Who is John Morton? Here's what to know about the new Detroit Lions offensive coordinator tasked with replacing Ben Johnson.

Campbell hired Morton as a senior offensive assistant that season. It just so happened to be Johnson’s first year as an offensive coordinator and play caller. He was only 35 at the time. Considering Campbell had fired Anthony Lynn just one year into his Detroit tenure, it was crucial for him to get the next hire right.

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.
