Behind the scenes, the Detroit Lions have been shuffling nearly their entire coaching staff on both sides of the ball. The defensive staff has been completely decimated, while Detroit will reportedly have a new quarterbacks and offensive line coach.
The one name that has escaped all of the rumors and reported firing is Lions offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. Most have expected Cooter to hang around next season, seeing as soon-to-be head coach Matt Patricia deals with the defensive side of the ball, but this week another player publicly announced their support for keeping Cooter around another year.
