Lions Coaching Staff Tracker
Below is a table of the Lions coaching staff (main positions only listed; others will be added when hirings are reported). I bolded the coaches that have been confirmed by the Lions and italicized the coaches that were on Rod Marinelli's staff and retained by Jim Schwartz. Right now, all of the other names (and Linehan as the QBs Coach) only have been reported and the Lions have said nothing about them. As time goes by and hirings are confirmed, I will update the below table.
| Job | Coach |
| Head Coach | Jim Schwartz |
| Offensive Coordinator | Scott Linehan |
| Defensive Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach | Gunther Cunningham |
| Quarterbacks Coach | Scott Linehan |
| Running Backs Coach | Sam Gash |
| Wide Receivers Coach | Shawn Jefferson |
| Tight Ends Coach | |
| Offensive Line Coach | George Yarno |
| Defensive Line Coach | |
| Linebackers Coach | Matt Burke |
| Secondary Coach | Bob Slowik (?) |
| Special Teams Coordinator |
(The reason I put a question mark next to Slowik's name is because there have been conflicting reports about whether or not the Lions will hire him.)
