According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garofolo, the team is promoting LBs coach Kelvin Sheppard to defensive coordinator. He'll take over for new New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn.

Aaron Glenn's departure comes days after Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson left to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears.

The Detroit Lions coaching staff is going to look very different in 2025. They have already lost both of their coordinators, Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson, to head coaching jobs, and several other assistants have followed them out of town.
