Listening proudly, Dan Campbell, as Former Lions Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson, delivers a fatherly role.
Ben Johnson, the former offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions, has made a significant move to the Chicago Bears, taking on the role of head coach. This change could potentially impact the performance of the Lions in the 2025 season.
Johnson's departure comes after a successful stint with the Lions, during which he attributed the team's success to the strong alignment within the organization. He praised his former mentor, Dan Campbell, as well as General Manager Brad Holmes and owner Sheila Ford Hamp for their contributions.
In an interview, Johnson expressed his affection for the relationships he built within the Lions organization and made it clear that he harbours no ill will towards his former team despite his departure. Johnson had been considering this move for several years.
The Lions have moved swiftly to fill the vacancy, bringing in John Morton as their new offensive coordinator. Morton has big shoes to fill, as Johnson was instrumental in the Lions' offensive success. Each coordinator is expected to require some time before they are comfortable in their new roles.
Kelvin Sheppard, on the other hand, has been promoted to the role of defensive coordinator for the Lions. Sheppard also has big shoes to fill, as he takes over from a coordinator who played a significant role in the Lions' defensive success.
The presence of Dan Campbell and limited turnover on the Lions' roster should allow them to maintain some level of normalcy. However, the first few weeks of the 2025 season should reveal how much things have changed, if at all, in Detroit.
The Lions may not win 15 games in 2025, but they are still expected to be one of the NFC's best teams. Johnson will face the Lions for the first time as a head coach in Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season, providing an early opportunity for both teams to measure their progress.
Despite Johnson's departure, the strong foundation he helped build in Detroit should serve the Lions well as they continue their pursuit of success in the 2025 season and beyond.
