Lions hire head strength and conditioning coach

The Lions found a new man to head their strength and conditioning program.

General manager Bob Quinn has tapped former Patriots strength and conditioning coach Harold Nash to head up Detroit’s strength and conditioning staff.

Nash served as the Patriots' head of strength and conditioning from 2011-2015. He was an assistant under Mike Woicik (now with Dallas) from 2005-2010. Nash was let go by the Patriots earlier this week.

The Lions fired their strength and conditioning coaches shortly after Quinn took over.

“Just a change that Jim (Caldwell) and I talked about,” Quinn said down at the Senior Bowl this week when asked about the firing of Jason Arapoff and Ted Rath.
