With the official announcement of Antwaan Randle El joining the Detroit Lions coaching staff as their wide receivers coach, Dan Campbell's coaching staff is now in place. 

One of the primary reasons Campbell appealed to Detroit's front office was the belief that he could assemble a quality coaching staff. 

“Maybe the most impactful thing to me was when I talked to (Saints general manager) Mickey Loomis. I asked Mickey about that, and he said, ‘Dan is the kind of head coach that coaches are going to run to Detroit and want to be on his staff.’ He will attract people because they’ll want to work with him," team president Rod Wood said at Campbell's introductory press conference. 

Here is the updated Detroit Lions coaching staff: 

  • Head coach: Dan Campbell
