UPDATE:
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported on Sunday something that we already pretty much knew. That news is that the Detroit Lions will hire New Orleans Saints assistant head coach/TE coach Dan Campbell to be their next head coach as soon as the Saints are eliminated from the playoffs.
Rapoport said the Lions made the decision “was made late this week.”
