Report: Detroit Lions expected to hire Dan Campbell as next head coach

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, current Saints assistant head coach/tight ends coach Dan Campbell will be the Detroit Lions’ head coach.

“Today, you are going to see the next head coach of the Detroit Lions on the Saints staff” Rapoport said on Sunday morning. “Dan Campbell, the assistant head coach and tight ends coach of the New Orleans Saints, is expected to be the next coach of the Lions—a decision they made late this week.”

Rapoport notes, obviously, that this can’t be official until the Saints are out of the playoffs.
