The firings come after the Lions started the 2015 season with a dismal 1-7 record. Prior to their game in London, the Lions made several changes to their offensive coaching staff. It seems as if these are not the only firings that will be taking place today or in the coming days according to a source with the Lions.
#Lions source on the firings today: “Total wipeout.” Apparently, bosses are going through the building deciding who stays and goes.
