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.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
