Johnson staying in Detroit

[Proudiddy]

Again, I didn't really have a favorite either way.  I just knew I wanted a OC or offensive-oriented coach with a track record of great playcalling/scheme design, and preferably a younger guy, but that's not a deal breaker.

It's sounding more and more like we essentially already have a handshake agreement in place with Payton.  I know officially they shouldn't have even negotiated or anything, but that's like believing tampering doesn't happen every offseason.

Whatever the deal is, I just know we desperately need to get this one right this time.  Probably the most important coaching hire in our history and it's going to determine a lot about Tepper if it hasn't been already.

This tells me he wasn’t ready mentally for a head coach job or all in. Glad he figured it out now before we interviewed him.

Wasn't really excited over Johnson.  

If we're going with a first time HC, I'd prefer Steichen.

Your take on Johnson is incredibly stupid.

What about your takes on Nathaniel Hackett? You were practically drooling at the mouth over him last offseason.

And he didn't do any of the things I expected him to. C'est la vie.

Your take on Johnson is still incredibly stupid

My guess is he interviewed this week and his experience was brought up or he didn’t interview well and decided to go back. 
 

Need to see more out of him than one season. 
 

On to Steichen and Payton

This is a very true possibility. It’s all gonna be speculation until something comes out but a number of coaches use interview experience looking to be hired 2-3 years down the road.

If it comes down to him, Payton, or Wilks, I will drive to Philly and help him move personally.

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.

[TLGPanthersFan]

Didn’t even get to the interview. Wonder what changed?
