A few weeks ago when it became apparent that the Lions were going to dismiss Jim Caldwell from his head coaching position, I began to make up my mind as to who I felt would be the Lions’ best hire. It was none of the seven candidates that have been, or will be interviewed.
I found myself drawn to Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard. To me, he seemed like the right way to go. A defensive-minded coach that has been working his way up the chain in the NFL and has done a great job in his seven years with the team.
