Yes, everybody knows that Ben Johnson is arguably the hottest head coach prospect in the coming off-season.

But I’ve seen some posts about the Lions window already closing, and Ben Johnson leaving would be the end of it. And I just don’t buy that.

Dan Campbell hired Ben Johnson, and the two of them collaborated on putting the offensive scheme together. Who’s to say Dan Campbell doesn’t already have someone lined up next to Ben, ready to take his place? And if he doesn’t already, do you believe Dan Campbell won’t be able to find a good OC to replace Ben Johnson?

Yes, he was the one who hired Anthony Lynn first. But he got rid of him when things weren’t working. And the rest is history.

Let this season play out. I know for some of us, it’s Super Bowl or bust THIS YEAR, and I get it. But if that doesn’t happen, it’s not the end of the Brand New Lions, even if Ben Johnson does move on.

I trust Dan Campbell to find a good replacement if it happens.

    Do you guys ever wonder why we have 47 assistant coaches with significant playing or coaching experience? They are easy to train. Ben Johnson’s system will not leave when he does.
