The Detroit Lions reportedly prefer to hire Matt Patricia as head coach with Mike Vrabel as their backup choice. Patricia is believed to prefer the New York Giants' job.

Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports that "all signs" point to the Giants hiring Patricia.

Patricia has been defensive coordinator of the New England Patriots since 2012.

Patricia has been a candidate for other head coaching jobs in recent years.

Steve Wilks of the Panthers is also a candidate.
