Ben Johnson for HC or bust

He declined to interview last season because he wanted another year under his belt and saw the special season Detroit was poised to have.

 

He is the type of coach we need.  Young, exciting, and pushing cutting edge plays that are required in today's NFL.

I wanted Steichen last year.   Can't settle for a "safe choice" like Reich.

I disagree with anybody thinking that Carolina is going to struggle having candidates interview.  It's the NFL.   These guys are competitive and think they can turn it around.  

I think it actually speaks to growth that Tepper swallowed his ego and admitted he made a bad hire.  Tepper needs to fire Fitterer too and bring in a tandem that are aligned.    

 

But Johnson is who I want us to spend every penny we can on.    Would love Evero with him but I think that's a pipe dream.

Pretty sure he interviewed with Houston and Indy. Only declined to interview here. "Pulled himself from consideration" for the other jobs and said it was because he wanted to stay in Detroit and continue to build another year but everyone knows his agent had already gotten word that he wasn't going to get either of those jobs. The last 10 months certainly won't help us convince him to interview this go around.

If Evero won't even take the interim job after what he's seen I put the odds of Ben Johnson wanting anything to do with this trainwreck and ownership at about 5%. What has transpired here will only further cement his instincts earlier in the year when he declined us.

I get the pessimism.  It's deserved.

I am choosing to be hopeful because it beats feeling that the future is lost already.   

 

Evero didn't want to be the interim in Denver and didn't hear.  I don't think it's a "situation" thing but more that he just doesn't want to complicate his life.  He has made a name for himself as a DC and interim tag may impact him.

 

I think Johnson will strongly consider.   And although we hate Tepper, I don't know that most coaches will view him in the same light that we do as fans.

Evero declined the interim job with the Broncos last year. He doesn't want an interim job anywhere and I don't blame him.

I assume he knows full well the odds of interim coaches succeeding in the NFL. He will get a legitimate shot sooner or later.

Dude ain’t coming here if he’s got options. I think the “who would wanna come here?!?!” angle is probably overblown, there’s only 32 of these jobs and Dave tepper has lots of money.

but yeah, no, this is the one guy where I’m like “no he definitely isn’t”
