Jared Goff offers thoughts on Ben Johnson’s departure, John Morton as OC

Jared Goff Shares Thoughts on Ben Johnson’s Departure and John Morton’s Promotion to OC

 

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff recently shared his thoughts on the offseason shakeup in the team’s coaching staff, particularly the departure of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and the promotion of John Morton to replace him.

 

Ben Johnson, who served as Detroit’s offensive coordinator for the past two seasons, had been a pivotal figure in the team’s offensive resurgence. Under Johnson’s leadership, the Lions’ offense made significant strides, with Goff’s performance hitting new heights. Johnson’s innovative schemes and ability to get the best out of his players made him one of the most talked-about coordinators in the league. However, his impressive work led to interest from other teams, and Johnson ultimately accepted an offer to become the head coach of a different NFL franchise, leaving the Lions with a tough decision on how to move forward.

 

Goff, in a recent interview, reflected on Johnson’s departure, acknowledging the positive impact the former coordinator had on his game and the offense as a whole. “Ben was a big part of what we were able to do the last couple of seasons,” Goff said. “He really helped bring out the best in everyone on offense, and he’s a guy I have a lot of respect for. We all knew he’d eventually get an opportunity to be a head coach, and I’m happy for him. It’s a great move for him, but it’s bittersweet for us, for sure.”

 

Despite the loss of Johnson, Goff remains optimistic about the Lions’ future and the new direction the offense will take under John Morton, the team’s new offensive coordinator. Morton, who previously served as the Lions’ wide receivers coach and has extensive experience coaching in various NFL roles, was promoted to fill the void left by Johnson. His history in both the NFL and college football gives him a well-rounded perspective on offensive strategy.

Goff expressed confidence in Morton’s ability to step into the role and continue building on the team’s offensive success. “John’s a guy we’re all familiar with,” Goff said. “He’s been in the room with us, and we’ve worked together for a while now. His knowledge of the game and his understanding of our personnel give us a lot of confidence moving forward.”

 

One of the key factors Goff pointed out about Morton’s promotion is his communication skills and understanding of player development. “John has always been able to get the best out of guys, whether it’s working with wide receivers or making sure the offense is clicking as a unit. He knows how to adapt and create game plans that suit the strengths of the players. That’s something that’s really exciting for us as a team.”

 

As the Lions prepare for the 2025 season, Goff remains optimistic that Morton will be able to maintain the offensive momentum established under Johnson while adding his own touch to the game plan. “Change is always a part of the NFL, but I feel good about where we’re headed with John leading the offense. It’s going to be a different feel, but we’ve got a lot of confidence in him, and we’re all ready to get to work.”

 

With Goff’s endorsement and the continuity of the coaching staff, the Lions are poised to remain competitive in the NFC North, hoping that Morton’s leadership will help carry the team to even greater heights in the coming years.
