The Detroit Lions are closing in on their offensive coordinator search. During his press conference on Thursday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell said he had probably interviewed four candidates on both sides of the ball, and the identity of one of them was revealed later in the day. According to MMQB’s Albert Breer, the Lions are interviewing Steelers wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard for the position.
You may remember Hilliard from his playing days. He was a first-round pick for the New York Giants and spent eight seasons there before closing his playing career with four years as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer.
