The Detroit Lions, coming off a strong 2024 season, may face significant challenges in 2025 as they likely lose both offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. This situation mirrors what the Philadelphia Eagles experienced in 2023, when losing both coordinators led to a sputtering finish and an early playoff exit.
The Lions’ offense and defense were key to their success last season, but with the potential departure of both coordinators, Detroit’s future could be in jeopardy if head coach Dan Campbell doesn’t make strong hires. Johnson’s departure, in particular, could leave a hole in the offense that the team might struggle to fill.
Injuries to key defensive players in 2024 also impacted their playoff run, and it’s clear that while the Lions boast immense talent, coaching will remain pivotal to their success moving forward. With a solid draft strategy and high expectations, 2025 could be a make-or-break year for the Lions as Campbell looks to maintain the momentum from the team’s resurgence.
