The Detroit Lions canceled their scheduled interview with Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles on Friday and appear to have a front runner for the job.
A league source told the Free Press that New Orleans Saints assistant head coach Dan Campbell has emerged as a finalist to replace Matt Patricia as head coach, with NFL Network calling him "the favorite" to be hired.
The Lions currently are in a holding pattern when it comes to scheduling second interviews, but plan to meet with at least one candidate in person before formalizing a deal.
