Lions fire offensive coordinator John Morton
Our Summary
The Detroit Lions have officially fired offensive coordinator John Morton after head coach Dan Campbell had previously taken over play-calling duties. Morton, who was hired a year ago following Ben Johnson's departure to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears, faced scrutiny from the start of the 2025 season regarding his capability to replace Johnson. Morton's previous experience includes serving as the offensive coordinator for both the New York Jets and USC, with nearly 30 years in coaching, mainly focusing on wide receivers. As Campbell now seeks a new offensive coordinator, the challenge remains to find a successor capable of meeting the team's expectations.
