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.

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
