Not including interim head coaches, the Lions have not had a former head coach hired for another head coach position since George Wilson, who coached the Lions from 1957-1964 and then the Dolphins from 1966-1969. Pretty impressive run. Coaches since George Wilson who never got another gig after the Lions, along with their record with the Lions (full-time head coaches only, not including interim)
