Once the reporter doubled down, I began to doubt that it was made-up. IIRC it was Josina Anderson. In any event, I'm glad that the  Panthers and Tepper pivoted away from Johnson.

I don't doubt that his agent set a high price tag. I heavily doubt that it was what Anderson said it was since the agent himself denied it publicly.

With that made public, would have been pretty tough for him to go into an owner's meeting and say "just kidding, that's the price".

You think if Johnson became available for an OC job, teams wouldn't step on people to hire him?

Hell, every team in the league has changed OCs in the last few years.

A few teams with openings may be interested but no I do not think half the league would be firing people just to have a chance at him. That is absurd. He's done pretty well with Detroit but they've also had arguably the most offensive talent in the league the last couple years and Campbell's offensive acumen is overlooked and certainly plays a large part in their success. He's not just a meathead hype/rah rah guy. Worked closely with Sean Payton in NO as assistant HC and surely brought a lot of that with him to Detroit.

Gonna disagree with you on this one.

He pulled out of Carolina and Washington, probably the two worst organizarions in the league. 
 

Obviously there’s hope in in DC but for now they are what they are. I don’t think anyone can fault him for steering clear of Carolina. 
 

As far as the commanders, pairing an air raid offensive coordinator with a defensive minded head coach seems like a recipe to be looking for one or both next season. 

Last year he pulled out of all interviews. Not just Carolina.

ok and we'll likely never find out as he's not leaving Detroit for a different OC role

Probably not. It'd likely only be plausible in some weird scenario where Campbell got fired and Johnson wasn't under contract.

That scenario itself isn't especially plausible.

(but this was all purely hypothetical anyway)

It's only a "dodged bullet" if Canales is successful.

That's a question that won't be answered for a while.

That’s fair. It’ll also be interesting to see how Johnson does as HC IF he ever takes that step. We can all name some GREAT coordinators who never successfully made that next step.

I wish more coordinators had the self awareness to know what they’re good at and stick with it.  Kudos to Ben.   

He seems to be struggling with this awareness quite a bit.

He's been the most desired coach for the last 2 years. He didn't just pass on the commanders and the Panthers.  He's passed on most of the teams in the NFL at this point. 

Sounds like he doesn't want a HC gig/doesn't interview well/is happy where he is. 

I never bought into his hype.  

Not upset at all that he's not here. 

It's important to want somebody that wants to be here, or it's going to fail anyways.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
