The Lions have a lot of issues to address now that the trade deadline has passed. We’re going over whether Detroit should still be confident in its Super Bowl prospects, Kerby Joseph’s contract, injury comebacks, potential coaching changes, and the defensive recovery.
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard responds to a play involving the Miami Dolphins during the first half at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Week 10 is almost here for the Detroit Lions, and the trade deadline has passed. Lion supporters have a lot of questions, particularly in light of Detroit’s lack of action following the Andre Cisco trade. We’ll try our best to respond.
Is Hank Fraley interested in working as an offensive coordinator?
Over the last three weeks, the Detroit Lions’ defense has appeared completely different.
I’d bet he is. Already, many teams, including the Seahawks, have interviewed Lions offensive line coach Hank Fraley for that post. The Lions gave him a raise and a promotion to stay a few years ago. You can only maintain this for a short period of time.
Fraley is a member of Detroit’s coaching staff, which collaborates to develop plays. The teams are aware. I believe the Lions’ coaching personnel will be torn apart this winter. Interviews for head coaching positions may be granted to Drew Petzing. Mike Kafka might even have interviews for head coaching positions in addition to coordinator ones. Additionally, Bruce Gradkowski and Marques Tuiasosopo will be pursued by clubs. There’s no doubt about this crime.
An interview does not guarantee employment. I would anticipate Fraley to be considered for an offensive coordinator interview this offseason, though. We’ll wait and see where that leads.
