New Orleans Saints tight ends coach and assistant head coach Dan Campbell is reportedly in the driver's seat when it comes to landing the Detroit Lions' head coaching job.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Campbell is the favorite to be the Lions' new head coach, although he can't interview in person until the Saints' season ends, meaning the sides are in a holding pattern currently.
It is possible the Saints' season could come to an end Sunday night when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs.
