The Lions have fired defensive backs coach and pass game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant following another disappointing performance by the team’s secondary against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Safeties coach Brian Duker will assume Pleasant’s responsibilities for the remainder of the season. Detroit coach Dan Campbell confirmed the moves Monday afternoon.
“We’re in a production-based business,” Campbell explained in his press conference Monday, “and after seven weeks, I felt like this change needed to be made.”
