Ben Johnson wants 15m per to be HC (internet rumor denied by agent)

[billsbackto81]

Posting this cause I remember a few mentioning how they like to see as a McD replacement. Talk about shooting for the stars! 15 per 😱

 

Woof..

LaCanfora trained this guy well

[Saxum]

He wants to stay a OC.

[Warcodered]

Eh he should be more focused on going to the right place that he can succeed at than that.

A guy that doesn't even know how to use his RBs properly? The way Jahmyr Gibbs has been used all season long is criminal. I get easing him in but by game 5 or 6, he should have been rolling but for some reason, this guy and Campbell have major hard ons for Montgomery

Well, it does say some NFL owner have been TOLD. 

 

Not some NFL owners are speculating. 

 

No source mentioned though,  so I'll give you that, but it's not that far fetched. He's the hot name right now.

[Low Positive]

Agents put stories like this out to get maximum value. This is a non-story.

You drafted Gibbs relatively high in FF, didn’t you?

[mushypeaches]

Well, the man definitely has some stones

[dollars 2 donuts]

I love the Lions.  I loved them last year...heck even back when they were struggling to end their draught.

 

However, this guy has 1.5 good years going for him (fine) and still isn't at the apex of the league (but close) and they have yet to see their first playoff game.

 

Let the GMs and the owners know in the room when it comes time.  Don't be a douche and have it "escape" out into the world like this.

 

...ya douche.

 

Doucherson.

Somewhat smart to ask for a high amount of money as the more money a team is giving you the more they have invested in you and the more you have a chance to succeed. But that doesn’t always work out and if your price is too high teams will not give you an offer as you are still just an up and coming coordinator. 
 

There are only 32 NFL HC jobs out there so you can’t be too selective either.

[Doc Brown]

For how vital a head coach is I'm surprised they don't already make this.  If Kyle Shanahan said give me 40 million a year on my next extension or I'll quit would the 49ers move on?

It’s all hearsay/speculation till it isn’t, 

[HomeskillitMoorman]

I'd do it. Who cares, Pegs is filthy rich and this doesn't count against the cap.

Right, he should be asking for the moon. I would easily pay him 3-4 times what McD makes to have him instead. Can you imagine him with Josh?

[NewEra]

Smart guy.  

If you want him, pay him.  That kind of money shouldn’t matter for a HC that doesn’t count against the cap imo.  If teams want him bad enough, they’ll pay him that.  And they will

 

college kids are getting paid millions to play college sports nowadays.  Then they transfer and make millions more if they aren’t happy.

 

USC paid Malachi Nelson millions to take classes at USC and watch USC games….. he then said “see ya” and entered the transfer portal.

You would.  Terry has his coach

Not the point. You can clearly see who the better RB is and they don't use him properly

Sounds like he's right, though. Isn't he?

Was just a jibe and not the seriousness of your point. 
 

Gibbs is decent and is seeing more production whilst still giving Monty significant snaps. You make it

sound like he’s a pitiful RB.

Idk if it’s just unlucky when I watch them and my perception is skewed but it feels like the lions have a way better oline than the team that ends up hiring Ben Johnson will and when I’ve seen them play that Detroit oline didnt dominate and they get demolished 

 

I feel like most OCs in the league would look like a genius with an oline near the top in the nfl

[Mr. WEO]

Why shouldn’t a HC be paid like 10th highest paid RB?  
 

He doesn’t deserve George Kittle money? 
 

That should be a minimum
