Warhead36 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 11 minutes ago, Conn said: Most importantly, Johnson and he already collaborate every single day so Johnson knows what sort of mind he’d be bringing with him as he continues to develop his offensive scheme over the years. Especially given how important marrying the run and pass are in Johnson’s offense. And if we’re successful, and this guy is like a second brain for Johnson, he might not get stolen as he won’t be calling the plays. Could be the perfect setup. Yep pre existing chemistry between HC and OC would be huge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it hurts our free agent chances (maybe), but would a coach be concerned about attracting free agents or bringing some of their favorite current players along for transition's sake? Our practice facilities suck... our executive office spaces suck... our stadium SUCKS! Do you see these as possible issues that a coach candidate mentions? Could definitely be a factor but Im sure GMAP has Harris’s word that new(or at least significantly upgraded) facilities are on the way sooner rather than later. I drove by Commanders Park the other day and it looks so bland. 1 minute ago, ThatNFLChick said: Lots of talent at the skill position and they’re probably serious contenders for Cousins.

Conn Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) 32 minutes ago, FrFan said: We're supposed to sign Johnson so why are we interviewing him ? Because Keim is telling the truth? We may have a favorite in Johnson but a competent search committee and FO is going to earnestly explore the interview process and give all the worthy candidates a chance, their minds aren’t made up just because Ben Johnson seems like he could be the top candidate. Johnson may be a heavy favorite but you still interview all the candidates you’re interested in. It’s a valuable process for many reasons, even if you eventually do hire your original favored choice. Not to be indelicate but I also think there’s something to be said, perception-wise and morally, for not “just” interviewing the number of Rooney Rule candidates you’re required to before you just hire the white guy everyone assumed you were gonna hire anyways. Have a deep, diverse search process and honestly indulge in the opportunity to pick the brains of many, many qualified candidates. Then, if your early favorite still comes out the other side as your best option, you make the hire. If not, and someone else blows your socks off (this is famously what happened with Mike Tomlin), you hire them instead. But I think the most important takeaway is that the POV you express in the post above is disrespectful both to the idea of an honest hiring process, and to the assumed intelligence and integrity levels of Harris and Adams and the rest of the search committee. They see value in hearing the pitch and vision all these candidates have for the future of the organization, you should too. They are running a legitimate interview cycle, not just checking boxes in a sham process like Snyder would. Even if we all mostly like the idea of Ben Johnson, in the end, we have to respect that these guys are doing things right.

Curtisp5286 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Out of Johnson, MacDonald, and Slowik, I don’t know which is a more brilliant schemer, but when I listen to them speak Johnson seems like the most confident and engaging communicator to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousD Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Someone posted earlier that when the Ravens last played the Lions, MacDonald ran rings around Johnson! Seems Mac’s scheme has real teeth and he does it without an abundance of high end talent to boot. Take that with a pinch if you want but I’m more than intrigued by the potential of Mac as HC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a 47yo spots medicine physician, not a 13yo on an xbox forum. A simple, "You are allowed to interview in the first week after the championship games, but not to hire", would have sufficed. I've heard people say opposing things about the rules. But I hope you feel big! I'll be sure to message you with further questions. I hope you're not like that in person. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya.. But, as we are well aware, 1st rd picks are not always a guarantee of high end production. Additionally, for a defense that finished 1st in points allowed and tied 1st in turnovers, they bagged only 2 pro bowl nods. It seems like one of those “the sum is more than the total of the parts” scenarios. That would equate to high end scheme, right?

If he’s under contract, they don’t need to let him leave for another opportunity unless he’s promoted to GM somewhere. Unless it’s just out of the goodness of their hearts, or Telesco wants him fired. Both are possible but not guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
