Ben Johnson 2025.
get rid of the stale…
I don't get the Ben Johnson obsession. Brad Holmes built that roster and added all that talent. And Johnson clearly has some issues; who knows what happened in that commanders interview, but he tucked tail and ran back to Detroit.
The same exact people pushing him were pushing Josh McDaniels in 2020. Some folks just really like bright, flashy objects. He might turn out to be a really good head coach or he might flop, better, more hyped HC prospects have.
Going to go out on a limb and guess doesn't hemake it to four conference championships and two SBs in his first seven years as a HC.
I've got a lower bar. I'll settle for one Super Bowl win.
I think we can say both have offensive chops, but imo the reason we don't have 6 is due to HC weaknesses in game management, ST management, Defense management if not blessed with a DC that handles that on his own, willingness to play the best current players over declining or injured name players, not choosing to give Patrick Mahomes the first opportunity to win as well as giving him four downs on every series when you've won the toss, blaming the players when you've made such aggrievous errors thereby exposing an inferiority complex, keeping the team motivated and fired up and positive in their belief in winning, being aggressive, and being willing to take chances on offense to put the opponent away before it is an obvious necessity.
The value of a lost SB is worth a bucket of something warm, a horrible statistical position, draft place punishment, SB hangover, and a feeling in the team that what's the point if the coach is not capable of getting us over the hump if we get him there again anyway.
Josh McDaniels is an inferiority personality type that tries to compensate by bullying his team with his power (like Nolan), that has every player hating him in a nanosecond on two different teams a decade apart, and who has no place in any position of leadership. I for one am not a person that would be open to giving Josh McDaniels a shot, while I would be open to giving Ben Johnson a shot. Proven people in all aspects of head coaching are not frequently available, so it has to be hire someone competent, intelligent, and articulate in areas outside his area of proven expertise in a bit of trial and error. Been there and done that with Kyle.
