The Detroit Lions can hire their new head coach at any time, but Dan Campbell wants to handle all the responsibilities left on his desk before leaving the New Orleans Saints. Because of NFL rules, he was only allowed to speak with suitors until the Saints’ season ended, at which point he can join a new team.
