I was wrong about it being definite, and wrong about it happening.. but you better believe that this fell apart over $ like I mentioned before the news came out can happen. Nobody was willing to pay him what he wanted that's what this is. My $ is on MM as long as he wants it. Can't assume anymore lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you’re joking, and I don’t think it’s a particularly inspiring hire (and it’s a mistake to try and continue “The Patriot Way” into a new era, they needed a clean break), but their former LB had coached for them for five years lol Fletcher is not even an NFL coach.

Hitman#21 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) 9 hours 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. Yep, got alerted to this a few hours before it dropped. Thought I was being trolled. I was wrong it happens, but one day news will come out how close this actually was. Cutler to WSH status. I am sorry for those whose hopes i got up, just know it was close. Edited January 31 by Hitman#21 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 49 minutes ago, PigskinPhat said: Please, no retreads like Dan Quinn, who got fired from Atl as a HC. We need new blood! He had some great years there and can probably put together a great staff. People in the know -- not blogger boys -- seem to really love him. If the search committee is excited about him, then I'm excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what doesn’t pass the smell test is that it was widely known about Johnson’s money demands. Josina Anderson reported that back during the regular season. Why was this a surprise at this late stage? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgundyBooger Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Please no Quinn or anyone else that’s been exposed long term to the NFL equivalent of Chernobyl (Jerry World). Josh wanted to copy Baltimore, and MacDonald is right there. Pay him. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh8686 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) I prefer the Big Mac but I don’t mind Quinn, especially if his past relationship with Kyle nets him some strong offensive staff. Edited January 31 by Fresh8686 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I wonder if an emerging trend ends up being over paying for OCs to keep them. And if so, if that would actually benefit us. If we can keep a productive OC long enough for them to be elite it kind of nullifies the idea behind hiring and OC-HC just because its strategically relevant to keeping your QB comfortable and in one system forever. Im actually not against a motivator or ceo HC if we can hold onto a productive offense. That’s all that really worries me about going that direction.

MartinC Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 10 hours ago, ThatNFLChick said: I can't believe they found out WHILE THEY WERE ON THE PLANE to meet with Johnson. Anyway It’s a bad look for Johnson that he allowed the ownership and front office group to get on a plane and then pulled out. I think he’s making a mistake passing on a HC opportunity - no guarantee at all the Lions are good next year and the shine can go off quickly. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid, if they suffer some major injuries, it changes the entire season for them and any team. Also, free agency too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Chiefs averaged 21ppg this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma can be brutal......Johnson knew what was happening and ended up being a dick. Pretty sad. I hope he ends up on the pile after next year.

It's only a bad look if they'd already agreed to terms and even then, it really means nothing to anyone outside of Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
