Lions OC Morton Out as Campbell Reshapes Coaching Staff
7 Jan
Summary
- Lions offensive coordinator was dismissed following team's playoff miss.
- Dan Campbell reassigned play-calling duties mid-season.
- This marks the third offensive coordinator change in three seasons.
Following a disappointing season where the Detroit Lions missed the playoffs, the team has parted ways with offensive coordinator Ben Morton. This decision was anticipated after head coach Dan Campbell assumed direct control of play-calling midway through the season.
Campbell is now tasked with finding his third offensive coordinator within a three-year span. This marks a period of significant coaching changes aimed at revitalizing the Lions' offensive performance and regaining their competitive edge in the league.
Morton brought over two decades of coaching experience to the Lions, having previously served in various roles with multiple NFL franchises. His tenure concluded as the Lions look to a new offensive architect to guide them in upcoming seasons.
