Madmike90 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Well done to the Lions for getting as far as they did…going to be far tougher without Johnson next year that’s for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that there’s an allure of being the head coach, but in a situation like this (young team, Super Bowl window just opening, phenomenal young coordinator), what if the lions offer to make Johnson paid as much as an average head coach to stay on as OC and AHC? His best chance to win a Super Bowl is with the lions and he likely gets more job security in that scenario as well. I get owners are cheap, but it wouldn’t cost against the salary cap and they get to keep continuity with their young and rising team. Outside of status for Johnson, it seems like everyone wins. Idk it’s just something I’ve thought about a bit lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas have done it with Dan Quinn…guess it just depends on the individuals ambition…I mean he could stay but on the other hand he might end up like Ian Cunningham where he turns down a job one year then the next doesn’t get the job everyone thinks he should if the Lions have a down year off the back of this disappointment…you just never know in this league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk it’s just something I’ve thought about a bit lately. It’s a good thought. I have been thinking about it too. Having a very good offensive mind is valuable. Continuity is important. Not just with plays for coach and players, but with knowing the people. You don’t want these guys walking out door as soon as they have a good year. But being a HC comes with different job duties. We have seen very good coordinators make very poor HCs. If you have what you think is a good HC in place and a good OC in place it is worth a lot of money to keep these guys together rather than losing the OC. Belichick was always best with McDaniels. Imagine if Vrabel could have kept LaFluer and so on. Though LaFluer ended up being good HC so use another example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) I fell asleep watching Lions game at half. Remember I watch the games after they are over on gamepass. I was thinking the 49ers could come back. Watched the rest this morning. Brutal for Lions. I still say Purdy is better than a game manager. He makes plays. Still a relative baby QB who had to win a job twice and lost offseason reps to that and injury, people act like he is a 5 year vet. Mahomes is on a different level than everyone else. He has his own tier. Edited January 29 by dll2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 If I was Mahomes and they don’t resign Chris Jones with me giving them a discount I ask for a raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Today I learned Ravens game was rigged because of racism, Taylor Swift and reasons. Was a few bad calls and non calls there always are if watch with a microscope, but the unsportsmanlike calls were well deserved and a probably a few more could have been called. They were also way too hyped to try to get hard hits on Mahomes. He is best player in game. It won’t be tolerated even at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would they be willing to pay and how much would they win? At what point does adding more good coaches no longer help? The 2010s Washington team is an interesting example. Mike Shanahan, Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel, Matt LaFleur, Raheem Morris, Richard Hightower, and Bobby Slowik all on staff. They were mostly bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are different now than in 2010 and you also need extra responsibility to grow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
