The Lions are reportedly hiring a new running backs coach who worked with Gibbs in college, and moving some staff pieces around.

A former Cowboys ballcarrier who was a candidate to become the running backs coach under the team's new regime now appears primed to take over the same role for an NFC powerhouse instead. And he'll reunite with one of the scariest runners in the game when he does.

Lions assistant head coach Scottie Montgomery also will coach WRs this season after working with RBs the past two years.
