The Detroit Lions are moving on from defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni after two years with an underachieving defense. After two years ranking near the bottom half of the league in almost every category it’s time to move on and try to find someone who can mesh with head coach Matt Patricia and form a defense that can improve on every level.
In the most recent year the Lions regressed in almost every defensive category. They were 31st in total defense in 2019, around the 20th best team in rushing defense, and among the bottom three teams in passing defense.
