He has the X's and O's down it's all about his vision for the team his staff and how he will reshape this roster into a real offense capable of making the playoffs. If we hire him or Steichen it's a gamble like anything else but it's time we tried a new path.

After listening to the Athletic's pod on this year's coaching crop, I'm re-convinced Steichen is legit along with Ben.  

Both sound just about as ideal of candidates as you want.  Would highly recommend people check that out.  Easy to listen to in the background while working haha

Comments about Johnson from Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell via Aaron Wilson's story about his Texans interview (Link)

“I think a ton of Ben,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said during a press conference. “I’ve said it before, I just think he’s extremely bright. He’s creative, he’s organized, he’s a great communicator. I mean he’s got it, and I would do anything I can to help him. That’s the bottom line. Of course, I don’t want to lose him, but I’m not going to hold him back either. I would help him any way I can help him.”

...

“Johnson is impressive, very sharp,” a source said. “He’s done a very nice job with that offense.”

...

Johnson came to Detroit in 2019, as an offensive quality control coach, and was heavily involved in the passing game. He has worked with Campbell previously with the Dolphins.

“I think Ben’s a rock star, man,” Campbell said. “He’s a young guy, but he’s kind of gone a little longer, harder road to get to where he’s at. He’s been around some really good coaches, now, some guys who have coached some pretty good quarterbacks. He understands quarterback play well.”

Pelissero talks about Johnson and the Panthers about 1:20 in and mentions the "dream job" angle...

I would guess he's speculating but it's certainly reasonable 🤔

I want to keep hearing this type stuff, and I also want to hear “introducing your Carolina Panthers new head coach : Ben Johnson”

2023 they can cut him and save over $20.5M. Though idk if they're going to be confident with rolling out a QB drafted at #18 😮

The Lions would be absolute morons to cut Goff after this past season. He actually has trade value. I dont think this is the draft to go get a QB with a high round pick, but if they do... they arent gonna let go of Goff. I mean i say this with certainty bc its just not smart, but who knows....

I've come to expect nothing but pure and utter chaos during the NFL offseason when it comes to decision-making whether it be players, coaches, or executives.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By SCO96 · Posted

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
