Lions fire offensive coordinator John Morton after one season
Our Summary
The Detroit Lions have fired offensive coordinator John Morton after just one season with the team. This decision follows the Lions' victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 18, a game that also involved facing their former offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson. Head coach Dan Campbell had assumed play-calling responsibilities from Morton during the season, as the Lions finished with a 9-8 record and did not qualify for the playoffs. The team is now beginning the search for Morton's replacement.
