Ben Johnson Staying in Detroit


Recommended Posts

Thank jeebus.

 

He obviously wants to work with Josh Allen. That's our 2025 coach right there after mcdoormat blows another playoff game next season.

 

🤞

Man I would have been so happy to have this guy as HC instead of just running it back with the same staff. He's clearly being very picky because Washington seems like a decent spot with the #2 pick and new ownership. Buffalo would probably be a dream job for him.

Him, BB, and Vrabel are still on the board.

 

Tell mclap Super Bowl next year or you’re fired immediately after the last game when the zeroes hit the clock.

That'll really suck if they don't make the playoffs! 😁

I’m not at all surprised, smart man. 

 

I don't know...

 

As far as re-builds are concerned I'm not sure you can be better set up for a HC gig then they are currently in Washington. #2 overall pick in a QB rich Draft... New management that is pretty fired up... The most cap space in the NFL  going into 2024...They pick 2nd, 36th, 40th, 67th, 100th, 102nd, 137th, 180th, 219th... They already have McLaurin and Dotson... They have a decent running game. 

 

I mean.... They need work, but they are also set up pretty well. Compare that situation to some of the other openings this off season. There are no guarantees in the future.

McDermott is here for the entirety of Josh Allen's career, so anyone thinking of Johnson coming here as HC should do themselves a favor and forget about it. 

 

He is as secure as any coach in the NFL. There's literally nothing other than a total collapse and missing the playoffs 2 years in a row that would even put him in danger of being fired.

Waiting for the right shot maybe wouldn't be a bad decision.

Plus he is going back to a young and loaded team. So his stock will remain up, he may. "finish the story" then move on to bigger and better opportunities.  Smart choice given the options

I get what he's doing, and it makes some sense. But remember when Brian Schottenheimer was too good to even interview for the Bills HC gig because he was such a hot HC candidate and had so many options?

 

That was actually my first thought.

 

I think Johnson is a little hotter of a candidate but if the Lions regress next year those flames can cool.

Thought he would end up with Washington. But one of the hottest names for HC is staying out.

Perfect-  the dream of hiring him as our HC is still alive.  Another season without appearance should end with a pairing of Allen and Johnson

If I was the hottest HC candidate in the league, I'd spend another year burnishing my resume with that Detroit offense rather than go to a team with no QB, too.

Guys like Johnson have the luxury of waiting for the perfect opportunity. No need to jump at the first jobs that come available, especially if one of them involves being employed by the Washington Commanders.

So, your perfect dream involves the Bills NOT winning the Super Bowl next year. Got it.

 

Also, allow me to be the first one to pee in everyone's Cheerios for next year. Barring a 5 or 6 win season or the complete loss of the locker room, Sean McDermott isn't going anywhere in 2025. So which of those are you rooting for?

There is a world where Bills could have multiple top 5 OCs to choose from next year if they don’t bring a trophy home and part ways with McD.

If they make the conference championship game and lose to the Chiefs I have no doubt in my mind Terry will see that as an improvement and bring McDermott back.

I very much doubt anyone is waiting for the bills hc job specifically to open up to get a promotion lol. I mean it might work out that way for him but I’m sure he’s not counting on it 

 

he’s probably gambling that at least one guy on a pretty long list of good teams will fire their coach

I'd have seriously considered the Commanders.  They have the 2nd overall pick, $83M in cap room and new ownership.

Could be Houston Texans 2.0 if they get the right HC/OC as assuming they'll be drafting Drake Maye.
