Ben Johnson doesn’t have to leave. Just pay Johnson like a head coach. Make him happy and tough for him to leave. How many times do we see the hot coordinator get a head coaching job and the team is bad and fired after 1-2 years? Then they lose all their reputation. Josh McDaniels already this year, Brian Daball, with the NYG, Staley with the Chargers and countless others.

Plus only a matter of time before Jerry Jones comes calling for Dan Campbell and empties the vault to have him come back to Dallas and be the Cowboys head coach.

Lions need to sign Dan long term. Now A&M but you know Jerry Jones is going to come after Dan Campbell with his deep ties with the Cowboys and the Jones family. Lions extend and pay raise to both Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson. Pay them what they need to be happy and stay.
