Over the last three years, former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was instrumental in helping revitalize a once-dormant franchise into a Super Bowl contender. Now, with the Lions on the potential verge of their own glory, Johnson has jumped ship to become the Chicago Bears’ head coach and hopefully have similar success.

The Detroit Lions could promote from within for their next offensive coordinator, with two assistant coaches emerging as top candidates.

The Lions have plenty of in-house options to replace Ben Johnson as offensive coordinator including Scottie Montgomery and Tanner Engstrand.
