    Mike Kafka Joins Detroit Lions Offensive Coaching Staff
    Jan 27 2026
    The Detroit Lions have significantly overhauled their coaching staff by appointing Mike Kafka to a prominent offensive leadership role for the 2026 season. Kafka previously served as the interim head coach for the New York Giants, where he gained recognition for keeping the team competitive during a difficult transitional period. Despite drawing interest for several vacant head coaching and coordinator positions across the league, he ultimately chose to join Detroit’s new-look staff. He will work alongside recently hired offensive coordinator Drew Petzing to revitalize a scoring unit that struggled under previous management. This strategic acquisition highlights the Lions' commitment to adding experienced veteran minds to their sideline following a period of offensive inconsistency. The report also notes broader NFL movements, including the Giants' decision to hire John Harbaugh and the Seahawks' recent advancement to the Super Bowl.

    Detroit Lions 2026 Offseason Blueprint
    Jan 21 2026
    Detroit Lions' strategic outlook heading into the 2026 offseason following a mediocre nine-win campaign. The primary objective is to reconstruct an offensive line that suffered significantly after losing key veteran leaders to retirement and free agency. Defensively, the team aims to support star Aidan Hutchinson by acquiring a consistent pass rusher and addressing depth in the secondary and linebacker corps. Analysts suggest the front office faces difficult roster decisions, including the potential departure of long-time tackle Taylor Decker and the uncertain future of Alex Anzalone. With limited financial flexibility due to a projected negative salary cap, the franchise must rely on the seventeenth overall draft pick to fill these critical gaps. Ultimately, the report provides a comprehensive blueprint for navigating a pivotal transition period to remain competitive in the league.
