It’s been a long time coming, but Ben Johnson (Chicago Bears) and Aaron Glenn (New York Jets) are off to run their own franchises. Who they take with them is the next question, but what we do know right now is that Dan Campbell is tasked with replacing two of his closest confidants in the middle of a Super Bowl window.

The Lions are heading into the offseason sooner than they or most anyone expected. We’ll kick-start the process by evaluating five questions facing the team.

Most coaches and players will quote a 'next man up' mentality when asked about injuries, adding that it's a part of the game.

Less than one week after being hired as the 19th head coach in Chicago Bears history, Ben Johnson has chosen his three coordinators.

The Chicago Bears hired Dennis Allen to serve as Ben Johnson's defensive coordinator in a move that brings instant credibility to the coaching staff. Here's our grade for the move.

The Detroit Lions may need a replacement for defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn soon, as the Lions coach is likely to land a head-coaching gig in 2025. With that in mind, one NFL analyst is urging the Lions to replace Glenn with a two-time head coach who has experience as a defensive coordinator.
