach Terrell Williams to their own coaching staff. Per Dianna Russini, Williams’ role will be Detroit’s defensive run game coordinator and defensive line coach. It’s unclear what this means for current Lions defensive line coach John Scott Jr.
The overall reaction to Williams’ hiring is overwhelmingly positive. At the very least, it appears the Lions have a coach who could develop into their defensive coordinator, should they lose Aaron Glenn. Williams has a resume filled with leadership opportunities.
