The Lions have known for two years that they were likely to lose Glenn and Johnson. Anyone who thinks that the whole organization has not been thinking about and planning for the transition clearly has not bought into the new Lions.

Now, the Lions are also starting over at both the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator positions on their coaching staff, with OC Ben Johnson being hired to be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears and DC Aaron Glenn being hired to be the next head coach of the New York Jets.

Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson gave his defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn some praise about being in the head coaching search.
