How Michigan Football is similar to the Detroit Lions

When Michigan football started this offseason by purging a lot of the coaching staff in order to make a much-needed change, it reminded me of a local professional sports team who was going through a similar process: The Detroit Lions.

The Detroit Lions defense was terrible last season, the worst in the NFL in fact. They had a lot of issues, but a few of their worst issues was the lack of a pass rush, a lack of created turnovers, and an inability to get off the field in crucial situations.
