Would love nothing more than to see news tomorrow that Johnson is the guy. Not sure if it can happen that quickly but man, I’m ready to get our guy and get running.

I'm fairly certain we still need another Rooney interview before we can officially hire anyone.

Just not big on Ben Johnson. I think he did a great job in his 1st year (only) as coordinator. But handing him a football team isn’t smart. Like I said yesterday he gives me Adam Gase vibes.

HCs he has worked under: Joe Philbin (3.5 years), Adam Gase (3 years), Brian Flores (1 year), Matt Patricia (1 year), Dan Campbell (2.5 years).
 

Has only been on a team that went to the playoffs once, and got smoked. He had been on a ton of losing teams. 

He is just the hot thing at the moment, remember when Leftwich was the next hot commodity for HC and a year or two later he is canned. 

I don't understand why this is a knock on Johnson. Sean McVay worked under (a washed) Mike Shanahan for 4 years and Jay Gruden for 3 years, went to the playoffs twice, and Washington lost both of those games by double digits at home. Safe to say that didn't affect how McVay performed in the regular season/playoffs.

It isn't.

Okay Sean McVay did. Who else did?

This league has went crazy trying to find another Sean McVay. 
 

Sean McVay is a good offensive coordinator that just happened to have a stellar defense and a front offense that sold the farm to win a SB and they are feeling the pain now. 
 

What if there isn’t another McVay, just like there isn’t another Belichick.

And retread HCs are no more successful than first time HCs either. All HC hires are a crapshoot:

Because us as a starved fanbase are so eager to have an offensive minded coach that we are willing to hire a FIRST YEAR offensive coordinator from the LIONS who worked under GASE, and has 10+ years of being on losing seasons. 
 

Nobody sees any red flags here because “He’s from the Carolinas” and might be the next “Sean McVay”.

How many fugging “next Sean McVays” has there been now??

I clearly remember Mr. Scot and everyone else hyping up Nathaniel Hackett last year and that went straight in the shitter. 
 

I guess in two years when we have the 10th ranked offense and 32nd ranked defense with consecutive 4-13 seasons we will find the “Next Sean McVay” then.

I’m not saying a retread is our solution necessarily. I mean hell, Belichick and Dungy were retreads and went on to win SBs. 
 

I just would rather have a coordinator than ran an offense longer than a year or somebody who has been a part of a successful team and not bounced around different positions on sub-500 teams for the duration of their career. 
 

I wouldn’t mind Steichen or Kafka. Steichen showed success in LA and now in Philly. Kafka spent time with Reid and the Chiefs. Meanwhile Johnson is hanging out with Adam Gase and Matt Patricia accomplishing Jack Dick.

[Cdparr7]

And what connections is Johnson going to have to build his staff? Other guys that have been on all these miserable teams?

Kevin Croyle? Mark Brunell?

 

[Kentucky Panther]

I’d be fine with Steichen. He’s just not my favorite.

Has Wilks interviewed with any other teams for HC?

A lot of the former Miami staff and connects helped build the current Bengals squad.
