Matthew Stafford says he hasn’t been consulted by upper management during the Detroit Lions’ interview process to hire a new head coach, and he doesn’t sound like he’ll offer his opinion unless he’s asked.
Stafford was generally noncommittal about the search process in an interview Wednesday evening on the Mitch Albom Show on WJR-760, the flagship station for the Lions’ broadcast network.
Jim Caldwell was fired on Jan. 1 after four seasons as head coach. The Lions have interviewed a number of candidates to replace Caldwell. Stafford was not asked specifically about any of them in his 15-minute appearance.
