[562] Detroit Lions Offseason Kickoff – Detroit Lions Podcast

Detroit Lions Enter a New Era with Fresh Coaching Hires

The Detroit Lions are officially moving forward into the 2025 NFL season, and after an offseason of change, the team has put together a new coaching staff to help build on last year’s success. With the departure of Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn to head coaching positions, Detroit needed to reload, and they’ve done just that with several key hires.

The Lions have brought in John Morton as the offensive coordinator, adding a seasoned play-caller with experience developing high-powered offenses. In addition, former Stanford head coach David Shaw joins the staff as the run game coordinator, bringing a wealth of knowledge in offensive scheming and player development. The team also hired Bruce Gradkowski and Tyler Roehl to round out their offensive coaching unit.

Detroit has a track record of finding the right people at the right time, and this offseason was no different. Dan Campbell and GM Brad Holmes have once again positioned the team for long-term success, ensuring continuity and adaptability as they prepare for another playoff push.

Retrospective on the Lions Season: Learning from 2024

Looking back, the Lions season was filled with highs and lows, but there’s no denying Detroit proved itself as a legitimate contender. After clinching the NFC North, earning the number one seed, and hosting playoff football at Ford Field, the Lions established themselves as a force in the NFL.

However, the postseason didn’t go as planned, with Detroit falling short in the divisional round. The loss stung, but it provided valuable lessons for the team as they look to take the next step. With a solid core in place and new coaches ready to step in, the Lions are in a prime position to make another deep run in 2025.

NFL Draft 2025: The Lions’ Next Big Move

With coaching hires finalized, the Lions’ next priority is the 2025 NFL Draft. Detroit has excelled at drafting impact players in recent years, and this year’s draft will be another crucial step toward building a Super Bowl contender. Expect the Lions to target defensive depth, offensive line reinforcements, and possibly a new playmaker on offense to complement Jared Goff.
