That report noted that McKenzie would likely become the Lions next linebackers coach as he was responsible for working with the linebackers in Tennessee.
According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Lions head coach Matt Patricia has confirmed that McKenzie has been hired but noted that his exact responsibilities are yet to be determined.
On new assistant Tyrone McKenzie, Lions coach Matt Patricia said today McKenzie is officially part of the staff but his exact responsibilities are TBD. Lions still could add/shuffle more assistants. McKenzie worked with ILBs at Tennessee, could have same role in Detroit
