A long-time assistant coach with ties to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers is the new coach of the Detroit Lions.
Darrell Bevell, who worked in Green Bay for six seasons under Mike Sherman, will be the interim coach in Detroit after the Lions fired Matt Patricia on Saturday, according to Tim Twentyman of the team’s site.
Bevell, 50, was previously the Lions offensive coordinator, a job he held in Detroit for the last two seasons.
Prior to coming to Detroit, Bevell served as the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks for seven seasons, winning Super Bowl XLVIII.
