billsfan89 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Somewhat smart to ask for a high amount of money as the more money a team is giving you the more they have invested in you and the more you have a chance to succeed. But that doesn’t always work out and if your price is too high teams will not give you an offer as you are still just an up and coming coordinator. There are only 32 NFL HC jobs out there so you can’t be too selective either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Smart guy. If you want him, pay him. That kind of money shouldn’t matter for a HC that doesn’t count against the cap imo. If teams want him bad enough, they’ll pay him that. And they will college kids are getting paid millions to play college sports nowadays. Then they transfer and make millions more if they aren’t happy. USC paid Malachi Nelson millions to take classes at USC and watch USC games….. he then said “see ya” and entered the transfer portal. 5 minutes ago, HomeskillitMoorman said: I'd do it.

Idk if it’s just unlucky when I watch them and my perception is skewed but it feels like the lions have a way better oline than the team that ends up hiring Ben Johnson will and when I’ve seen them play that Detroit oline didnt dominate and they get demolished I feel like most OCs in the league would look like a genius with an oline near the top in the nfl Edited December 21, 2023 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Digg? Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Many of you are missing the point. You’re right, he probably won’t get $15 million, but I doubt he even had the intention of actually getting that much. My guess is this is an early negotiating tactic by him and his agent-good chance this will get him more than what he would’ve gotten otherwise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 If I'm a team with an expected vacancy and this report is put out by "his people" this is an immediate red flag to me. For the record, don't care what the rumored demands are. What I would care about is that he is a coach, moving to playoff football and seems concerned with playing with media to jockey for a higher contract with his next team. It's really not the best optics if I'm doing the hiring. And I understand that sometimes agents go rogue and play these games. I'd question if he can't control the agent that works "for him" how could he command control over an entire team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
