The Lions raided the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their new defensive line coach, hiring Kacy Rodgers to replace Terrell Williams. Now the Lions are looking at another Buccaneers coach to perhaps take over as Detroit’s new defensive coordinator.
Per multiple sources, the Lions are interviewing Buccaneers co-defensive coordinator/ LBs coach Larry Foote as a possible replacement for Aaron Glenn to run the Detroit defense.

He’s been in coaching since he retired, first with the Arizona Cardinals and then the last six seasons in Tampa Bay. He’s been a co-coordinator with Rodgers for the last three years.
