Remember Kelvin Sheppard?

[boyst]

The famous Kelvin Sheppard that brought us Jerry Hughes?

He's been named the DC for the Lions.

 

Proud for that guy to continue in his path to contribute to the game of football.

Great for Kelvin. Helped I think by the fact the Dline coach who was "next in line" had already been poached by Vrabel to be DC in New England. 

 

The Lions staff being plucked.

 

EDIT: Ben Johnson has nicked Antwaan Randle El as his receivers coach and JT Barret as his QB coach too. 

 

One presumes Mark Brunell will take the Detroit OC job.

Maybe someone calls Rick Dennison! 🤣

When you get to the top, it’s hard to start there in the NFL. I gotta imagine Dan Campbell is probably feeling a bit emptied by this. Disappointing divisional loss and it’s back to the drawing board for a lot of the schematics and play callers. 
 

I am picking them to have a tough year in 25

He is a fine example of the saying:

 

If you can't play, coach.😂

I just found this pic today that I painted. I used to paint players and get signatures for my son at camp. Fun days.

Didn’t he get arrested outside of Caputi’s on Sheridan with a trunk full of weed?

Never mind that was Nigel Bradham

I thought that was Nigel Bradham. But perhaps YE OLE’s memory is a little fuzzy.

Lions are so bound for 9-8 man. I can feel it.

He might feel bad about the season, but he doesn’t feel “empty” by his coordinators taking head coaching jobs. Why would he? 

[Royale with Cheese]

I met him at LA Fitness like 15 years ago.

Super cool dude.

[Saint Doug]

So, we traded a DC for a linebacker who’s no longer in the league? Comp picks?

The shelves have been raided. All the coaching staff had to be replaced. I didn’t mean him emotionally

That 2014 defense was awesome. Shame we didn’t do anything with it.

We are, but Shep also didn't have much of a career after he was traded for Jerry Hughes.  He transitioned from player to coach pretty quickly and he's only 37.

I remember what I was doing the time the Hughes trade was announced. Then flash forward the dude was like the longest tenured bill and I was talking about him being an all time bill…that wasnt even that recent. I answered my own question. Yes, we’re old 

[T master]

I sure hopes he coaches better than he played ...
