[561] Detroit Lions Offseason Shuffle Begins – Detroit Lions Podcast

Detroit Lions Face Coaching Shakeup After Playoff Heartbreak

The Detroit Lions‘ remarkable 2024 NFL season came to a crushing end in the divisional round of the 2024 NFL playoffs, as they suffered a devastating loss to the Washington Commanders. A season filled with promise and championship aspirations was cut short, leaving the team to regroup and look ahead to the future. However, the offseason has already brought significant changes, with both Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn departing for head coaching jobs, marking a major shift in Detroit’s coaching staff.

Ben Johnson, the mastermind behind the Lions’ high-powered offense, has been hired as the head coach of the Chicago Bears, putting him in direct competition with his former team twice a year. Meanwhile, Aaron Glenn, who played a key role in the Lions’ defensive resurgence, has been hired as the head coach of the New York Jets. To make matters more challenging, defensive line coach Terrell Williams has also left, leaving multiple vacancies on Dan Campbell’s staff.

Despite these losses, the Lions remain confident in their ability to rebuild the coaching staff and continue their upward trajectory. General Manager Brad Holmes and Campbell have been working behind the scenes to find the right replacements, ensuring that Detroit’s culture of toughness and innovation remains intact.
