Don’t think he will be a head coach since he’s now backed out of the process two years in a row. Owners aren’t going to waste more time on this guy in the next hiring cycle. Plus who even knows if Detroit replicates their success next season.

Literally no one that matters gives a poo about him stiffing the commanders and if he does in Detroit again next year what he’s been doing, he’ll have multiple offers, including probably from the panthers. 
 

the commanders are acting bitch made as hell

If Ben Johnson wants to stay in Detroit and not be a HC then that's fine no one's got an issue with that, but he needs to stop taking all the Head coaching interviews with teams and scheduling 2nd interviews with them only to pull out the day before the interview. If he only just did it once to us last year, then his story is believable, but he's now done it in back-to-back years with Washington and Seattle. The whole thing just seems sketchy and little bit snaky to me. 

Just my opinion but I think that Ben Johnson knows that he doesn't have the personality or the leadership ability to be a HC which is why he keeps pulling out of jobs where he's the obvious Number 1 choice for that team. He knows that despite that red flag teams are so desperate for a young offensive HC that they ignore any and all red flags and offer him the job.

I'm not sure if you meant it this way, but I don't think anyone thinks of themselves like this. "Dude why do you keep trying to give me a job when you see I got all these red flags." I think if he felt he wasn't cut out for a HC job, or didn't want a HC job, he wouldn't be taking the interviews. I think it's more likely he's using some teams to drive up the price for the team he actually wants to coach for. Either that, or he is truly just trying to get a ring with Detroit. Maybe he sees staying as OC is a better chance for a ring than moving to HC now.

I think the guy was just making a business decision.  Throw his name out there and see if anyone wanted to throw a crazy amount of money at him.  It makes sense.  The league could catch up to your offensive schemes at some point and you may get let go etc.  If someone wants to throw a crazy pile of money at you to be a HC it would make sense to jump at that.  I'm guessing no one blew him away so he chose to wait another year.

Maybe he just likes being an OC.  Too often in society everyone expects people to just keep moving up or trying to.  Maybe he's just happy where he is.

I feel you there. Every job that I've had as an adult, my bosses always asked if I wanted to move up. They're glad to have me most days. 😂

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
