Last year, the Detroit Lions staff got to coach the Senior Bowl. The rules, at the time, allowed Lions coordinators and assistants to coach in elevated roles for the weekend, allowing those coaches to both get a good look at the NFL Draft prospects on hand and get a taste of increased responsibility.
The Senior Bowl changed its coaching policy this year. While the two of the worst teams will still represent the head coaches of each Senior Bowl roster (Bears’ offensive coordinator Luke Getsy will coach the American team, Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham will coach the National Team), the rest of the coaching staff will be represented by assistants from all over the league.
