Word is that it is a “total wipeout” with “bosses going through the building and deciding who stay and who goes” [according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.](https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/662319232680656897?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=dailydetroit.com)

Martha Ford, Lions Owner and Chairman of the Board, held a presser at 2 p.m. today where she confirmed these reports and that head coach Jim Caldwell still has his job.

“We are very disappointed with the results of the season so far, and believed a change was necessary,” said Lions owner Martha Firestone Ford.

The Lions are beginning a national search to manage our team going forward. Sheldon White has been named interim General Manager.

“Our fans deserve a winning football team, and we will do everything possible to make that a reality,” said Ford.
