The Big Picture: Detroit Lions add Super Bowl coach to defensive staff

The Detroit Lions have added a two-time Super Bowl coach to their defensive staff, which struggled last season. With John Fox’s expertise in coaching the 4-3 defense with quarters coverage, his addition is expected to bring much-needed experience and leadership to the team. Fox’s arrival will be especially beneficial for the Lions’ young defensive staff, which includes several coaches with limited NFL experience.

Why it matters

The addition of Fox to the Lions’ coaching staff is significant because of his wealth of experience and success as a head coach. Fox has taken two different teams (Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos) to the Super Bowl and has won six division titles throughout his career. His expertise in coaching the 4-3 defense with quarters coverage will be especially valuable to the Lions, who struggled defensively last season. Overall, Fox’s addition to the coaching staff is a positive step for the Lions as they work to improve their defense and compete in the NFC North.
