The Motor City knows a thing or two about rebuilding.

They've rebuilt the city, restored their image and even revived their NFL franchise – even though it will be undergoing some renovations this season. The Detroit Lions are taking a new approach in 2025, however. Instead of rebuilding the roster, it will be rebuilding the coaching staff.

Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn have departed for promotions elsewhere, leaving the Lions without their coordinators from the last few seasons.

The hope for Dan Campbell is that John Morton and Kelvin Sheppard can continue building off what was already in place, but growing pains are to be expected.

Detroit was eyeing their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history last year before they were rudely knocked out in the divisional round by the Washington Commanders.

Midnight might've struck on that magical season, but the Lions will hope the same can't be said for this era of football.

Lions record prediction 2025

Record prediction: 11-6

The Lions lived a charmed life in 2024, as they finished with a 15-2 record in the regular season and only had to venture outside for three games.

That won't be the case in 2025 when the schedule only gets more difficult and includes seven outdoor contests. Detroit has the honor of playing the league's third-toughest schedule, per Sharp Football Analysis. The road slate is particularly unforgiving.

Between that and having to adjust to a pair of new coordinators, the Lions are facing some regression in 2025.

Even if things work out for the group, they still have to deal with what should be a good division. The Packers are healthier, the Vikings are always solid and the Bears are improved with Ben Johnson now calling the shots.

With Jared Goff's outdoor struggles and some cold weather cities on the docket, this is no easy road for Detroit.

Despite overcoming an endless list of injuries last season, replicating a 15-2 season isn't easy. Dan Campbell's group is primed for another playoff appearance, even if the final record isn't as glamorous.
