Another NFL coach bites the dust. This time, in Detroit.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has decided to shake up his coaching staff after a tremendously disappointing season in Motor City.

On Tuesday, the Lions announced that they have parted ways with John Morton after just one season as the club’s offensive coordinator. The 56-year-old spent the previous two years as the Denver Broncos’ pass game coordinator.

Detroit’s decision to fire Morton came minutes before the Baltimore Ravens fired legendary head coach John Harbaugh in a stunning move. Earlier in the day, the Washington Commanders also parted ways with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt.

Dan Campbell hired John Morton as a senior offensive assistant in 2022. The latter spent the next two years in Denver before returning to the Lions, whose OC position opened up when the Chicago Bears hired Ben Johnson.

Per ESPN, the Lions finished fifth in yards for (373.2 per game) and tied for fourth in scoring offense (28.3). Morton certainly wasn’t the issue in Detroit, so Dan Campbell’s decision to fire him is a bit surprising.

The 2025 Lions will go down as one of the most disappointing teams in NFL history. Two years ago, they played in the NFC Championship Game. Last year, they finished with a franchise-record 15 regular-season wins.

Like 2024, this season was supposed to be the Lions’ year. But, they finished a disappointing 9-8, having lost four of their final six games. A 2-4 record within the division (they swept the Chicago Bears), proved to be the difference.

Campbell has already decided to shake up his coaching staff. He also must figure out how to fix the interior offensive line and a lousy defense that lives and dies by the performance of Aidan Hutchinson.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
