Just moments ago, Tom Pelissero reported that Johnson has told NFL teams that he has decided to remain with the Lions for the 2023 season.

From Tom Pelissero:

Johnson informed interested teams he’s staying in Detroit, per sources. Johnson was slated to travel Wednesday to interview with the #Panthers. But he feels Detroit is building something special and wants to see it through. Should be a hot HC name again next year.

Johnson interviewed virtually with the #Colts and #Texans and was considered a strong candidate in Carolina, where he grew up. Instead, he’ll be back in Detroit leading one of the NFL’s most entertaining offenses.
