Two of the best players in Detroit Lions history will help the team find its next head coach and general manager
Chris Spielman, who made four Pro Bowls in eight seasons with the Lions, has left his broadcast position with Fox to become special assistant to Lions president Rod Wood and chairman Sheila Ford Hamp.
As part of his wide-ranging responsibilities, Spielman will sit in on all interviews for the Lions' ongoing search for a new head coach and general manager, and will circle back and spend time with the three internal candidates the team already interviewed.
