Exciting changes for the Detroit Lions as they hire John Morton as their new offensive coordinator! Morton, an Auburn Hills native, is no stranger to the NFL, with over 25 years of experience coaching teams like the Oakland Raiders, New Orleans Saints, and most recently, the Denver Broncos. After coaching rookie QB Bo Nix to an impressive debut season, Morton is now back in Detroit, having previously worked as a senior offensive assistant in 2022.
This move comes after Ben Johnson’s departure to the Chicago Bears, and fans are eager to see how Morton will lead the Lions’ high-powered offense, including stars like Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jahmyr Gibbs. Morton’s rich background and history of coaching under some big names like Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh have Lions fans hopeful for a fresh, dynamic approach to the team’s offensive game plan.
With the Lions looking to build on their recent success, this could be the next exciting chapter in Detroit football. What are your thoughts on the new hire?
