The transition of the Detroit Lions coaching staff appears to be continuing, even as the franchise must wait until after the Super Bowl to officially hire Matt Patricia as their new head coach.
The Detroit Free Press and Detroit News reported Tuesday that linebackers coach Bill Sheridan and safeties coach Alan Williams will not be retained by the new staff, essentially continuing the overhaul of the coaches on the defensive side of the ball.
Only cornerbacks coach Tony Oden, viewed as an up-and-coming coach around the league, remains as far as position coaches on that side.
