Johnson is the run game coordinator in Philly. So it’s the same issue but the inverse of what you are describing. We have Staley here for the run game coordinating… we need someone with a pass design background now. 
 

Of the three main rumored options… 2 out of the 3 are passing centric coaches. I don’t think Johnson is coming here with Staley in place.

Johnson is the QB coach, a former QB himself and was OC at Florida for the 2020 season. Dunno where you got the run game thing from

Okay, so I read the full article. Person doesn't talk about any options other than Brian Johnson and Jim Bob Cooter.

Pretty sure those are not the only two options.

 

given that the Rooney Rule applies to coordinator hires these days, they can't be the only two by rule.

Don't feel too good about this Cooter guy. I'd much rather go with the younger talent in Philly

Cooter’s offenses were characterized by a lot of passing and not much in the way of a run game. The Lions ranked ninth, 11th and sixth in passing offense in Cooter’s first three seasons but were 32nd, 30th and 32nd in rushing over the same span. Cooter’s game plans resulted in 1,000-yard receiving seasons for Golden Tate and Marvin Jones, but Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford took a beating. Stafford was sacked an average of 42 times while Cooter was the Lions’ offensive coordinator, including a career-high 47 in 2017.

Idk, I think that characterization of his offence is unfair.. It was done out of necessity rather than philosophically. Personnel matters, and Detroit's o-line could not get push. I wouldn't dismiss him as a candidate due to their struggles running the ball.

    • I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.
    • I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
