Johnson staying in Detroit

[Aussie Tank]

Not a big fan of this coming out now it’s gives the Saints a little more leverage if Tepper is all in on Payton

Give me Kafka - Andy Reid disciple who made Jones look like a young Aaron Rodgers 

I would be fine with that hire. Again, I would take him over Wilks in a heartbeat.

Its either payton or Wilks

Honestly, what got me started on all this was I was researching previous head coaching cycles and came across a lot of similar hype and things being said about Gase at the time. 

I did some more research and there are similarities regardless of what Mr. Scot says. 

Everytime I bring them up everyone gets defensive without bringing up anymore subject matter.

Your list of similarities included things like "he previously was a position coach".

Pretty much. 

For Johnson to bail on his scheduled in-person interview tomorrow he must know something

Unless he just wants nothing to do with this sh!t show

Sadly it could equally be either option 

[tukafan21]

Really bummed by this and not even because he was the guy I really wanted.

I'd have been happy with him, but ideally if we're not going after Quinn or Ryans (which at this point I don't think we are really), then I wanted a young offensive mind, but really, anyone other than Payton (just can't get on board with giving a first round pick to the Saints).

This only makes it much more likely we go harder after Payton and makes Steichen going to be harder to land as well.

This is what I’m starting to think as well. For better or worse. 

[Soul Rebel]

Wow...all of the media hype was pointing to Johnson too. Gotta be Payton at this point. I doubt Johnson would back out up against Steichen. 

I also think we've almost equaled the number of coaches that backed out versus ones that have formally interviewed....

Ryans, Mayo, Johnson backed out. 

It's in the tea leaves..... Fangio, DC interviews, Johnson backing out. We just better hope there's no tampering involved in relation to the Rooney rule.

Now here comes the 500 million deal to Sean Peyton....

It wont happen I bet but if it does... Huddle goes boom

[Panthercougar68]

Kafka does interest me.

If I was a GM looking to save my job and needed to make a splash hire to buy at least another two years I would go with Payton too.  Closest you can get to a can't miss.

Think Payton want to develop a rookie QB? This would be his first time he had to do something like that. Pretty much the only real question I have about him. 

[flagfootballcoach28]

Give me Payton!

[TLGPanthersFan]

I will do anything for it not to be freaking Wilks. I do not want to watch 17 games of a team run by Rivera Jr.
