General manager Bob Quinn addressed the media on Monday, talking about why the Lions are making a coaching change and what he's looking for in the next hire.
Allen Park — After interviewing the internal candidates on Tuesday, the Detroit Lions are meeting with their first external option for the team’s head coaching vacancy Wednesday, hosting Houston Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel.
And even though it’s been a decade since they’ve worked together, Lions general manager Bob Quinn knows Vrabel well. While Quinn served in various scouting roles for the New England Patriots from 2001-08, Vrabel was playing a key role on defense, special teams and as a situational tight end for the franchise that won three Super Bowls during the stretch.
