The NFL is a league that's always following a trend, so it's not a surprise the Detroit Lions' success under Dan Campbell has every team trying to find
Randle El, who played nine seasons as a receiver in the NFL, joined coach Dan Campbell's staff as the WR coach after two years as an offensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Lions won a franchise-record 15 games in 2024 but were upset 45–31 by the Washington Commanders in the divisional round last weekend.
On paper, the Detroit Lions’ Super Bowl window should stay wide open for some more years. In reality, that might not be the case. Dan Campbell is close to losing his top assistant coaches, which cannot be overlooked.
According to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday evening, the Chicago Bears are set to hire Antwaan Randle El to be their new assistant head coach and wide receivers coach. He will be one of the first significant hires by new head coach Ben Johnson, who was just hired by the Bears after serving as the Lions offensive coordinator.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, top internal candidates to replace Johnson and Glenn include assistant head coach/running backs coach Scottie Montgomery, passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand and linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard.
The Detroit Lions have been a juggernaut in the NFL over the past two seasons. Overseen by head coach Dan Campbell, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is in charge of the league’s No. 1 scoring offense while defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is leading one of the scrappiest units in the game.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said the team's Super Bowl window remains open and that "we've got players in every pivotal position you can ask for to have success."

NFL insider Adam Schefter added another person to the list of potential new Dallas Cowboys head coaches. Besides Deion Sanders, Schefter said that former All-Pro tight end Jason Witten could find his way back to AT&T Stadium this offseason.
The Lions officially bid adieu to their coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn in a bittersweet social media post.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Bears are working to finalize a deal to make Lions wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El as their new assistant head coach/wide receivers coach, and Cowboys defensive backs coach Al Harris is set to become Chicago’s defensive pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach.
