The Detroit Lions will have another coaching position to fill this offseason. According to a report from the Detroit News’ Justin Rogers, inside linebackers coach Mark DeLeone has parted ways with the team. It is unclear if DeLeone was fired, resigned, or mutually departed from Detroit. However, his name was removed from the Lions’ official website several days ago.
DeLeone only spent a single season with the Lions after being snagged from the Chicago Bears’ coaching staff. Throughout his one season in Detroit, he helped the development of Detroit’s young linebacking corps after the Lions decided to move on from veteran Jamie Collins.
