That's why I always thought it was a shoe in for Johnson to be our new HC and money wouldn't be the issue with Johnson but Tepper would and still think so.

Will be extremely bad luck for him if this doesn’t happen and he gets washed out of two organizations quickly due to turnover, as a promising coordinator. Happened in DEN when Payton came in and could easily happen again in CAR. I agree, hope they love him in CAR and that spot gets filled. One less suitor for Johnson.

peanut0862 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Fun fact: Drake Maye has been working this season with Clyde Christensen, a long time NFL coach including OC with the Dolphins where he worked closely with Assistant WR coach Ben Johnson.

Warhead36 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I love Johnson's scheme and aggressive nature as a playcaller while also still mixing in good run-pass balance. The question is if he has leadership and management skills but he is A1 hot sauce as an offensive mind. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAskins Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 If Johnson does get the HC job, we need a DC who is just as innovative on that side of the ball. I'm tired of DC's who are inflexible and try to put square pegs in round holes. Back in the day, when Gibbs was the HC, I knew they would make adjustments at half time if something wasn't working. I never had that feeling with JDR or RR. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on Benjamin! Already reported that OL Coach Hank Fraley will be coming as OC with Ben Johnson. Maybe T.J. Barrett as QB coach or if Campbell lets him go, Mark Brunell. Asst. WR Coach, Seth Ryan as the WR coach. Don't know who off the Lions roster would be the RB coach as there is no Asst. RB coach or Running Game coordinator but I'm sure Ben has someone in mind already.

Telling you with Johnson, he has the old school, smash mouth football scheme, with modern day wrinkles and twists in it too and he's still creating it. He to me, is our modern-day Joe Gibbs. With him bringing over Hank Fraley as his OC, we have our modern-day Joe Bugel back too! Does anyone else envision the same? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Ejiro is not getting more attention as a head coach candidate, it must be something we don't know about because his recent resume seems phenomenal to me. He was a big part of the rams outstanding superbowl winning defense, then a year later he was in Denver and despite the team being a total train wreck resulting in the termination of the head coach he had a very good defense and then in Carolina the exact same thing, first year there, complete train wreck resulting in the termination of the head coach, in season this time and despite that an excellent defense. On paper he looks incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who that person is, I don't know but I have mentioned DL coach from the 9ers, Kris Kocurek but I've heard reports that he is happy just being a DL coach with the 9ers so hopefully Peters or even Ben Johnson has a dandy in mind. I would love the Raven's DL coach Weaver but he will likely take over for MacDonald as DC when he is hired as a HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAskins Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I just read that Atlanta is pumping the brakes on hiring Bill Belichick. At one time it sounded like a done deal but now they are a bit concerned because no one else is showing interest in him. I don't think teams want a 71 year old HC.

Ball Security Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 If the Titans new HC brings his guys in, and Vrabel doesn’t get a job, Shane Bowen would be at the top of my list. Also, I see that Chris Harris may get the Bears DC job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is if he has leadership and management skills but he is A1 hot sauce as an offensive mind. I get a good vibe about his leadership skills. It's part of the reason why I prefer him over Slowik -- I have some concerns about Slowik on that front. Reading about Slowik he comes off as a super nice guy but he doesn't scream leadership to me. But with Johnson, heard good things from his players on that front. Supposedly he's a great communicator, great teacher, coonnects well with players. I've read many times how much Ben learned from Campbell about leadership-motivation. The kicker for me was one of the national media guys who does NFL games saying he's around coordinators before every game and Johnson is the one in a different strata as far as his presence and ability to communicate. He found him to be the best on that front. I don't get the vibe that Ben Johnson is like Tony Robbins level motivational skills but I get the vibe that he's a B on that front -- but an A as a dude, A as a teacher, A as a communicator. I get why so many think Ben Johnson and Peters are a package deal because reading about them both -- they come off profile as similar people.

Yeah listening to him speak in press conferences he gives off a Sean McVay type vibe. Really smart guy, but communicates clearly and is just a really good teacher while being innovative with his scheming and playcalling. Remember, McVay had a ton of hype too and he has lived up. We had him in our building and let him get away. Its time to go get the next one from someone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
