Notes: 4 Lions make list of top NFL head coach candidates for 2023

In what is hopefully more of an analysis of talent over popularity from “Hard Knocks” appearances, four Detroit Lions coaches have made a list of top head coaching candidates in 2023.

Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr created a comprehensive list that includes 15 offensive coordinators, 16 defensive coordinators, two special teams coordinators, 16 offensive assistants, eight defensive assistants, eight college coaches, and one Josh McCown.

As a preface, he explains in detail how he think the head coach hiring system is faulty, but notes the list he’s created both recognizes coaches he knows will get interviews and coaches he thinks should get an interview.
