$15 mil for Ben Johnson?

[dabears70]

Who does this guy think he is and what does he think he has accomplished to demand that kind of money. This definitely puts the Bears out of the running if true.

REPORT: THIS Hot Head Coach Candidate Is Demanding $15 MILLION PER YEAR Despite No HC Experience ... Who Will Bite??

For the past two seasons, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has been looked upon as not only one of the best coordinators in football, but also the hottest head coach candidate. Some were surprised he returned to Detroit this past offseason when he seemingly had head coach...

In all fairness, the Lions are all trying to figure out how to handle a little bit of success. That's true for coaches, players, fans, and their trolls.

Pretty sure that's already been denied.

Saw a report that it may have been Detroit that leaked that to keep teams away from Johnson.

Makes sense. I haven't seen that but i guess i can see Detroit trying some shit like that.

The coaches have agents. Teams front offices aren’t setting how the market is tested. Oy vey.

no chance the owners will let these rookies set new precedents. Not happening.

I read the same and that makes sense.

From NBC Sports:

“Still, at the core of the report from Anderson is the notion that "some Owners have been told" that the asking price will be in the range of $15 million. Flowers disputes that.

We aren't in position to break the tie. That said, it would be out of the ordinary for any coordinator who has never been a head coach to be making exorbitant demands before he has ever even been interviewed. The money follows the interest. The first step is to generate as much interest as possible.”

How does the Lions leaking information that makes him look bad, improve their chances of keeping him, make sense?

His agent denied the asking price

Just watching how Flus' D with just one good pass rusher has made that O into a turnover machine is enough to sour me on Johnson.

I don’t understand how you blame the OC for Goff being Goff

Goff has played well overall. In fact if you take away the Bears games he has 23 TDs and 5 Ints. So the struggles against the Bears is in part because the Bears D figured out something most teams havent about that offense.

Well to be fair, they were missing their starting OG & C. Bears exploited the middle of the line which is when Goff really struggles. Goff can’t move laterally but is good when he can step into the pocket and avoid the outside pressure. He wasn’t able to move up in the pocket and the Bears took advantage.

This is exactly what gives me pause about Ben Johnson. Most offenses look good with a veteran QB that has all day in the pocket. He only has two years of calling plays and it's behind the best O line in football. The few games they haven't been healthy, they haven't looked very good.

Do we make these same excuses for Getsy? I would prefer an OC who can succeed even when things are not ideal.

Gotta throw a lot of that blame on Goff though. He's always had these issues.

He gets the credit when Goff looks good.

Fair is fair.

For once I agree with Remy.

The Bears defense exposed this guy. If ya go through his background there's nothing that screams HC. The Bears need someone with Qb development experience and SB experience. There are coaches out there with that background

Fields had issues too but the mantra is play to your QBs strengths. Maybe should have rolled out Goff more if the interior OL was shaky.
