Done Deal: Back-to-Back—Detroit Lions Officially Announce New Coordinator Hires

The Detroit Lions have made it official—John Morton and Kelvin Sheppard are stepping into their new roles as coordinators, solidifying the team’s coaching staff for the upcoming season.

After a strong 2024 campaign that saw the Lions make waves in the NFL, Dan Campbell and his staff are looking to build on that success. Morton, a seasoned offensive mind, has been named the new passing game coordinator, while Sheppard, a rising star in the coaching ranks, takes over as defensive coordinator.

John Morton: A Veteran Play-Caller

Morton brings a wealth of experience to Detroit, having previously served as an offensive coordinator for the New York Jets and holding key roles with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, and Las Vegas Raiders. His ability to design an efficient passing attack could be crucial for the development of quarterbacks Jared Goff and Hendon Hooker.

Kelvin Sheppard: A Familiar Face Leading the Defense

Sheppard, a former Lions linebacker, has climbed the coaching ladder quickly, earning the trust of Campbell and defensive leaders. He served as the team’s linebackers coach last season and now takes the reins of the entire defense. His familiarity with the roster and his energetic coaching style make him a natural fit for the role.

With these hires locked in, the Lions have stability heading into 2025. Now, all eyes are on free agency and the NFL Draft as Detroit looks to cement itself as a long-term contender.
