Kafka was being groomed for the OC (and eventually the HC) role in Kansas City, but Bieniemy couldn't nail a HC interview so Kafka got sick of waiting and struck out to prove himself.

He's very, very highly thought of around the league.

then he should get hired in the coaching cycle. Not sure where he will land but looking forward to it.

[Mr. Scot]

The Panthers had already requested an interview with Kafka prior to this weekend, but I've yet to see any definitive scheduling note.

Others are now signing on...

No logistical issues?

It must be known that we have already made a decision on the next HC or that we are not goin to go DC for HC unless its Wilks.

Ben Johnson gives me Adam Gase vibes

Ben Johnson didnt have Payton Manning to help catapult his career.  Anything specific about BJ that gives you these vibes? Any specific interviews you watched that they have the same mannerisms? Their offenses are nowhere near alike.

Having Fangio back in the QC would be wild after all these years.  He was a "young gun" DC when he was under Dom.

See I told you he was coming out 

You jinxed it to work out in our favor. Well done.

Pure speculation but I do wonder how an interview with someone like Manuel goes given there's no official signed-HC. 

Rather than a Johnson pairing, we did already interview Shane.  Wonder if he's Steichen's preferred DC and we wanted to chat with him after a good interview.  

There's so many freaking candidates at all levels now, it's pretty wild.  And nothing finalized for any club.  It's a coaching interview circuit wild west.

Yeah. there's no real similarities between those two that I can see.

Well for one, unrelated but Gase was also 36 when he got his first HC role.
 

Both came out of the NFCN. 

Both were various position coaches before becoming OCs.

Johnson was OC for 1 year.

Gase was technically OC for 2 years in Denver (but Manning was there so he was the real OC) then 1 year OC in Chicago. 
 

Both were/are being talked about as hot-poo OCs that are/were going to innovate the game.

I agree, their offense is different. Johnson’s is much less complex than what Gase ran. 
 

Also, what team that Johnson has been apart of (ever) had success in the NFL?
