Lions' List of Head Coach Candidates

by Sean Yuille on Jan 2, 2009 7:00 PM EST in Detroit Lions News

UPDATE: Click here for an updated version of this list.

In order to keep track of all the coaches the Lions have shown interest in, I have compiled a list of candidates and whether or not they have interviewed or will interview with Detroit. I have only listed coaches who have been linked to the Lions in reports by credible sources (i.e. Adam Schefter, local papers, team officials, the coaches themselves, etc.) and will continue to update this as new developments are reported. On that note, if you happen to find something about a coach possibly being linked to the Lions job and he isn't on the list below, leave a comment with a link to the report.

Coach	Team	Current Job	Interview
Todd Bowles	Dolphins	Assistant/Secondary Coach	Yes (January 7)
Leslie Frazier	Vikings	Defensive Coordinator	Yes (TBD)
Jason Garrett	Cowboys	Offensive Coordinator	No (Withdrew name)
Jerry Gray	Redskins	Secondary Coach	Yes (January 2)
Mike Heimerdinger	Titans	Offensive Coordinator	TBD
Josh McDaniels	Patriots	Offensive Coordinator	TBD
Mike Mularkey	Falcons	Offensive Coordinator	TBD
Rex Ryan	Ravens	Defensive Coordinator	TBD
Jim Schwartz	Titans	Defensive Coordinator	Yes (January 3)

Brian Billick

Just read this on Adam Schefter’s Around the League segment on NFL.com. It mentioned but didn’t detail that the Lions have expressed interest in Brian Billick. The article was mainly about Billick and the NY Jets but it did mention that the Lions have contacted him.
