The Detroit Lions have completed their third interview for the head coaching vacancy. A day after interviewing both Jim Bob Cooter and Teryl Austin for the job, the team announced that Houston Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel has finished his interview with Lions management.
Detroit Free Press beat writer Dave Birkett is reporting that Vrabel is considered one of two favorites for the job, along with Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.
Earlier in the day, Vrabel got a huge endorsement from the Houston Chronicle’s John McClain.
