Detroit Lions coaches seem to be dropping like flies now. First, Teryl Austin left to pursue a defensive coordinator job with the Bengals. Then, it turned out Austin brought defensive line assistant Matt Raich with him, too. Now, defensive line coach Kris Kocurek is heading to Miami.
None of this is all that surprising. After all, when you bring in a new head coach, there is almost always a huge turnover among the entire staff. There’s likely more changes coming, but it’s not clear how much. All of that will become much clearer once Matt Patricia is officially hired.
