On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions announced several coaching changes via an announcement and changes to their official website.
They confirmed previously reported hires of Deshea Townsend, who will be the Lions’ DBs coach and pass game coordinator (not CBs coach, as previously reported). They also confirmed the hiring of Terrell Williams as the next run game coordinator/defensive line coach.
Beyond that, they also announced the hiring of Jim O’Neil as a defensive assistant. O’Neil’s coaching days reach all the way back to 2001, when he was an assistant offensive line coach/tight ends coach for Albany.
