Former NFL head coach and Indianapolis Colts senior defensive assistant coach John Fox is joining the staff with the Detroit Lions in a similar role.
Fox, who will hold the role of senior defensive consultant in Detroit, joined the Colts coaching staff under former head coach Frank Reich during the 2022 offseason.
Former Carolina, Chicago and Denver head coach John Fox appears headed to the Lions as a senior defensive consultant, per league source. Fox had a similar role with the Colts this past season.

With Reich now the head coach of the Carolina Panthers and the Colts ushering in a new era with Shane Steichen taking the helm, Fox will join the Lions staff as a consultant.
He will be joining former Colts running backs coach Scottie Montgomery, who was hired as the replacement for Duce Staley this offseason after the latter joined Reich’s staff in Carolina.
The Colts are still putting together their staff under Steichen—or at least they haven’t announced the full staff as of this writing. We’ve been keeping up with the latest coaching hires and news via our tracker.
