The Detroit Lions' next general manager and head coach almost certainly will come from the known pool of candidates who already have been interviewed or are lined up to interview this week and next.
Additionally, the team is comfortable waiting until after the Super Bowl to make one of those hires, if necessary, according to team president and CEO Rod Wood.
Wood met virtually with local media Tuesday morning to wrap the team's 2020 season and speak broadly about the franchise's ongoing search for new football leadership.
So far, the Lions have interviewed seven candidates for the general manager vacancy, with four others reportedly on the docket the next two weeks.
