With Ben Johnson off to be the head coach of the Chicago Bears, the Lions will need a new voice to lead the offense. Johnson's move to the division rival has frustrated some fans, and left pundits wondering if there was friction amongst Dan Campbell's coaching staff.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Dan Campbell’s had a few days to process his team’s 45-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. The film told him the Lions lost as a team. He experienced several stages of grief. But in typical Campbell fashion, he’s moving forward.

Detroit Lions' Jared Goff, Dan Campbell picked as finalists for top NFL awards to be announced Feb. 6 in New Orleans.

“Does not sound like Bears will be a destination for Lions OL coach Hank Fraley. Perhaps Ben Johnson does get an assistant from Detroit to join him but Fraley is not expected. Johnson isn’t going to raid Dan Campbell ’s staff,” Biggs wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff and Dan Campbell have been named finalists for MVP and Coach of the Year, respectively.

Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn have been hot names this coaching cycle and Detroit's head coach is preparing to have to replace both of them.

Wojo asks Dan Campbell about expectations of being No. 1 seed in NFC. John Niyo makes a guest appearance with Nolan and Richard Jameson Williams says "fans cause false starts and delay of games" David Montgomery says the "stakes are high" against Commanders.

There has been a rumor going around in recent days that suggests Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell and former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson may have had some friction before his exit. Johnson addressed that on Thursday.

Lions coach Dan Campbell has big potential away from football. With a Super Bowl title he might become a cultural icon like Mike Ditka or John Madden.

GM Brad Holmes was the same way. His superpower was his ability to identify talent. Not managing people. So, after Campbell was hired, he jumped into the pre-draft preparations, working with Holmes.
