PrintBelow is the latest version of the Lions' list of head coach candidates. There aren't any additions since the last version of this post, but I have updated the interview dates and have made a couple formatting changes. The first change is that I crossed out Josh McDaniels since he has been hired by the Broncos. The other change is that I bolded the coaches that I believe are the leading candidates for the job. All have interviewed with the Lions and are reportedly drawing high interest from the team.
As usual, I will keep this updated with the latest news about the Lions' search for a new head coach.

frazier, schwartz, or spags
i’d be happy with any of these 3…
schwartz
frazier
spags
that order.
Agree
I like Schwartz and what he is saying. If he can build half of a team he had in Tennessee then we would be a hell of a lot better than we are right now. He sounds like a pretty smart guy. I think he’ll land the job – as early as Wednesday.
I wish you guys would speed things up
We’re waiting in New Orleans to find out where Gregg Williams is going, and that’s all apparently dependent on where Jim Schwartz is going. The tension is killing us. Go into the hurry-up offense, please!
(And don’t pick Schwartz.)
Who is that person talking about beating those Saints?
