Johnson is the run game coordinator in Philly. So it’s the same issue but the inverse of what you are describing. We have Staley here for the run game coordinating… we need someone with a pass design background now. 
 

Of the three main rumored options… 2 out of the 3 are passing centric coaches. I don’t think Johnson is coming here with Staley in place.

Johnson is the QB coach, a former QB himself and was OC at Florida for the 2020 season. Dunno where you got the run game thing from

So did Johnson coach AR? 

[Mr. Scot]

Okay, so I read the full article. Person doesn't talk about any options other than Brian Johnson and Jim Bob Cooter.

Pretty sure those are not the only two options.

Technically yes for 2020. I think Trask was the Starter, AR only had 2 passing attempts that year 1 td 1 int lol.

given that the Rooney Rule applies to coordinator hires these days, they can't be the only two by rule.

I wonder if they hire Johnson, will they try and draft AR?

Don't feel too good about this Cooter guy. I'd much rather go with the younger talent in Philly

Cooter’s offenses were characterized by a lot of passing and not much in the way of a run game. The Lions ranked ninth, 11th and sixth in passing offense in Cooter’s first three seasons but were 32nd, 30th and 32nd in rushing over the same span. Cooter’s game plans resulted in 1,000-yard receiving seasons for Golden Tate and Marvin Jones, but Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford took a beating. Stafford was sacked an average of 42 times while Cooter was the Lions’ offensive coordinator, including a career-high 47 in 2017.

Idk, I think that characterization of his offence is unfair.. It was done out of necessity rather than philosophically. Personnel matters, and Detroit's o-line could not get push. I wouldn't dismiss him as a candidate due to their struggles running the ball.

Would be stupid if they did. That basically screams Johnson can only coach a running QB. As AR will only ever be that. Tying your OC and QB to one specific niche talent is absurd.

The only way I would feel comfortable drafting AR is if Brian Johnson is the OC

Shaq Leonard went to bat for him recently, let’s hope it happens 

I mean, we had a ton of guys go to bat for Wilks. 

The biggest thing Saturday has going for him might end up being the only thing that actually matters - he's the guy Irsay evidently wants.
