The Detroit Lions' coaching search got some clarity Friday, including the possible emergence of a front-runner for the vacancy.
Multiple reports, including the NFL Network and Sports Illustrated, stated that New Orleans tight-ends coach Dan Campbell is the front-runner for the Detroit job.
The day started with the news that two interviews scheduled for Friday were canceled. Arthur Smith, the Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator, was expected to come to town for a second, in-person interview, but pulled out according to reports after the Atlanta Falcons offered him their head-coaching position. Also, the NFL Network reported Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Todd Bowles canceled his virtual interview with the Lions after determining he didn't have a realistic shot at the job.
