Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

Ben Johnson is Friday

A little surprised Belichick isn't calling it a career yet. He must really wanna coach still. I know he wants to prove he can create a winner without Brady but guy has been in the league forever and in his 70s now. He may pull a Joe Pa and just coach as long as he can stand.

he'll die before he retires. started early with his dad at Navy, and has been paid as a coach since 1975.

Quinn makes me think of a younger RR, though maybe with more passion. What's he done at Dallas that makes him stand out? 2 good seasons in Atlanta but less than .500 there overall.

Personally I vote a young offensive coach that can bring in a great DC to complement him. Plus have and use an OC, not call plays himself.

Ben Johnson is being looked at because he is an excellent OC ... We hire him based on that and he Hires another OC ?? this is what I don't understand about the hire .

https://www.golongtd.com/p/why-ben-johnson-is-atop-the-coachingWow what a great read. Hope we land Ben Johnson. Campbell has done an incredible job at Detroit. Will never forget him crying after losses his 1st year. Nearly impossible not to root for him and Detroit at this point.

I'm a little worried the Cowboys might dump McCarthy and make a run for Belichick. BB is probably looking for a team with a good roster and qb that is just underachieving. He doesn't need to do a full rebuild.

+1, fantastic profile of him. Not sure what it means for him as a HC - as the article says he is gonna have to find his voice/style - but regardless he is gonna get his opportunity next year for sure.

I think any new HC has to find their voice/style. And honestly if the guy is an x’s and o’s genius I could care less what his voice/style is. Pete Carrol and BB were two great HC’s and are completely different styles.

I disagree - the HC has to be a leader first and foremost. You lose the war if you lose the locker room, being a HC means commanding the respect of the entire locker room. That's why I like what Peters said yesterday - they want a leader of men, whether his background is offense or defense doesn't matter.

Other than Parcells hiring BB really wouldn't be Jerry's style. He likes a HC that won't overshadow him. And I can't see BB wanting an owner like Jerry hanging over his shoulder.
