The Detroit Lions have been an explosive lot for the entire season. No longer are they a team that was undervalued by others. And after winning their first season since 2017, their offensive coordinator coach Ben Johnson confirmed to the team that he will return for another season. 

The uncertainty and panic were finally put to rest when the coach confirmed his decision. Johnson, in his young coaching career, made a huge name for himself and earned several accolades. Nobody could underestimate his offensive prowess. 

Fans excitedly reacted to the news of Ben Johnson joining the squad again

The 36-year-old converted the Lions’ offense into a powerhouse. However, the franchise will have to worry about one thing and that is the happiness could all get snatched away by a league that wants to hire skilled offensive-minded head coaches.

This fan thinks Johnson deserves a raise and should stay with the team for a longer time.

Many fans rejoiced at the re-hiring of Johnson.

The Lions became more powerful under their coach

According to Detroit Free Press, Ben Johnson virtually gave interviews to three teams recently. The teams were Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, and Indianapolis Colts. Under the coach, the team ranked in the top ten in the offensive category. They were fourth in total yards, sixth in passing, and fifth in the NFL in terms of points scored (26.6 ppg).

Although they missed out on the postseason, Detroit topped 30 points eight times and won eight of their final ten games.  It is expected that the Lions will enter the next season as the most deserving team to win the NFC North division. 

Dan Campbell only had good things to say about Johnson and anticipated that throughout the hiring process, he would receive a fresh offer. Hence, it will be interesting to see where would the coach take his team in the next season.
