Since hiring Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell as the team's new general manager and head coach, respectively, the Detroit Lions have overhauled the coaching staff.
But the holdover front office personnel had largely remained untouched ahead of free-agency and the draft.
That changed at the end of this week when the franchise and Kyle O'Brien, vice president of player personnel, parted ways.
Brought in from Jacksonville in 2016, O'Brien served as the No. 2 in command behind former general manager Bob Quinn, overseeing both the college and pro scouting departments.
In Jacksonville, O'Brien worked as the team's college scouting director.
