Not sure if his asking price was too high but Ben Johnson staying in Detroit for another year as OC

I applaud this guy. He thinks there's something special in Detroit and he wants to keep being a part of it and may feel like he's not ready to be the head guy. Both are admirable.Originally posted by Bolt4Knob View PostComment

Also maybe he just likes being the OC and a job like WTF with a rookie HC would be a tough jobOriginally posted by jamrock View Post
Agree about his self-awareness in his roleComment

Makes sense. At the same time I'm surprised he didn't jump on the Washington job. Second overall pick, top 5 pick in every round. Maybe he was only interested in the Chargers job and when Harbaugh took it he decided he didn't like any of the other openings.Originally posted by Bolt4Knob View PostComment

This could be a combination of things, first he loves his team and is enjoying working with that offensive line and those skill players plus Goff...also he may feel that they have some unfinished business in Detroit and he wants to be there for it...Originally posted by Bolt4Knob View Post
also this could mean that he's willing to hold out for a better option, like perhaps there may be a better QB situation elsewhere next year than what the commanders have...heck, the prospect of potentially coaching someone like mahomes or hurts or prescott etc...next year there could be some teams with more attractive QB situations looking for someone like Ben Johnson..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

I told you guys so...he will eventually land a DC job somewhere. Being a head coach is not an easy thing especially when most of your top players are on IR. At least Staley has graduated from pampers to pull up Huggies (unlike Moore).Originally posted by Bolt-O View Post

Man getting an NFL HC position is an excellent gig. Even if you fail you'll eventually be hired as a coordinator somewhere.Originally posted by gzubeck View Post

edit: Staley is still gonna get paid a cool mill per year probably.Comment

Totally called Johnson returning to the Lions...very smart man. Some special stuff going on up there...but Washington and Seattle? Meh...
Might have some big opportunities next year, too...Dallas, Bills, maybe....Chiefs, if Reid hangs it up...
Bet he woulda taken the Chargers job, though...
Adopted Bolt: Kimani Vidal RB
Final prediction: Latham OT, Colson LB, Sainristil CB,Rice WR, Zinter OG, Nourzad OC, MacLachlan TE, Vidal RB, Lovett DT

staley is going to make 4 mil next year no matter what...the chargers still owe him 4 mil on his HC contract...whatever he gets paid by the Rams is not going to add a single extra red cent to his pocketbook...if the rams pay him a mil that just means that the chargers cover the difference on the 4 mil...the chargers are happy these guys are getting hired elsewhere because it reduces their liability, Staley and Moore where their highest paid coaches so this puts money back in Deans pocket to help pay for the new hires...Originally posted by AK47 View Post"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

I'm not finding it online but I heard that Ben Johnson confirmed that he decided to stay partly because it was Chargers or no one else.
if anyone finds that, please post.
thanks.
