The Detroit Lions aren’t entirely out of the woods yet when it comes to losing members of their coaching staff.
According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the NFC North division rival Minnesota Vikings want to interview DB coach and passing game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant for their vacant defensive coordinator position:
The #Vikings put in a request to interview #Lions DBs coach/passing game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant for their defensive coordinator job, sources tell @wyche89 and me.
Pleasant worked with (soon-to-be) new Minnesota coach Kevin O’Connell last season in L.A.

Pleasant just completed his 9th season in the NFL and first with the Lions. The Vikings dismissed former DC Mike Zimmer last month.
