Hooper Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Seattle has incredible facilities and arguably the most respected GM in the league. And an owner who is hands off. And it's become clear she isn't selling anytime soon. We have a lot to offer -- which is a huge change. But we also have terrible facilities -- thanks, Danny -- and the media is up in your business way more in the DMV than Seattle. Plus, not every coach wants to coach a rookie QB. They miss as much as they hit, if not more. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Johnson ends up in Seattle. 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgundyBooger Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I wonder if Pete Carroll's parting shot at the Seattle brass is a cause for concern for the candidates, specifically the part about decisions being made by non-football people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskinss Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The reason I'm much higher on johnson over Macdonald is two things. The first has been brought up several times, that he's an offensive coach and we want somebody to groom our rookie and stay for continuity. The second has been less mentioned, johnson came to a franchise with a history of wretched offense and short order turned them Into one of the premier offenses in the league, he completely changed the offensive culture in Detroit. Sure you can assume some of that credit goes to the rest of the supporting cast but by all accounts johnson is the mastermind behind that offense. Macdonald on the other hand came to a team with a 25 year history of elite defenses a culture of defensive dominance, now I'm not taking anything away from Macdonald he by all accounts is a defensive mastermind but theres a far greater chance that culture played a significant role in his success in Baltimore than Johnsons did in Detroit and I can't shake the feeling that could mean something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know conventional wisdom has him as the top HC candidate out there but I can't shake an uneasy feeling about him not keeping his foot on the gas in the second half vs. the 49ers. Are you really going to judge your next potential coach by one game. I'd sure you can find some head scratcher games for Kyle Shanahan. I think he called a good game though. I don't remember the last time we had an innovative coach like that. Edited January 29 by RVAskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sure you can find some head scratcher games for Kyle Shanahan. A game in which the offense scored 31 points against a team who had only given up 30+ points twice in 18 games. And had allowed more than 23 only three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I recanted what I said in a previous post. Go find it. Ok. LOL Let me help you: "I leave with this. Really it boils down to will Harris, Peters and Washington leadership choose Ben Johnson or Mike MacDonald. It's that simple. Tough choice to make as both are great at what they do as coordinators, Ben Johnson as OC and Mike MacDonald as DC. One of them will be our HC." 😉 What's wrong with you? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I can't see Johnson taking the Seattle job without at least hearing what we have to say in person. He was very complimentary of Peters when asked about him in a press conference recently. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bifflog Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Can't really fault the guy if he thinks we aren't it yet, but it would have softened the blow to not just be hearing this the day before he's supposed to interview 😅. Hopefully Plan B is a good one if we can't seal the deal. Edited January 29 by Bifflog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho fan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Obviously getting ahead of ourselves but thats what we do here I suppose. Imagine this.. Ben gets the Seattle interview. They love him. want him. Ben waits to talk to us. He chooses us. How good will that feel? Its just as likely (if not more so) as the Seahawks hiring him on the spot tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
