Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Larry Foote is a candidate for the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator vacancy, according to a report

The Detroit Lions are wasting no time getting to work filling the coaching holes that have just been left by Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, and Terrell Williams. They just hired Kacy Rodgers to be their new defensive line coach and now we have the first announced interview for the DC spot.

For second straight year, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes was named NFL Executive of the Year. Ben Johnson named NFL assistant of the year.

The Detroit Lions are officially in the offseason mode after their deflating loss against the Washington Commanders in the divisional round of the playoffs. It is a much earlier exit than Lions fans were hoping for but the team can't waste any time before starting their plans for the 2025 season and beyond.

Fresh off helping this Detroit Lions team earn a franchise-record 15 wins, only to watch it lose in its first playoff game, Lions GM Brad Holmes was on hand to recap the year that was. There was a bittersweet tone to it.

Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports that the Lions will interview Bucs inside linebackers coach and pass game coordinator Larry Foote for their defensive coordinator vacancy. They are also expected to hire Tampa’s defensive line coach and run game coordinator Kacy Rodgers as their defensive line coach.

Everything has escalated quickly for the Bucs and their coaching staff and front office in recent days. Offensive coordinator Liam Coen is back but assistant general manger John Spytek is on the move to Las Vegas to be the general manager of the Raiders while defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers is going to be the defensive line coach for the Lions.
