Dan Campbell Conducted Nearly 26 Interviews to Rebuild Lions’ Coaching Staff
The Detroit Lions are entering a new era—again. After their dream season ended in a shocking playoff loss to Washington, head coach Dan Campbell was hit with another challenge: rebuilding his coaching staff from scratch.
With offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn both landing head coaching jobs, plus several other assistants leaving for new opportunities, Campbell had to find a new team of leaders. And he didn’t take the job lightly—he revealed he conducted between 24 and 26 interviews this offseason to find the right fits.
Calling this the “Phase 2” of his Lions tenure, Campbell is focused on keeping Detroit’s momentum going after back-to-back NFC North titles. But with so much turnover, can this new group keep the team on track? The Lions are facing a big test in 2025, and all eyes will be on Campbell’s new hires to see if they can keep the winning culture alive.
