The dude is a kitten abuser, why would they want him?
I don’t have it handy but someone did an analysis this off season on OC/DC experience and how much it relates to success as a HC.
Basically, there’s no correlation. The skills that make a good head coach are largely separate from those that make a great coordinator.
Fans and the media will hype up hot shot coordinators, and teams will interview them, but at the end of the day a lot of these open positions are going to get filled instead by guys with prior HC experience that are seen as a much safer bet.
This is the price of success.
Honestly, I’m not sweating it though. I trust MCDC to find his replacement.
Don’t worry he’ll already have a ring by the time he starts HC interviews for next season
I cry
If we win the superbowl does that make him more or less likely to leave?
This might sound negative and don’t get me wrong because I think Ben Johnson is a genius, but is he head coach material?
Like, I think he’d be fine at the more cerebral aspects of coaching but can we picture him giving inspirational speeches? Getting the whole team to “buy in” to a overall concept?
I think of other coaches in the league that have continued success and it seems like they’re all characters, if you know what I mean. Does Mr Johnson have that kind of personality?
Maybe I’m off and it’s sort of how people take Jared Goff for a Smokin’ Jay Cutler type. What do you guys think?
