The Detroit Lions appear to be preparing for the loss of pass game coordinator Tanner Engstrand, who is the lead candidate to become the New York Jets’ next offensive coordinator. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero,

The Detroit Lions are back in the hiring news again. They have hired former Standford head coach and current Broncos senior personal director David Shaw to be their passing game coordinator. Right off the bat,

Steve Heiden, who spent the past 2 seasons coaching TEs for the Detroit Lions, joins former Lions DC Aaron Glenn's staff with the New York Jets.

Campbell hired Morton as a senior offensive assistant that season. It just so happened to be Johnson’s first year as an offensive coordinator and play caller. He was only 35 at the time. Considering Campbell had fired Anthony Lynn just one year into his Detroit tenure, it was crucial for him to get the next hire right.

The Detroit Lions have landed on a replacement for offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, picking John Morton to lead the new unit.

The coordinators hired by Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson enter their new jobs with vastly different amounts of coaching experience. Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen has had two stints as an NFL head coach while new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle is the youngest coordinator in the league.
