The Lions have been busy speaking to possible new head coaches since the season ended, and today they will have another interview, that being with Saints assistant head coach/tight ends coach Dan Campbell.
Campbell has been on the Lions list, but wasn’t able to speak to any team until the Saints completed their wild card round Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
The Saints assistant head coach was an interim head coach for 12 games back in 2015 for the Miami Dolphins after Joe Philbin was fired.
He went 5-7 in those 12 games. The following season he went to the Saints and has been a member of Sean Payton’s staff since then.
So Lions' HC interview schedule this week:
-Saints assistant HC Dan Campbell is interviewing this morning
-Titans OC Arthur Smith is interviewing Tuesday
-And Bucs DC Todd Bowles is interviewing this week (waiting confirmation on day)— Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) January 11, 2021
