Jim Caldwell has said that whoever becomes the Detroit Lions' new head coach will be coming into an "unusual situation".
The Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator was interviewed for the vacancy, left by Jim Schwartz's dismissal earlier this week, on Friday.
The 58-year-old told the team's official website: "This is an unusual situation because of the fact that you don't typically walk into a place that has a talented quarterback, one of the best receivers in all the game and just a fine nucleus.
"Then a defense that has an extremely talented front four. I saw them up close and personal."
Caldwell won the Super Bowl as quarterbacks coach with the Indianapolis Colts in the 2006 season, before picking up a second championship with the Ravens last year.
