Feel free to ask the Lions players why they don't have Johnson ranked higher especially when Aaron Glenn was voted the No 1 DC and the Lions ST coach was voted 4th.
The Lions' Aaron Glenn, the Dolphins' Frank Smith and the Cowboys' John Fassel are the top-ranked defensive, offensive and special teams coordinators in the NFL, according to a survey of NFL players conducted by the players' union.

Also, the vote was last season when Brown was still with Panthers so nothing to do with Bears.
Could be Johnson is just a beta so the players don't really view him as leadership material. I mean he doesn't scream confident when he has all these stipulations to being a HC because he is worried about failure.
Then again could just be the Lions players are dumbfucks which there is ample evidence of that as well.
