Early NFL offseason chatter

I guess Johnson and Glenn have all the time in the world now to choose their next destination. History has shown even after a game like tonight, that usually doesn't affect interest.

Although if both leave, I think Lions fans are going to have a much bigger pill to swallow. Things tend to go bad for teams that has their staff poached away.

Glenn is almost assuredly gone but I think Johnson may stick around. The options this round aren't great, Chicago obviously being the best. But their search is strange and supposedly Johnson also wants to have a say in the GM.

I do think that if Johnson skips this cycle, he will not be a part of as many coaching searches next season. Eventually you say no enough and people will just skip you.

He's not 60, he's 38 and widely regarded as one of the best offensive minds in the game right now, every team with an opening next year would still want him and put out a feeler to see if there is any interest on his end.

Seeing lots of speculation that Glenn gets the Cowboys job...

But those guys are very flavor of the month, if you skip too many cycles it will eventually get you. Not saying it will happen but it definitely could.

Yeah, that definitely sounds like speculation.

They're only flavors of the month if the offense they run then stops being elite, which I don't see that being the case next year with all the weapons they'll still have there.

The Lions would have to stay healthy on offense and completely tank for him to not be a hot name again next year, can't see it happening.

Most of the serious talk has been referencing Glenn or Kellen Moore.

I don't buy the Deion bullsh-t.

    • Some of the same core from last season are on the Commander’s roster this season. For example, Brian Robinson (RB), Terry McLaurin (WR), Cosmi (RG), Wylie (RT), Allen (DT) and Payne (DT), Wagner (LB) and Martin (S). There’s other carryover too. So they were never a roster devoid of talent, it was more a case they didn’t have a QB and one could argue they were not well coached. If they had this coaching staff and Jayden Daniels on their 2023 roster, then they would have had more than 4 wins. So quick turnarounds can happen if a team drafts well and has a good coaching staff.
    • Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott left in 2017, that was prior to Tepper buying the team. So we can’t blame Tepper for not firing the existing staff and promoting them. Scott Fitterer was hired by Tepper to become our GM. So the timeline doesn’t fit for his inclusion in the hypothetical front office with Brandon Beane. Could Jerry Richardson have acted after the 2016 season to fire Rivera and Gettleman? Perhaps, but usually a recent Super Bowl appearance and near perfect season (15-1) will give a head coach and GM extra time. Rivera survived and we bounced back (11-5), while Gettleman was fired months after the draft in July. By that point Beane had already left in May to replace Buffalo’s GM. In hindsight Richardson should have acted sooner if he planned to get rid of Gettleman, but something must have occurred to force Richardon’s hand to act at such an odd time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but there’s no guarantee things would have turned out differently under McDermott and Beane. A lot would have been dependent on Cam Newton’s health and production because we wouldn’t have been showing him the door. It does make you wonder of what could have been, but as dominant as the Bills have become under Allen, McDermott and McDermott, they have yet to make and win a Super Bowl. At least we did under Newton, Rivera and Gettleman. It’s just their ending was like Delhomme and co, it ended with defeat in the Super Bowl and eventual winding down and clearing out of the team that got there. 
    • Bryce Young tied for second in the NFL this season in rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks. That’s a statistic that speaks to his much-needed increased willingness to run the ball. It’s an important part of what made Young more successful this year.
