Well...guess Carolina was not his dream job.  He must have gotten a big raise to stay with the Lions.  But, who in the hell wants to live in Detroit any longer than they have too?

It might be, but as an adult you still have to make what you feel is the best decision.

Word is he thinks they're building "something special" up there with Campbell and crew.

You put enough zeroes at the end of a check I’ll stay anywhere…within reason.

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. 

I think you got the same thoughts as me....seek help..

 

It does suddenly feel like payton put his tongue into teppers brain. 

If it is payton, I bet hes the new highest paid. 

why god, why?!?!

Kinda feels like “We are bringing the crew back” after a failed Super Bowl run only for that same crew to go 7-10 and miss the playoffs.

I'll say this as a high school coach. I transferred schools to become the new head football coach at a bottom feeder school - I knew nobody on the staff and had to build the staff from the ground up. Even doing that at the high school level is very intimidating and challenging. I commend Ben Johnson on not taking a cash grab and doing what probably is more comfortable and will probably be more successful (at least next year) in Detroit.

Similar thoughts from Mike Kaye...

Ed Dodds his previously said that he won't take a GM job until he feels like it's absolutely the right one.

I don’t understand this. Has he interviewed terribly or something? There’s no way he’s going back to be the OC in Detroit just for fun when he has HC offers 

He only took over play calling this year. Not a fan, but compared to sean payton, who I thought is either the best or lock top 4. 

He may not have the good coaching staff either. Just spit ballin.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
