The Detroit Lions continue to clear out the 2020 coaching staff. On Monday, the team fired first-year special teams coach Brayden Coombs.
The move is a surprising one. Coombs brought energy and competence to a Lions special teams unit that has needed both over the years. He was very popular with Detroit fans and seen by many as a rising coaching star.
His work with first-year punter Jack Fox drew acclaim, as did the Lions ability to block punts. They did have a poor fake punt in Sunday’s loss to the Titans.
No replacement for Coombs has been immediately announced.
