Detroit Lions restructure coaching staff after playoff exit

The Detroit Lions are undergoing significant changes in their coaching staff after a disappointing playoff exit, losing both offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to head coaching roles with other teams. This has prompted head coach Dan Campbell to rebuild his staff, with the Lions reportedly considering Johnny Morton as their new offensive coordinator. The Lions also promoted linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard to fill the defensive coordinator position, a move that has garnered mixed reactions from fans, who express a blend of skepticism and hope regarding his inexperience. Additionally, assistant defensive line coach Cameron Davis has parted ways with the team, adding to the offseason's coaching turnover. The Lions are striving to maintain their competitive edge after a strong regular season that saw them win the NFC North and secure the top playoff seed, highlighting the need for stability in their coaching ranks. As the Lions look to bolster their staff, the pressure mounts on Campbell to ensure a successful transition into the upcoming season.
