Ben Johnson, Lions OC


Recommended Posts

He's an Amazing OC, and it's no fault of his that his HC had a CTE attack in the middle of the game.....

IDK if or how it translates to being a great HC in his own right, but for hiring purposes excelling as a coordinator seems to be a pre-requisite.....he's earned the right to be hired away by a team.....

Looks like the Detroit DC Aaron Glenn won't get a HC job this year.

He'll be available for Woody next year, to continue his rookie HC from the defensive side of the ball tradition.

I actually like Glenn a lot - he was a great player for us and is a very good coach - but it would be tough to accept another defensive rookie head coach.

I loved him as a player, but I don’t get the coaching hype around him.

There's ALWAYS up and coming new coordinators that are "different from the rest."

But Ben Johnson actually is. That dude is one of the better coordinators I've seen in a long time....maybe since Kyle Shanahan.

I hope that translates into a good head coach and I'll root for him when he's not facing the Jets.

I think he's done a good job in Detroit.  Their D plays tough, although their pass-D is not very good. Tough to know how much of that to pin on Glenn, as the Detroit CBs are pretty crappy. Would be interesting to see what kind of D he could put out there with quality players at CB.

Felt horrible for him 2nd half. Just needed one stop.😩 He is a good coach.
