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 .

Wow 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.

+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'd also pass. I can't recall recent success or anything being hailed as innovative or special in recent years from him

Reich reminds me of Norv Turner.
Great OC, terrible HC.

The benefit of getting a guy like Reich is teams won't be beating down his door to hire him and maybe he won't want the headache of a HC job now that he's been burned twice.

If we bring in a guy like Mark Brunell, he might only be available for a 1 or 2 before he gets hired away.

I'd want Reich if we got a defensive minded HC like Mike Vrabel. Vrabels downfall is they never really developed a QB. Reich would be a big help in that area.

If we go with an offensive guy, a younger guy like Brunell would be a better fit.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2024/1/...didates-ranked

Personally I'd ignore the top 2 on this list as I don't want either because they'd want too much control, plus I reckon they'll be in SD and Atl respectively next year. I'd also take Vrabel of the list (again control) and I'm not convinced with Morris' HC credentials.

For me, I'd be happy with the rest of that list, preferably Johnson. Evero I'm not 100% on, but basically because he's not an offensive guy, and his D credentials are pretty sound. I wonder if Slowik is ready yet? Sometimes the meteoric risers can't sustain that success. But there's not denying what he's achieved so far.

I chose Johnson…I really like the DC from Baltimore as well.

Vrable and Morris I’d have interest in as well.

Slowick is first year OC. More seasoning imo
