The latest episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast is now out and available for download or streaming. In this episode, much of the focus is on the assistant coaching staff and the promotion of TE coach Ben Johnson to the offensive coordinator position and on the assistant coaching staff under Dan Campbell.
Johnson’s official promotion to the OC spot was a long time coming. We break down how much control Johnson had during the season and what might change a bit. There is also a good discussion on defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant and his upward mobility. Pleasant interviewed with the Vikings and Saints this week for defensive coordinator spots.
There is also a quick recap of the lessons from Senior Bowl week and what happened on radio row in Mobile. We also offer our picks for Super Bowl LVI and the concept of rooting for/against Matthew Stafford now that he’s no longer in Detroit.
