Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Al Golden is happy with his decision to jump to the NFL as the Lions? tight ends coach, but that doesn?t mean that the former University of Miami head coach is done with college football, as he tells Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. ?I think I have too much experience and just because I started young as a head coach, sometimes people look at it like, ?Well, he?s already been a head coach,?? Golden said. ?But I?m not 57. I?m 46, so I started young as a head coach and I?ve got a world of experience and I think this is just the next chapter for me so we?ll see where it goes. It?s too early to start thinking about that, but I know I?m skilled in that aspect of it. I?ve been a defensive coordinator, I?ve been a special teams coordinator, I?ve coached five or six different positions and now I?m coaching on the offense in the NFL?.

Cornerback Darius Slay?s contract situation puts the Lions in a familiar position, writes The Associated Press. For the third straight season, the Lions have a top defensive player entering a contract year, with Slay joining linebacker DeAndre Levy (2015) and tackle Ndamukong Suh (2014). Levy signed a four-year extension before last season, of course, and Suh played out his contract year and then departed in free agency. Slay hopes to follow Levy?s path and stay in Detroit for the long haul, the corner said earlier this week.
