One thing for sure: If he ever becomes a free agent, he'll have half the teams in the league lining up to pay him.

16 teams lining up to pay him? based on what lol, we don't even know if he's gotten a single offer.

The "Ben Johnson wanted nothing to do with Washington and Carolina" Crowd is truly quite weird... 

A week before his playoff game he was giddy like a little school girl talking about Adam Peters.. maybe he just doesn't want a HC gig yet.. and that's fine.  Because honestly, Commanders were looking like a good landing spot in terms of draft capital and cap. The stuff HCs should honestly be concerned with.  I'm not sure what his motivations were in turning down a gig this cycle and I'm sure when/if he does get one he will do well. I'm focused on what we have here.

Seeing as how ole Tepp wanted him so bad its probably a good thing he didn't come here he would look just as bad as his other HC hires... 

Sounds like he not ready for the big chair just yet, when the time is right if ever he will get his shot ..

whenever the huddle offers their takes on HCs I always side with the opposite

remember how excited this board was for Rhule? And (albeit less more so) about Reich?

remember how this board hated the idea of McCarthy (who isn’t great but let’s compare him with what we ended up with)

oh and don’t forget absolutely hating the idea of Reid and his mismanagement of McNabb and how he will fail miserably (I got utterly thrashed here for supporting that idea)

yea…I remember lol

Don't know if that's a "dodged bullet" or not just yet.

Probably also worth noting that some of the quotes in this piece read like damage control on the Commanders part.

"See, he didn't turn us down. We turned HIM down! Yeah...that's right" 😕

Call it whatever we want. Maybe, “Thank God for unanswered prayers.” If some of the scuttlebutt is true, he is not good HEAD coach material.

It's only a "dodged bullet" if Canales is successful.

That's a question that won't be answered for a while.

You think if Johnson became available for an OC job, teams wouldn't step on people to hire him?

Hell, every team in the league has changed OCs in the last few years.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
