The Detroit Lions will be looking for new offensive and defensive coordinators in 2025, as Ben Johnson accepted a head coaching job with the Chicago Bears, and most recently, it’s been announced that Aaron Glenn has accepted a head coaching position with the New York Jets.
When Johnson exited, we identified 12 offensive coordinator candidates for the Lions to consider, and now with Glenn also on the move, we’ve compiled a list of candidates the Lions should consider for their vacated defensive coordinator position.
While Lions coach Dan Campbell has a very clear set of parameters that he desires in a new offensive coordinator, he was also very adamant about wanting the core philosophies on defense intact.
