Positive Reactions on Social Media to Lions Losing Their First Coach for the 2024 Offseason.
The Detroit Lions have experienced their initial coaching staff departure, as defensive backs coach Brian Duker is set to join the Miami Dolphins coaching staff for the 2024 season, according to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero on February 10.
Pelissero’s tweet stated, “The Dolphins are hiring Brian Duker as their secondary coach/pass game coordinator per source. Duker spent the past three seasons with the Lions, most recently as DBs coach.”
While the news broke, reactions from Lions fans on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), did not seem overly concerned about Duker’s departure. Some expressed the opinion that Duker’s exit would not be a significant loss for Detroit.
Lucas Thomas commented, “Hiring off the Lions secondary is crazy,” conveying a sense of disbelief at the idea.
Another user, Spliff, responded with a laughing gif, suggesting a lighthearted or dismissive attitude towards the Dolphins hiring Duker.
Brian Duker brings eight years of NFL coaching experience to his new role. He initially joined the Lions in 2021, during Dan Campbell’s inaugural season as head coach.
