If Tepper is "enamored" then this is already on shaky ground

Its going to be Johnson unless he absolutely shits the bed in his interview. 

Young, offensive guru, local guy, etc.  It's Tepper's supposed dream hire. If Wilks hadn't become the emotional favorite in the media, I think there would already be a lot more smoke out there than what's now being said this weekend. 

Staff he assembles will be interesting, especially when the locker room might have to be convinced after Wilks isn't the choice. Maybe we get lucky and Johnson's connection to Kuechly can convince him to come on board in some capacity. 

I am concerned that most of Tepper's dreams have been Panther fan nightmares. 

Also concerned about him jumping the shark again.

I like the guy too....I do.....but please don't fuging fixate again.

Im with it, and this the type hire that gives me confidence in drafting anybody at QB because we have a coach that can really develop a offense and get production. 

Gives me McVay and kyle Shanahan vibes.

Exactly what I said in the other thread and got poo on by a few posters @TheCasillasnamely. Tepper is the most predictable and incompetent owner ever. He’s making the exact same mistake he made with Rhule by fawning over the hot candidate. I doubt anyone else is even being seriously considered and it’s just window dressing. 

The difference is Johnson has been in various coaching roles in the NFL, working his way up, for the past decade.

[Krovvy]

Also, if anyone could bring Luke Kuechly back into the fold, it's probably coach Johnson.

the franchise's first offensive head coach.... what a seismic shift

[Mr. Scot]

Seems to be a pretty common sentiment...

What he has done this year with the Lions is super impressive. Remember they have Goff as their QB. One can argue he got a lot more out if Goff than McVay ever got. He’s only done it for a year, but in that one year he’s the most impressive OC in my opinion.

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm definitely not opposed to this. But I also remember the outcome the last time David Tepper was enamored with a head coaching candidate.

[Jay Roosevelt]

I'd prefer Steichen, but Johnson is good too.

People hating on Ben for only having one year of coordinator experience, here are some of today's HCs that similar or even less experience:

Zac Taylor - never was a coordinator; been to a SB

Kevin Stefanski - one year as a full time OC; took Browns to playoffs got their first playoff win since 2002

Mike McDaniel - one year as 49ers OC; have Phins in playoffs in his first season

Matt LaFleur - two years as an OC (one year each with Rams and Titans); had 3 straight 13 win seasons
