The deals are signed and the Lions have officially announced that Morton and Sheppard will replace Johnson and Glenn, ushering in a new era for the franchise.

Former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is off to Chicago to lead the Bears. Former defensive Aaron Glenn is now the head coach of the New York Jets. Both will be missed in Detroit, but Campbell and company must move forward with the assistants remaining. That process has already begun.

The Detroit Lions on Thursday announced the hiring of John Morton as offensive coordinator and the promotion of Kelvin Sheppard to defensive coordinator.
