That's exactly it. That was the speculation. He wanted the Bears job, but went back to the Lions because the Bears kept Eberflus one more year. Which means he is coming here once the Lions are done in the playoffs, if the speculation holds true. Should be noted this was speculation not from the people the peanut gallery would have an issue with, but I believe came from the likes of Breer, Schefty, etc the last hiring cycle.
As you said, its still all just speculation and rumors.
But it is funny that if this is all true, and Johnson is indeed coming here, you have a bunch of Bears fans who have been hurt too many times and have too much PTSD to ever believe that the Bears could be ANYONE'S top choice, let alone the prize coach of a hiring cycle, and then you also have the people in the media who behind the scenes know or at least suspect he is coming here, and are doing everything they can to make him change his mind, for their own reasons and agendas - likely to no avail...
I personally would be happy with any of brady, monken or ben johnson...even okay settling for mccarthy. so to me not a big deal if he goes elsewhere.
I know certain posters will act like chicken little if ben johnson chooses the jags or raiders.
