Some would think they would stayed and tried to hammer out a deal before flying back to Seattle. Hopefully, they are on the phone with Quinn working out a deal.

Inigo Montoya Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Interesting timing with Schefty coming out yesterday to say things aren't as they seem, there had to be info leaked to him - contract or otherwise. He was my number #1, not sure how to feel 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a Seahawk fan be allowed to ****? No, I can't say those things about Seattle. I'm not sure what the point is here. The Seahawks are light years better as an organization than we are. Are you trying to make yourself feel better that he turned down a better opportunity aside from us? Is that what we should be taking comfort in?

ThatNFLChick Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Does anyone have a list of all the people who claimed "Johnson was a lock" so I know not to take what they say with a grain of salt moving forward? Boomer Esiason Peter King Who else? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 7 minutes ago, Skinsinparadise said: Feels weird to me. Johnson taking interviews. Campbell saying Johnson ready to be a HC. Even Schefter now mentioning he wanted big money. Yet, Keim, Schefter mentioning don't count that this team has him as the guy, other real contenders here. My guess is he via back channels either got the idea he wasn't getting the job, or its 50-50, or no one was paying his price. I suspect there was something he felt wasn't going his way. I been saying that I wanted to see that he was a leader and I'm guessing that Peters and Harris said the same, before shelling out the big bucks. and Johnson I guess felt insulted by that.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) I know it comes across like a spurned lover, and it’s partly that- because waiting on him likely put us behind the 8 ball. But I actually look at it from the perspective that we may have dodged a bullet. Anyone complacent enough to continue being 2nd fiddle AGAIN, or if rumors are true wants an unprecedented amount of money to coach, those are red flags for me.

Chris 44 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Probably just got himself another raise from Detroit. Below is from last year. Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson rewarded the team taking a chance on him and trusting him to unleash his creative, aggressive offense in Detroit by returning to the Lions for another season. Now the Lions are rewarding Johnson for choosing to shun head coaching interviews elsewhere. According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, Johnson and the Lions have agreed to a new contract that will give the second-year offensive coordinator a lucrative raise. Johnson’s salary in 2022, his first season as a coordinator, is publicly unknown. Coordinators generally earn around $1M-$1.5M per season, though that varies with experience level and team.

RWJ Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 17 minutes ago, Skinsinparadise said: He didn't say they were impressed or not impressed with McDonald. But to play along as for why should or shouldn't they be impressed -- our predispositions are irrelevant -- we aren't participating in the interview. You seem hot against Quinn. I want Mcdonald over Quinn myself. But I don't think they are stupid for example for being impressed with Quinn. If Keim has said for weeks if you ask around the NFL, Quinn gets the most props among the people he talks to. Logan Paulsen thinks Quinn walks on water. If this regime is impressed with Quinn, they won't be on an island. Judging by buzz though I think Mcdonald has a shot. Feels like a 2 man race unless something new develops. Just not a fan of Quinn as many are not. He's had his chance at HC. Let Boy Wonder MacDonald of Baltimore have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmania123 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Sort of a gut punch to end the season for him. Could be he simply wants to run it back with Detroit and try to get to the SB. And maybe Detroit offered more $$. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Nonsense Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 18 minutes ago, oldskoolfan said: I guess this isn't as attractive of a job as people thought. Its going to take a long time to wipe the **** stain Snyder left behind. I don't think the previous 20 plus years of Dan Snyder has anything to do with it. I would hope NFL coaching candidates would be smarter than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some would think they would stayed and tried to hammer out a deal before flying back to Seattle. Hopefully, they are on the phone with Quinn working out a deal. What boxes does Quinn check for people advocating for him? Atlanta sharply went downhill as soon as Kyle Shanahan left for SF andnd his defenses have gotten lit up when it counts the most while at Dallas. Why the F would you think he is the guy to help rebuild the franchise post Dan Snyder? None of the remaining candidates scream A+ hire. Mcdonald shine wore off a little bit, Quinn is a bad retread, Slowick might not be ready, and Aaron Glenn is an unimpressive DC as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most times, not all times before they left a deal would have been leaked and the public would have known before they left. For example, look at what happened with Schefter on Pat McAffee show yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
