The Detroit Lions' coaching staff has undergone the biggest changes yet this offseason under fifth-year head coach Dan Campbell.
It’s been a long time coming, but Ben Johnson (Chicago Bears) and Aaron Glenn (New York Jets) are off to run their own franchises. Who they take with them is the next question, but what we do know right now is that Dan Campbell is tasked with replacing two of his closest confidants in the middle of a Super Bowl window.
Detroit might be on the hunt to replace its offensive and defensive coordinators, with Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn receiving head coaching buzz.
The Lions continue to lose high-level staffers after their offensive and defensive coordinators left the team for head coaching jobs.
It’s early yet. Dennis Allen barely has his new office settled at Halas Hall. So it’s difficult for the 52-year-old coach to deliver a concrete vision of what his Chicago Bears defense might look like in 2025.
Lions LBs coach Kelvin Sheppard is a top candidate to be defensive coordinator, either in Detroit or under Aaron Glenn with the Jets.
Aaron Glenn coached the Detroit Lions defense from 2021-24 before being hired as the next New York Jets head coach. Is he the next Dan Campbell?
The Jets introduced former Detroit Lions coordinator Aaron Glenn as their next head coach Monday. The Lions hired Kelvin Sheppard as their next DC.
The Detroit Lions have agreed to hire Denver Broncos assistant John Morton as offensive coordinator and promote Kelvin Sheppard to defensive coordinator, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Morton was Detroit’s senior offensive assistant in 2022 under head coach Dan Campbell before heading to Denver to be the club’s passing game coordinator for the last two seasons. He previously worked with Campbell in New Orleans in 2016 when Campbell was the team’s tight ends coach and Morton was the receivers coach.
New Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen wants to bring an “aggressive, attacking” scheme to Chicago as he oversees a unit that was inconsistent in 2024.
