As rumors swirl about potential coaching opportunities, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard is making one thing crystal clear — he’s not letting the noise distract him.
When asked about reports linking him to a possible coaching role at LSU, his alma mater, Sheppard didn’t hesitate to shut it down. “I haven’t heard from LSU,” he said, before quickly redirecting the conversation. “My focus is on beating the Vikings.”
That’s the kind of no-nonsense attitude Dan Campbell’s staff has built its reputation on. Sheppard has been instrumental in developing one of the league’s most aggressive and disciplined defenses, helping turn young players like Jack Campbell and Malcolm Rodriguez into impact contributors.
While LSU fans might dream of bringing Sheppard back to Baton Rouge, Detroit fans are more than happy to keep him right where he is — leading a defense that’s hungry, focused, and determined to make another statement in Week 9.
