Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has hired former Stanford sideline boss David Shaw as his new passing game coordinator.

It’s been a long time coming, but Ben Johnson (Chicago Bears) and Aaron Glenn (New York Jets) are off to run their own franchises. Who they take with them is the next question, but what we do know right now is that Dan Campbell is tasked with replacing two of his closest confidants in the middle of a Super Bowl window.

The Detroit Lions' coaching staff has undergone the biggest changes yet this offseason under fifth-year head coach Dan Campbell.

Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions have had to revamp their coaching staff early this offseason. The Lions lost both coordinators to head coaching jobs, with offensive coordinator Ben Johnson taking over the Chicago Bears and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn leaving for the New York Jets.

Randle El, who played nine seasons as a receiver in the NFL, joined coach Dan Campbell's staff as the WR coach after two years as an offensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Lions won a franchise-record 15 games in 2024 but were upset 45–31 by the Washington Commanders in the divisional round last weekend.
