While it sucks not being able to build the staff right now getting your guy over some guy is critical to long term success. It also allows you to interview a ton of guys that could in sense surprise you. I’m still hopeful for Johnson. I think him coming back his feel for game is a very bright sign for him translating to being a HC where he will have more on his plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTMONK HOF Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 JP Finlay More from @matt_valdez on Ravens DC Mike McDonald: "He's shut down Bobby Slowik twice. He manhandled Ben Johnson. Shut down Mike McDaniel...What he's doing is almost genius...The Ravens didnt allow the Texans into the red zone the entire game" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTMONK HOF Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Grant Paulsen Lions OL coach Hank Fraley is from Gaithersburg. It’s suggested here he will be Ben Johnson’s OC wherever he ends up in 2024. Not sure how I feel about this. I could see him being helpful with blocking schemes on runs and passing downs but calling plays in a game. That’s a tough one for me to embrace with some bit of enthusiasm.

Don’t know how that would be handled on the play calling but isn’t that the main job of an OC. Maybe they’re really close and giving him that title is a way to get him here.

These head coaches called the plays for their team last year: Mike McDaniel, Mike McCarthy, Zac Taylor, Kevin Stefanski, Shane Steichen, Doug Pederson, Sean Payton, Andy Reid, Josh McDaniels, Matt LaFleur, Kevin O'Connell, Arthur Smith, Frank Reich, Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan - 15/32 teams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bring Hank Fraley here as the OC? Is it what I said that they’re close and that’s the way to get him here. Will he be the lead OL Coach but call him the OC?

Are you just saying he can't do it because he is a former offensive lineman and o-line coach? Frank Smith was the Chargers O-line coach before promotion. Ben Johnson was TEs. Adam Stenavich was the o-line coach for the Packers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was kind of odd that you’re starting as a HC for the first time and you are handing those duties off to a guy who has never done it before. Ben calling the plays makes sense, I guess it’s a title thing when you call someone the OC I just imagine/assume he’s the guy that calls the plays.
