The Detroit Lions hired former NFL quarterback Mark Brunell and running back Duce Staley to the coaching staff.
Detroit is looking to part ways with quarterback Matthew Stafford, a 2014 NFL Pro Bowler who has spent all 12 of his seasons with the Lions. Stafford and the Lions mutually agreed to part ways earlier in January.
Brunell will coach the team's quarterbacks and will coach the team's next signal-caller. This marks Brunell's first NFL job since spending 19 years in the league as a quarterback.
Brunell spent nine seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and also spent time with the Washington Football Team (2004-07), New Orleans Saints (2008-09) and New York Jets (2010-11).
