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.

The Detroit Lions are working on rebuilding their coaching staff after it got ravaged in the wake of their 2024 campaign ending. After promoting from within to replace defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, it looks like the Lions are going to steal a coach from the Denver Broncos in order to replace offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

The Detroit Lions were almost certainly the NFL’s most dominant team in the regular season. The key to their success that saw them win the NFC North title and earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff structure was an explosive offense that averaged a league-best 33.
