Odd sense of catharsis

We have no idea why he withdrew. Wouldn’t be the first time a potential HC decided to go back for another year. 
I very much doubt he decided to not interview again because of Tepper. Remember he canceled all his remaining interviews and decided to return to the Lions. 

I don't think his withdrawal had anything to do with us.

That said, it's pretty hard to debate that we look a lot worse this year than we did last year.

I’m slightly intrigued by Frank Smith. Dynamic play caller of one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, with a QB of similar pedigree and physical limitations and experience coaching different offensive units in New Orleans and Los Angeles Chargers. Worked his way up through the ranks and certainly earned his stripes. He’d be worth looking at for sure. 

He doesn't call plays. 

Frank Smith is a growing myth around these parts.  He has had kind of a meandering career until McDaniel poached him.  Very young into his OC career and isn't even a full-on OC.

Yes we do.  He came right out and said why.  FWIW he withdrew from ALL HC opportunities.  He was in for a number of them and likely would have gotten at least one offer.

"You know what, there are so many things going on here, so many good people, coaches, players. I love the offensive staff, everyone we have on board there. I love the players. I love coming in to work everyday. Coach Campbell is incredible. So, end of the day, talking with my family, it just made sense. It made sense, don't ruin a good thing."

If we do get Ben Johnson it would not surprise me in the slightest if he absolutely sucks.

I was thinking earlier today that he's certainly not a guarantee to be good, much less great. If we were to land him, I wouldn't exactly be doing cartwheels. He'd be a wait-and-see proposition.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
