Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

[EdmundDorf]

He may have a point

Also gotta wonder if the interviews kinda bombed. Harris and Peters stressed how important the interview process was going to be, leadership most important. If Johnson never wanted to leave, why take 2nd intvw, especially after NFC title game loss?

The fact that Ben is staying with Lions tells me HE himself does not think he is ready to be a HC ..and for what it's worth I also thought Johnson was coming here .. but if he wants to stay with Campbell and his coaching style then so be it but if I'm Johnson I'm mad as hell at the stupid going for it on 4th instead of taking points on FG .. if he is ok with that then I don't want him here anyway .. Dan cost them with those Decisions!

I agree with everything you wrote except for the Vrabel part. Vrable is old school all the way and he is not a fit here.

Maybe, but wouldn't he know that already, why take interviews?

Perhaps he's indecisive which should be a disqualification in itself. Anyway, he's out. I really don't want a retread. Perhaps Macdonald or Slowik will fill the bill.

He's the past now, but still interesting

So Ben Johnson let Washington know he was out of the running while the team was flying to meet him, source tells me. That is going to look BAD if/when he wants more head coaching interviews next year or beyond.

He may have been on the fence and got cold feet at the 11th hour. Regardless, he's not of the running. I'd now prefer Macdonald for our vacancy.

and what happens if he doesn,t win a super bowl next year? i agree they have a legit title contender but that doesn,t mean he will so then what?thats a lousy excuse if you really think about it

Ben Johnson informed the Commanders and Seahawks today. The reason, I’m told: He wants to win a Super Bowl.

That sentence has a lot less sting if his intent was "for Detroit" which I think it was. Imagine our fan base on the verge of a SB and the OC leaves for a HC job after a devastating loss. We would pe pissed.

So I have no anger toward Johnson. Of course I wanted Macdonald so if we don't sign him I may be more mad at Johnson.

Not buying the excuse of him wanting to win a SB. Situation is a little odd to say the least.

It's been less than 48 hours since the devastating loss I think most rational adults might take a few minutes of reflection before making a life changing decision, But it doesn't seem like he had that option because the teams (plural) requested second interviews as soon as it was possible

he could be a josh McDaniel's

everything about ben was his potential as a HC; he has never been one

still confused why they don't give Mike V a look

Where did he say he doesn’t feel like he can do the job? That was last time around. Said he wants another crack at the Lombardi in Detroit.

This is fucking devastating. What about Slowick? Has he commited anywhere? He is the only other guy I would be as happy about.

Im shocked at this news. Damn.

[punch it in]

Apparently was asking for a lot of money too. Maybe sensed he wasn’t going to get it and figured another year might get him his asking price?

Well, go fuck yourself Ben you greedy little bitch. I hope Detroit has the worst offense in the league next year and he never gets another interview. LOL.

I always wanted Slowik anyway.


Slowick
MacDonald
Glenn
Weaver
Quinn

It will be one of them. That is my order of preference.

It is bologna. He wants big money. He wasn’t getting it year one. At 37 he can wait another year.

Slowik is the guy now. It is all about the fact that we are drafting a quarterback and Slowik or BJ would be perfect. Also people saying if you want EB gone it should be Slowik. Keep that in mind.

He didn’t say it , his actions showed it

Head Coach of your own nfl team > winning a SB as a coordinator

Basically he wants to be EB but without the balls to take the next step ; at least EB is willing to stick his neck out and risk the HC position

Ben is just Josh McDaniels 2.0 ; don’t go around saying you want something then pussy out at the bitter end

Fuck Ben Johnson ; go hire a leader with balls
