Quote:
Team president Rod Wood said Holmes was involved in the later stages of the coaching search, though, reaching out to a handful of finalists. Wood noted that Holmes made those calls, did his research and came to the same conclusion as the team’s brass: “Dan Campbell should be the next head coach of the Detroit Lions.”
“We did have Brad involved kind of behind the scenes in this, so his voice was listened to, and I would say it was impactful when he came to the same conclusion that we did that Dan should be our head coach,” Wood said. “It may have been an odd process, but I think it resulted in an outstanding result.”

It doesn’t sound like Holmes was allowed to do his own HC search. He was just asked his opinion and he chose Campbell.
