The Detroit Lions are hiring a new running backs coach. According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, current Texas running backs coach Tashard Choice is expected to join the Lions’ coaching staff. At this point, there is no clarity on what that means for the Lions’ current assistant head coach/running backs coach Scottie Montgomery.
UPDATE: Per Justin Rogers, Montgomery is becoming the team’s wide receivers coach, replacing the departed Antwaan Randle-El. Montgomery—a college receiver himself—was previously the Steelers’ wide receivers coach in 2010-12 and also coached the position at Duke in 2013.
