It appears as if the wait is just about over.
According to multiple reports, all signs are pointing towards the Detroit Lions hiring New Orleans Saints assistant head coach Dan Campbell to fill their head coach vacancy.
As noted, the Lions cannot hold an in-person interview for Campbell until the Saints are officially eliminated from the playoffs but it seems like it could just be a formality at this point.
Nation, how would you feel about this hire?
#Saints assistant head coach/TEs coach Dan Campbell has emerged as the favorite to be the new #Lions head coach, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. No in-person interview can be conducted until their season has ended, so it’s all on hold officially until then.

Signs are pointing towards the Lions hiring Saints AHC Dan Campbell. Over the last 48 hours, Campbell and Titans OC Arthur Smith emerged as co-favorites for the job. When Smith canceled his trip to Detroit, search got simplified.
No contract done (or anything like that) yet.
