Three years ago, one of the best head coaches in the NFL interviewed with the Detroit Lions looking for a job. He didn’t get it.
Sheila Ford Hamp may or may not think about that this Sunday when her Lions take on that coach — and his team — in Nashville, Tennessee. Yet she recently wrote an internal memo that suggests she doesn’t want the Lions to miss out on a coach like Mike Vrabel again.
In the memo last week, Ford Hamp laid out her vision for what she and her advisors seek as they try to hire a general manager and coach to replace Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia.
