Hall of Famer Singletary Contacted About Lions Job
San Francisco Assistant Says He's 'Absolutely' Ready to Be NFL Head Coach
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (Jan. 3) - The Detroit Lions have contacted Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary about their vacant coaching job.
Asked if he thought he was ready to be an NFL head coach, Singletary said, "Absolutely."
Singletary, an assistant with the San Francisco 49ers, said Tuesday night the Lions have spoken to him, but an interview has not yet been scheduled.
He also has been mentioned as a potential candidate for the Green Bay Packers' vacant coaching job, but Singletary said the Packers have not contacted him.
Singletary was considered a strong leader in 12 seasons with the Chicago Bears, but lacks some of the coaching experience of other candidates.
This is Singletary's first season as the assistant head coach/linebackers under 49ers coach Mike Nolan. Before that, he spent two years as the Baltimore Ravens' inside linebackers coach. Nolan was defensive coordinator in Baltimore at the time.
