Not who I was thinking, but that's apropos, and amusing.

Not defending Hackett as a HC at all, but damn if he wasn't behind the 8 ball with RW imploding at QB.

Well...guess Carolina was not his dream job.  He must have gotten a big raise to stay with the Lions.  But, who in the hell wants to live in Detroit any longer than they have too?

This HC search keeps getting more and more weird

I was nervous about Johnson. Just not much of a resume. Steichen has a better one IMO, though not by a ton.

It might be, but as an adult you still have to make what you feel is the best decision.

Word is he thinks they're building "something special" up there with Campbell and crew.

You put enough zeroes at the end of a check I’ll stay anywhere…within reason.

Wow...all of the media hype was pointing to Johnson too. Gotta be Payton at this point. I doubt Johnson would back out up against Steichen. 

I also think we've almost equaled the number of coaches that backed out versus ones that have formally interviewed....

Ryans, Mayo, Johnson backed out. 

It's in the tea leaves..... Fangio, DC interviews, Johnson backing out. We just better hope there's no tampering involved in relation to the Rooney rule. 

I think you got the same thoughts as me....seek help..

 

It does suddenly feel like payton put his tongue into teppers brain. 

If it is payton, I bet hes the new highest paid. 

why god, why?!?!

Kinda feels like “We are bringing the crew back” after a failed Super Bowl run only for that same crew to go 7-10 and miss the playoffs.

I'll say this as a high school coach. I transferred schools to become the new head football coach at a bottom feeder school - I knew nobody on the staff and had to build the staff from the ground up. Even doing that at the high school level is very intimidating and challenging. I commend Ben Johnson on not taking a cash grab and doing what probably is more comfortable and will probably be more successful (at least next year) in Detroit.

Similar thoughts from Mike Kaye...

Ed Dodds his previously said that he won't take a GM job until he feels like it's absolutely the right one.

I don’t understand this. Has he interviewed terribly or something? There’s no way he’s going back to be the OC in Detroit just for fun when he has HC offers 

He only took over play calling this year. Not a fan, but compared to sean payton, who I thought is either the best or lock top 4. 

He may not have the good coaching staff either. Just spit ballin.
