Following Ben Johnson's departure, Dan Campbell has brought back a former assistant who is set to become the new offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, working closely with Jared Goff. The Detroit Lions didn’t close the 2024 season as they had hoped.

Coach Dan Campbell has been looking to fill both of his coordinator openings following the departures of Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn to the Chicago Bears and New York Jets, respectively, as their new head coaches. Detroit is set to promote linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard to defensive coordinator, a team source told The Athletic last week.

NFL teams must identify and collect as many microscopic edges as they can find, and the coaches of the Lions and Commanders provide one blueprint.
