There will be a change coming to the Detroit Lions coaching staff in the near future. Inside linebackers coach Mark DeLeone is no longer with the team, per Justin Rogers of the Detroit News.
DeLeone leaves after just one season in Detroit. It is unclear if he left the team by choice or if he was terminated. His name was scrubbed from the team’s website over the Super Bowl weekend, but the Lions have yet to formally announce any change.
Outside LBs coach Kelvin Sheppard is still with the team and could be a candidate to assume a larger role. Defensive quality control coach Stephen Thomas is a former collegiate LBs coach and jumped into the DeLeone role during the Senior Bowl, when the Lions were allowed to have coaches work at higher levels than previously done.
