Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles continues making his way through the NFL as he interviews for head coaching vacancies.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Bowles will spend some time Friday interviewing with the Detroit Lions.
The #Lions will spend today interviewing #Bucs DC Todd Bowles, source said. Bowles has also spent time talking with the #Falcons.

The Atlanta Falcons interviewed Bowles as Rapoport mentions. However, several reports have Atlanta offering the head coaching job to Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
Bowles has also received interest from the Philadelphia Eagles, who have requested permission to interview him.
UPDATE:
The interview between Bowles and the Lions didn’t happen.
#Buccaneers DC Todd Bowles was slated to interview with the #Lions today for their head coaching job but the sides talked today and decided to cancel, sources say. Indications were he wasn't going to be their next head coach anyway so they punted on it.
