The Bills hired Danny Crossman as their special-teams coordinator on Monday.

Crossman spent the past three seasons as the Lions’ special-teams coordinator. Detroit announced earlier in the day that Crossman would not return for 2013.

From 2003-09, Crossman worked with the Panthers’ special-teams units, including five seasons as its coordinator.

Crossman joins new Bills head coach Doug Marrone. The two were teammates for the London Monarchs in the World Football League.
