Detroit Lions' upcoming GM, head coach interview schedule revealed

Detroit Free Press

The Detroit Lions have a full plate of interviews scheduled for this week, including with the top offensive and defensive assistant coaches on the market.

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is interviewing for the Lions head coaching job Monday, Sports Illustrated reported, the first of at least nine coach and GM candidates the team will sit down with over the next seven or so days.

Bieniemy, a former NFL running back, is in his third season as Chiefs offensive coordinator. He does not call plays in Kansas City, but has helped oversee the rise of the NFL's best offense and the development of MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Two Lions who played in Kansas City said last week they see Bieniemy excelling as a head coach.

San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh (left) and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy each has Super Bowl experience and is a candidate for the Detroit Lions head coaching job.
"He’s one of the realest dudes, straight-forward dudes you’re ever going to meet,” linebacker Reggie Ragland said. “So he’s a hell of a coach. I can’t say nothing bad about him and I won’t because he’s a great dude and an excellent coach and an excellent person at the end of the day, too. He loved his players, so I respect him a lot.”

San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator and Dearborn native Robert Saleh will interview with the Lions on Thursday, a person familiar with his schedule told the Free Press.

Saleh, like Bieniemy, is considered a likely candidate to land a head coaching job this offseason. He was considered runner-up for the Cleveland Browns job last year, when he helped the 49ers reach the Super Bowl. This year, the 49ers finished in the top 10 in rushing, passing and total defense despite significant injury problems.

The Atlanta Falcons also are expected to interview both Bieniemy and Saleh, and the New York Jets reportedly requested an interview with Bieniemy.

Along with the Lions, Falcons and Jets, the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers also have openings at head coach, and the Lions, Falcons, Texans, Jaguars, Carolina Panthers and Washington are looking for GMs.

San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh on Sept. 13, 2020, talks to players on the sideline in Santa Clara, Calif.
"I will be very surprised if we don’t lose (Saleh)," 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Sunday. "I don’t know what’s wrong with people if they don’t hire him. He’s as good as you can get, knows more about football, all three phases, and he’s going to hire the best staff, he knows about players, he knows what they’re talking about, who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. He also knows how to deal with people. I hope everyone’s not very smart and doesn’t hire him so I can keep him, but I’m expecting not to have him."

Interim Lions coach Darrell Bevell also is expected to interview for the full-time job this week, with Sports Illustrated reporting that he will officially interview Tuesday.

The Lions went 1-4 under Bevell after Matt Patricia was fired in late November, but Bevell impressed people in the organization with his leadership ability.

"I was extremely proud of the way he stepped into that situation," Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "It’s a tough one. It’s a tough year to be a coach in the NFL with all the extra COVID stuff going on, all the regulations and all that. I thought he did an outstanding job. He’s a heck of a person, and I think everybody got to realize that. I’m sure you guys did, getting your chances to talk to him a little bit more. He’s a great person and a great coach and I was just really happy that he got the opportunity and I think everybody in our locker room really rallied around him, which was awesome and obviously want to win more football games than we did, but I thought he stepped in and did a great job."

Both the Titans and Saints have playoff games this weekend, while the 49ers have been eliminated and the Chiefs are on bye.

Previously, the Lions talked to ex-Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis about their head coaching position.

On the GM side, the Lions have interviewed seven candidates already: in-house candidates Kyle O'Brien, Lance Newmark and Rob Lohman, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick, and ex-NFL GMs Thomas Dimitroff, Rick Smith and Scott Pioli.

This week, they plan to interview Saints assistant general managers Terry Fontenot and Jeff Ireland, director of college scouting Brad Holmes and Minnesota Vikings assistant GM George Paton, who works with new Lions executive Chris Spielman's brother, Vikings GM Rick Spielman.

Here is the Lions' full interview schedule, according to Sports Illustrated:

Monday: Bieniemy

Tuesday: Bevell, Fontenot

Wednesday: Holmes, Paton

Thursday: Saleh

Friday: Ireland

Next week: Smith, Campbell

It wasn't good enough for the Lions to employ a head coach who behaves like a total sleezeball and loses lots of games. They also needed their guy to TALK like a total sleezeball and lose lots of games.

htismaqe and I have linked to nearly a dozen police reports and articles detailing his behavior, from sexual harassments to multiple DUI's and cheating, but you just continue to ignore them because you're moron with an IQ of less than 60.

I'd be surprised if you can even feed yourself, so I'm guessing your parents do that for you.

At least when they are ready to move on, they will have their pick of reasons for why they felt they had to let their guy go...

I can hardly wait for a post-game press conference where he's upset. There's no telling what will come out of his mouth. I'm guessing that it will involve using toilet paper on a lion that just ate your knees.

You must enjoy making a fool out of yourself because it happens with nearly every post you make.

Bieniemy was convicted for multiple DUI's, assault and sexual harrassment. He was fired at ULCA for not only getting a DUI in Westwood but for bribing recruits with alcohol and prostitutes.

The NBA is averaging 4.7 million viewers per playoff game this year, while the Chiefs-Bills playoff game pulled in 44.7 million viewers. More than 35 million tune in each and every Sunday to watch the NFL on CBS, NBC and Fox and many weekends, those numbers exceed 50 million viewers.

The NBA is a joke in terms of coverage and viewership when compared to the NFL.

Fucking David Culley, who's never been more than an assistant coach - you know, the same guy that was the Chiefs WR's coach in 2014 when not a single touchdown was caught by a Chiefs receiver - was hired over Bieniemy, even at the insistence of Deshaun Watson.

That says it all, King Dipshit.

What? He made plea agreements, you fucking Mongoloid.

I mean, what in the fuck is wrong with you? You go absolutely berserk any time people don't drop to their knees and suck Bieniemy's cock.

LIES!!..this idiot is so desperate to smear EB that he's totally LOST the plot.

1. EB has never been "convicted" for any sexual assault you LIAR!!..his collage STUDENTS had allegations of sexual assault!...NOT HIM DUMMY!!...also once again where are the police records of those "multiple convictions"?? And can you PROVE he left that collage because he "bribed" recruits? Oops I forgot your stupid ass only has INTERNET RUMOURS as evidence!!..pardon me :-)

The only thing EB did wrong was the dui he had AROUND 20 YEARS AGO!!!..he has never had a single issue whilst in the NFL as a coach but this bigot wants to condemn him for life and spread vicious rumours that he cannot prove!!!..SHOW ME THE POLICE RECORDS OR SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!..COWARD.
