Allen Park — After one of the worst seasons of his career, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will reportedly have a new position coach next season.

George Godsey, who coached the Lions quarterbacks last season, is taking a job in Miami to coach the Dolphins tight ends, according to an ESPN report. And the NFL Network is reporting he will be replaced by Texans quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan.

A 20-year coaching veteran, Ryan has spent the past 10 working in the NFL. He's been employed by the Giants and Texans, splitting his time between coaching wide receivers and quarterbacks.
