Undlin, 54, began his coaching career as the linebackers coach at California Lutheran. He took his first NFL coaching job in 2004 a defensive coaching assistant for the Patriots.
From there, Undlin worked for the Browns, Jaguars and Broncos before the Eagles hired him as their DBs coach in 2015. The Lions hired him as their defensive coordinator for the 2020 season, but he was let go after one year and spent two years in San Francisco as a pass game specialist/secondary coach.
Houston hired Undlin in 2023 as their defensive pass game coordinator and he’s remained in that role since.
In 2020, the Lions defense ranked No. 32 in yards allowed, No. 32 in points allowed, No. 28 in rushing yards and No. 30 in passing yards.
