About this listen

Following a disappointing 9-8 season, the Detroit Lions have officially dismissed offensive coordinator John Morton after only one year on the job. Morton was hired to maintain the team's high-scoring standards after their previous coordinator left for a head coaching position, but the offense struggled to find a consistent identity. The decline in performance led head coach Dan Campbell to seize play-calling duties mid-season, a role he may retain permanently to ensure coaching stability. Despite boasting Pro Bowl talent like Amon-Ra St. Brown, the team failed to qualify for the postseason for the first time in several years. Campbell is now evaluating the team's future leadership as he reflects on a season he personally graded as a failure.
