EVERY single one of us with an IQ > 10 WANTED Ben Johnson, DID NOT WANT Bryce Young

IDK that I would call 4-7 a career resurrection.....

He's getting a fair amount of praise.

But more to the point, he's not working for David Tepper.

I'd imagine that feels a whole lot like rolling away the stone and escaping the tomb

Quite a few people here were interested in Steichen. The Panthers held an interview with him over Zoom because he was still coaching in the playoffs at the time. The excuse from our org was that he didn't interview well. We even had Vrabel scheduled for an interview too. But Tepper was his usual impatient and impulsive self and rushed into hiring Reich and then became hyper focused on drafting "his guy" Bryce Young. Honestly it probably didn't matter who we hired it was always going to end badly because of the Tepper's.

Steichen was one of two or three young up and coming coaches whose interviews here were quickly dismissed.

Yeah I neglected to mention the other stuff foisted on Reich. 

FWIW, Reich was replaced at Stanford today or yesterday.

My understanding was that he was an interim coach for the guy fired this past spring.

That's what they were saying about Nick Sirianni about 2 seasons ago.

He also has a .700 winning percentage.

People also called Dan Campbell a lunatic upon his hiring.

Yeah but Sirianni is more of a dufus. I think Johnson is ridiculously arrogant and not in the good way. Have you seen his post game speeches where he acts like Nic Cage in gone in 60 seconds? He is super cringe. With the way he acts, if they were 3-9 instead of 9-3, he’d be fired by now.

Sirianni had some insanely cringey post game interactions his first 2-3 seasons. It was insane stuff. I would say nothing Johnson has done so far would make a top 5 Sirianni moment.

Johnson does give some Lane Kiffin vibes, though. I will give you that.

Yeah that’s why  said ‘replaced’ not fired.  
 

I thought it was supposed to be for the entire season, maybe their season is over? Haven’t looked don’t care. 
 

And I was seeing where Reich was being considered to stay on so was a little surprised.
