OtisDriftwood25 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I don’t think we have to make assumptions about Johnson. Sometimes after a loss like that you can make an emotional decision. Detroit has great offensive talent and there will be more opportunities for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 2 minutes ago, Jumbo said: I alluded to this in the post I made about seeing a candidate viewing the Seahawks as a better destination than the commanders. I think we're, understandably, exaggerating our attractiveness to a cream of the crop candidate vs every other alternative and I had the chargers as a better place to go in mind too before they got theirs. But we should be attractive enough to not tail end of the line. San Diego vs the DMV. Way to go out on a limb there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantu Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 2 minutes ago, ThatNFLChick said: I think this is the narrative that will come out of all of this. Front offices, coaches, people around the league sort of knew that Johnson may need his Daddy for a little while longer and was looking for a team to make an offer he couldn't refuse and Commies, Seahawks were like we'll treat you like the first year, no inexperienced HC that you are.

KDawg Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 1 minute ago, Curtisp5286 said: Why do you think he isn’t getting a shake. He has interview for 5 HC jobs. Seems like teams are considering him a good candidate. Because I am not in the know of the situation and the media has said zero about it other than he interviewed last week. I am not, in any way, claiming I know that Slowik won’t be given a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 18 minutes ago, PleaseBlitz said: Johnson was by-far my favored pick. Gotta wonder why he's given up a HC position and millions of dollars 2 years in a row. Does not seem rationale. Maybe he believes in what's going on in Detroit amd finishing that first matters...he kinda has to be pragmatic in regards to hearing out offers, but you right two years in row sounds like he's not ready to leave Detroit even though people are asking. I've never heard of someone on their way to interview someone being told by the person they want wasn't interest ending well for that person...folks talk, something happened and truth will come to light.

Harris doesn't appear to work that way. I'm sure he has a list and a plan. We'll find out soon. Slowik, MacDonald, Weaver, Quinn, Glenn. Those are the backups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapsSkins Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Count me in Camp MacDonald. I was offense or bust but Slowik doesn’t appear to be much of a hot commodity. MacDonald is my fav of those remaining — we can figure something else out for OC. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 2 minutes ago, KDawg said: The hits keep on coming for Hitman, here. in all honesty I’m betting you really do have some kind of connection but I’m guessing it’s not one directly involved. Kudos for having the courage to put it out there, and you seemed to learn the lesson on not using words like “lock” and “done deal” given your very last post on the subject. In other commentary: 1. I do not expect that they keep EB. But I do want to stress and reiterate that any scenario where he is kept is nightmare fuel. 2. I think we hear Slowik’s name more but if he stunk at his interview then it won’t be him. 3. I have a feeling it’s going to be Quinn. And I will be pretty unhappy with that news. If a defensive guy Weaver or Mac are interesting choices. But I’m hoping we open up the search to even more O candidates. 4. I’m not going to join in on the “Johnson is weak!” For the guy deciding he wants to stay where he is. That’s his prerogative and choice. He handled it poorly. I won’t speculate on his reasons. 5. For clarification You quoted my post and referred to Hitman. Hitman isn't me of course for those uninitiated. But to the rest of your post. 😎 If there is something to Ben's personality making him the underdog, be shocked if Slowik emerged. It would be likey that nerdy kid struck out at the singles bar, but wonder if they even nerdier kid does better? But will see -- maybe personality-leadership didn't do Johnson in. I just don't buy Johnson thinking he has this in the bag and bowed out. i am guessing he got word that someone who interviewed yesterday killed it or something like that. Granted its just a guess. But there are reporters guessing the same. Yeah I have a feeling its Quinn too. The Seattle reporter I listened to this morning said the team was very intrigued by McDonald because they are obsessed with beating SF and Mcdonald helped do that. He still thought Johnson was higher on their list but thought Mcdonald had a strong shot. Sheehan said today that he heard that the brass was very impressed with Quinn in his zoom interview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
