5 options to replace Kelvin Sheppard as Lions' DC if Dan Campbell pulls the plug

With the playoffs officially not in play after a Christmas Day loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has promised a look at everything in the effort to put things back on course in 2026 and beyond.

One change that is absolutely coming for the Lions is at offensive coordinator. Campbell took play-calling away from John Morton in the middle of the season, and that is an undeniably pre-cursor to Morton being let go the day after the season is over. There's a small chance Morton is retained in a role similar to what he had on the Detroit staff in 2022, but a clean break is most likely.
