The Seahawks waiting for Johnson is odd in hindsight. I would think his agent must've made it very clear his price tag. So, if you don't want to pay that, why continue to to wait it out for him and do a 2nd interview?
Something isn't adding up there.
This is huge for the Lions, as he is what drives that offense, maximizing their weapons. He is a special playcaller and the Lions would be nuts to let him walk out the door. Similar to Kyle leaving ATL.
There are still a lot of good hires available. All upgrades over what Pete is at this juncture which seems to be missed by too many.
This is a very strong coaching class so to speak. The Seahawks are going to get a good one, regardless.
And if not, well... Sometimes you have to hire your Mora to get to your Carroll.
The page needed to be turned, the franchise has been stuck in neutral since about 2016. It feels like they are 4 years behind where they should be, having dragged it out with Pete for far too long.
What gets interesting is they could hire an obscure OC, instead of the hotshot coordinator and people will jump to conclusions immediately, damning the hire.
Let me remind folks, Brandon Staley was the hotshot coordinator with the Rams a few ago that everyone wanted. And Matt Lafleur was a nobody OC with the Titans.
It's looking like Kafka right now. Maybe Quinn +Chip.
