Eminem probably rapped for him and got him to stay. 

Heard he changed "Mom's spaghetti" to "Ben's spaghetti".

What better opportunity does Johnson think he is going to get?  Top 2 pick. New owners.  New stadium.  Adam Peter's.  Rabid fanbase potentially.   

 

This just seems really odd.

Would be funny if Dallas DC Quinn becomes HC in Washington….

And then former Washington HC Rivera becomes DC in Dallas.

Bitter rivals swapping coaches.

Maybe…he is happy where he is…doing what he does…for who he does it for

i said the same in another thread a few weeks ago

not sure he has the personality for a HC either and he may have personal considerations 

it is more than possible to have a long, lucrative career as a coordinator  without the spotlight, aggravation and pressure of a HC

not everyone is cutout for the belly of the beast NFL HCs endure

That’s fine if true, but he needs to stop wasting everybody’s time with the interviews tbh.

Maybe he was interviewing thinking the Lions were going to win the SB and he'd have a ring before moving on to start the next phase of his career. Staying in Detroit gives him a really good shot again next year, far sooner than he would have building from the ground up in another franchise.

It is a tough division to win.

Maybe Washington is pissed because he turned them down and are now leaking "rumors".

Man if we waited and this happened to us again this place would be going crazy.

I mean, if I were on a plane flying to meet some guy at his convenience and mid-flight he goes "nah, I'm good", I'd be pretty pissed.

Looks like Steve Smith's comments about Johnson not interviewing well from last off-season are true.

I feel really good about Canales now, compared to the other offensive-minded candidates.

Yeah seems flaky if true...

Maybe Campbell actually has Johnson believing in him. Who knows. I respect Johnson wanting to see this through but timing seems to suggest it was decided before the outcome of the game which is surprising

Fans make a bigger deal out of things like draft picks being high than I suspect coaching candidates... Seattle is in many ways a more attractive job, better roster etc.

Johnson is a good coach and I suspect he'll have equal or better opportunities in the future.
