From 2021-25, the Lions ranked fifth in kickoff return average (26.0) and fourth in punt return average (11.2). The team also tied for the league lead in that span with three punt return touchdowns. The Buccaneers have not had a punt or kickoff return for a touchdown since 2010, the longest active drought in the NFL.
Detroit also ranked fifth in the league in gross punting average (48.3) from 2021-25, and 10th in punt return average against (8.5).
Yes, gimme.
This trickle of interview announcements feels desperate. If they are desperate, why only use half of your ass when turning over the coaches?
As someone who obviously doesn’t know enough about these guys – just happy to see interviews with people connected to successful units and who aren’t old af
Thought no one wanted to coordinate with Bowles or w/e
It can’t be worse.
I would love if we picked up someone that was part of a unit that has been successful
Let’s get him.
Let me know when someone’s actually hired.
This is an improvement over us interviewing and hiring the guy from a bottom-5 special teams unit that came here and continued to coach a bottom-5 special teams unit
The Buccaneers don’t always get a kickoff return, but when they do, they wait for it to be the longest length of time as compared to every other team in the NFL

I thought this was a typo about Monken.
This sounds like good news.
Bravo
