4 Lions assistant coaches "let go"

[blujaysrock]

Same here. SJ was hilarious in those top 10 Calvin plays of 2011 videos. To let the WR coach go after your WR broke Jerry Rice's record is ultra bizarro.

I've seen on twitter by some beat reporters than Jefferson wanted a promotion and may want to coach at college level. Lions wouldn't offer him that, so that's why he didn't receive a new contract.

I fine with who we have despite the disappointing season...wouldnt mind seeing Linehan go but I'm not opposed to seeing how our coaches bounce back

You know why I hate our organization. We drafted Titus who was a headcase in Boise. Did they ever have a face to face conversation with Titus telling him he needs to not be a childish player. Tell him for him to be great he needs to play for the team. Did they ever think of the WR's on the Lions like Megatron and Burelson talking to him 1 on 1 and trying to straighten him up. Probably not.

This season was a set back but up until this year this staff has continued to improve this team so im not going to over react to a bad season especially since we gave them all contract extensions before the season

Absolute lack of accountability. In addition to far too much credit given to front office and coaching staff for the glimmer of success we did see last year. With the core talent on this roster, any decent GM should be able to surround it with more pieces to contribute. Any decent coaching staff should be able to work with them and be quasi-successful.

The way ownership sits on their hands and is just content with the status quo is bizarre. The contract extensions is a spectacular example of how they just jump at the first sign of hope - and it comes back to bite them.

Is there any other team in the NFL who had LESS of an impact from the 2012 Draft Class than the Lions?? Because let's face it - the entire draft might as well had not even happened. Reiff at tight end, and the 4 games we got out of Broyles is nothing. Bentley was around for a blink of an eye, and I'm pretty sure he got a season's worth of pass interference calls in that time frame.

Overreact to a bad season??? This was more than a bad season. This team has been a joke for as long as anyone can remember. Last year, all those early first rounders started to pay off and we eked into the playoffs. One year later and we are a joke once again. Its not just a bad season, its ANOTHER bad season. A team with Stafford, Calvin, Suh & Fairley won 4 games. 4. Once again, an ultra ****** season. We were supposed to be past all those embarrassing years.

One step forward, 2 steps back. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Im amazed that anyone can be okay with that.

I knew our ST improved, but damn didn't know they were this good. I guess this is why Crossman was not fired.

But coordinator Danny Crossman fixed his coverage units after the bye week to the point that the Lions shut down some good returners (Devin Hester and Leon Washington) and gave up just one punt return over 15 yards and two kick returns over 30 yards the final 12 games.

According to #NFL sources #Lions special teams coach Danny Crossman will not be with team next season.

We also signed a new TE coach and Lappano moved to RB coach (from TE)

IDK about the TE coach.. Dont know anything about him.. But im glad crossmans gone..

[ahoda]

I can't believe it took this long to fire him. This move is about 15 weeks too late.

About 6 months late, but hey better late than never!

[whooligun]

Schwartz is gonna have a press conference to announce they plan on giving Reiff a few more plays against the Bears for the last game of the year.
