A report from @mzenitz indicates that the New England Patriots are targeting Lions' DL coach Terrell Williams to be their new DC. He worked closely with Patriots HC Mike Vrabel in Tennessee. Another change to the coaching staff could be on the horizon @DetroitPodcast
Last season, the Patriots staff had first-timers at head coach (Mayo), offensive play caller (Alex Van Pelt), defensive coordinator/play caller (Covington), and offensive line coach (Scott Peters).
