The Detroit Lions are in the market for a new offensive coordinator for the second consecutive offseason after firing John Morton following one season in Detroit. It just never worked out with Morton in Detroit, and the move to fire him was preceded by head coach Dan Campbell taking playcalling duties away from him after Week 10.

Morton was hired after serving as a senior assistant on Detroit’s offensive staff in 2022 and as the passing game coordinator for the Denver Broncos from 2023-24.
