What happened: The June 17 announcement grouped the move with changes across player personnel and football operations. Scouting, administration and team operations roles were among those affected.

Why it matters: The chief operating officer post places Disner within Detroit's top management tier. The broader reshuffle adjusted the support structure around roster building and club operations.

By the numbers: Detroit listed eight staff updates: four in player personnel and four in football operations.

What to watch: Watch for any additional executive changes before the 2026 regular season.
