Report: Dan Campbell is the favorite to be Lions next coach

The Lions are back on the coaching search.

Per Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL.com, Detroit has focused on Saints assistant coach/tight ends coach Dan Campbell.

However, no interview has been done yet and won’t be done until the Saints’ season has ended.

Campbell, 44, played in the NFL from 1999-2009 for the Giants, Cowboys and Lions.

He’s been with the Saints since 2015. Prior to that, he was with the Dolphins from 2010-15.

He served as the interim head coach for the Dolphins for 12 games in 2015. that team went 5-7.

The Lions have been a complete dumpster fire lately. After finishing 9-7 in 2016 and 2017, the Lions were a combined 14-33-1 over the last three years under Matt Patricia.
