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.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
