Detroit Lions head coaches since their last title in 1957

George Wilson (1957-64): Wilson guided the Lions to their last championship with an 8-4 record, winning Associated Press Coach of the Year honors in the process. In eight seasons in Detroit, Wilson went 53-45-6. He resigned after the 1964 season.

Harry Gilmer (1965-66): Gilmer was just 10-16-2 in two seasons as Lions head coach -- his only head coaching gig in the NFL -- before he was fired. Gilmer found more success as a player: He had a Hall of Fame career as a halfback at Alabama, was drafted No. 1 overall in 1948 and made two Pro Bowls with Washington.

Joe Schmidt (1967-72): A Hall of Famer as a player over 13 seasons with the Lions, Schmidt led the franchise to a playoff appearance in 1970 as a coach. He went 43-34-7 in six seasons before he resigned.

Don McCafferty (1973): McCafferty went 6-7-1 in his only season as the Lions head coach. He died following a heart attack in the summer of 1974.

Rick Forzano (1974-76): Forzano turned an interim head-coaching opportunity into a full-time job, though it was short-lived. Forzano was 15-17 in two-plus seasons before he was forced out four games into the 1976 season.

Tommy Hudspeth (1976-77): Hudspeth replaced Rick Forzano three games into the 1976 season, but only lasted one full season after that. He was 11-13 in his only NFL head-coaching stop, let go after the 1977 season.

Monte Clark (1978-84): Clark was just 43-61-1 in Detroit, but he did guide the Lions to back-to-back playoff appearances in 1982 and 1983. He was fired after going 4-11-1 in 1984.

Darryl Rogers (1985-88): Rogers was a veteran college head football coach, including four seasons at Michigan State from 1976-79. His only NFL head-coaching job didn't survive a fourth season, fired during the 1988 campaign with an 18-40 record.

Wayne Fontes (1988-96): Perhaps the Lions' most successful coach since George Wilson, Fontes owns the Lions' only playoff victory since Wilson's tenure when he led the Lions to the NFC Championship game in 1991. Though his overall record didn't reach .500 (66-67), Fontes led Detroit to four playoff appearances and two division titles in his eight full seasons. He was fired after a 5-11 season in 1996.

Bobby Ross (1997-2000): Ross arrived in Detroit after a stint with the San Diego Chargers that included a Super Bowl appearance. He found no such success in Detroit, however. His three-plus seasons included two playoff appearance (no victories) and included the sudden retirement of future Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders. Ross resigned during the 2000 season.

Gary Moeller (2000): Moeller's head-coaching stay in Detroit lasted just seven games (4-3) after he replaced Bobby Ross.

Marty Mornhinweg (2001-02): Mornhinweg had a disastrous short-lived stay in Detroit, winning just five of 32 games before he was fired. Though he hasn't had a head-coaching job since, Mornhinweg has remained in the NFL, serving on staffs for the Jets, Ravens and Eagles, where he currently is a senior offensive consultant.

Steve Mariucci (2003-05): Mariucci was a big winner as the San Francisco 49ers head coach from 1997-2002, going 57-39 and reaching the playoffs in four of six seasons. He arrived in Detroit as a native son, having grown up in Iron Mountain. Success did not follow him, however, as he went 15-28, fired during the 2005 season.

Dick Jauron (2005): Jauron, who was a Pro Bowler as a player for the Lions, served as interim coach in 2005, following the firing of Steve Mariucci. He was 1-4 in five games. He was the Bills' head coach from 2006-09.

Rod Marinelli (2006-08): Marinelli's tenure in Detroit included an 0-16 showing in 2008 -- the first winless season since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule -- earning his ouster. Marinelli is currently the Las Vegas Raiders defensive line coach.

Jim Schwartz (2009-13): Schwartz went 29-51 in five seasons, including one playoff appearance in 2011. He has been the Eagles defensive coordinator since 2016.

Jim Caldwell (2014-17): Caldwell owns a 36-28 record in four seasons in Detroit, including a pair of playoff appearances. He was fired following the 2017 season, despite coming off a 9-7 season. He's the only permanent Lions head coach with a winning record since Joe Schmidt (1967-72)
