In the latest edition of the worst kept secret in the NFL, the Detroit Lions will reportedly hire Dan Campbell as their next head coach this Wednesday. That news according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Having served as the assistant to the head coach and tight ends coach for the New Orleans Saints, Campbell and the Lions had to wait until after the Saints’ playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday to finalizing any sort of deal. And according to Rapoport, Cambell wishes to conduct exit interviews with his players in New Orleans prior to making the hiring official.
