The Lions’ plans to restock their coaching staff could involve a pair of additions from the Buccaneers.
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.
Working for the Lions would represent a homecoming for Foote. He attended high school in Detroit before going to Michigan and embarking on a 13-year career as a NFL linebacker. Foote spent most of that time with the Steelers and won two Super Bowls, but also played one season for the Lions.
Foote went into coaching with the Cardinals in 2015 and he has been on Tampa’s staff since the 2019 season.
The Detroit Lions are set to interview Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker coach Larry Foote for their vacant defensive coordinator position. Foote, who has been with the Buccaneers since 2019, has helped lead one of the top defenses in the league over the past few seasons.
The Lions are looking to revamp their defense after a disappointing season, and Foote could be the perfect fit to help turn things around. Known for his knowledge of the game and ability to develop young talent, Foote could bring a fresh perspective to the Lions’ defense.
Stay tuned for updates on the Lions’ coaching search and whether Foote will be the one to lead their defense in the upcoming season.
