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.
