According to multiple reports, the Detroit Lions will hire New Orleans Saints assistant head coach/TE coach Dan Campbell to fill their head coach vacancy as soon as the Saints are eliminated from the NFL Playoffs.
With Campbell likely (nothing is final yet) coming in as head coach, the next question is, who will he bring in to be his coordinators.
As I have said, my favorite to land the job is current Saints' DBs coach, Aaron Glenn and it sounds like he may be on Campbell's short-list.
On Sunday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press tweeted out a few potential candidates to keep an eye on that he has heard could be the Lions' next defensive coordinator and Glenn, along with Saints DL coach Ryan Nielsen and ex-Cowboys DC Kris Richard made the list.
As you're watching Saints-Bucs today, a couple potential names to keep an eye on that I've heard could next Lions DC under Dan Campbell:

Nation, who do you think Campbell should hire to be his defensive coordinator if he is indeed the Lions next head coach?
