The Detroit Lions are now on the interim to their interim head coach, as Darrell Bevell will not be able to coach Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to COVID-19 protocols, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
Sources said the Lions will move wide receivers coach Robert Prince into the head-coaching role and turn playcalling duties over to quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan, who has never been a playcaller at any level in his career.
Prince, who has never been a head coach, has been an offensive coordinator at Fort Lewis College in 1994-95, in the Japanese X League in 1996-97, at Portland State in 1999-2000, at Colorado as the passing game coordinator in 2010 and at Boise State in 2012-13.
