Schefter: Lions Will Lose Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn to HC Jobs amid Raiders, Jets Buzz

The Detroit Lions are likely to be in the market for two new coordinators this offseason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter reported Thursday on Get Up the Lions are "gonna lose both" offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who are "destined" to get hired as head coaches.

Albert Breer of The MMQB wrote earlier in the week that "it'd feel like an upset if Detroit kept either of its coordinators."

The Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vincent Bonsignore reported Wednesday that there's "a lot of momentum" building toward Johnson and the Las Vegas Raiders. Vic Tafur of The Athletic added that Johnson is "seriously considering" the franchise as he evaluates all of his options.

Glenn, meanwhile, could get poached by the New Orleans Saints or New York Jets, both of whom have emerged as strong suitors.

Losing Johnson and Glenn in the same offseason would be a major test for Lions head coach Dan Campbell.

Campbell hit a home run when he first hired Glenn in 2021 and then promoted Johnson in 2022. Glenn was an outside hire, having worked as the New Orleans Saints defensive backs coach from 2016-20. Johnson first arrived in Detroit as an offensive quality control coach in 2019 and was the tight ends coach when Campbell came aboard.

You have two different processes that led to the Lions getting their two coordinators. That will leave fans encouraged the team can replace Johnson and Glenn with candidates who, if not as good, can at least keep it on track to contend for titles.

Detroit figures to be an attractive landing spot for aspiring coaches, too, since it's clear you can be put in a position to thrive. Campbell has always been quick to praise his assistants, and the organization's collaborative culture is a major ingredient in its on-field success.

It also helps that Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes have known well in advance that Johnson and Glenn are likely gone. They've probably pondered over how to go about filling those jobs and which coaches could be smart hires.
