It feels like we’re getting close to the Detroit Lions hiring their next head coach. On Tuesday, team president Rod Wood told reporters that he assumes one of the candidates that they’ve either interviewed already or schedule and interview with will be the team’s next head coach.
So that has drastically shifted our Week 6 Lions head coach candidate power rankings. As of now, there are only six candidates who we know have interviewed or will interview with the team. That doesn’t mean there aren’t more candidates we don’t know about—in fact, there almost certainly will be.
