As the Detroit Lions continue to prepare their search for the team’s next general manager and head coach , some rumors have bubbled to the surface. While names are being thrown against the wall by some insiders, no information has the potential to be more important than the note dropped by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Per Rapoport, the Lions will not be using a search firm to help find their next head coach.
This is significant for multiple reasons. First, it runs in direct opposition to what it appeared team owner Sheila Ford Hamp was planning on doing, at least as of last week.
