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 

Tell me you’re a disgruntled fantasy football player without telling me you’re a disgruntled fantasy football player.

15 million for what will be a first time HC. Good luck with that. I wonder if Belichick makes 15 million per year or maybe more. 

[WotAGuy]

Why is he not demanding a share in ownership?  He and the kid from USC can own the team together.

My grandpa used to say " want in one hand and **** in the other and see which gets full the fastest".

[Ya Digg?]

Many of you are missing the point. You’re right, he probably won’t get $15 million, but I doubt he even had the intention of actually getting that much. My guess is this is an early negotiating tactic by him and his agent-good chance this will get him more than what he would’ve gotten otherwise

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

And to scare away the riff-raff lowballers out there.

[Albany,n.y.]

Word of his demands reached Elmwood Cemetary in Detroit and one of the interred is spinning.  

[BuffaloBillyG]

If I'm a team with an expected vacancy and this report is put out by "his people" this is an immediate red flag to me.

 

For the record, don't care what the rumored demands are. What I would care about is that he is a coach, moving to playoff football and seems concerned with playing with media to jockey for a higher contract with his next team. It's really not the best optics if I'm doing the hiring. 

 

And I understand that sometimes agents go rogue and play these games. I'd question if he can't control the agent that works "for him" how could he command control over an entire team.

Goff and the O has looked awful on the road. Awful. 

Johnson is delusional

Well you have to admit his two seasons as OC positioning the Lions as the one seed in the NFC and taking them to the NFC Championship game then the Superbowl were 🔥

 

Oh.  Wait.

This reminded me of the report (not sure it is true) that Caleb Williams (or his Dad) wants any team that drafts him to give him an ownership interest.

 

In other words, this is completely self-defeating unless he were to walk that back.

15 mill per year.  4-5 year contract.  $60-$75 million and may be on the street in 3 years?  

 

Nope.

 

Can’t believe any team would be foolish enough for an u proven dude.

We just got done beating Kansas City and Dallas
 

Head coaching is not going to be question going into the off-season

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

one fully guaranteed 4 year 60M deal would definitely qualify as success in my book

So far all we’ve learned from this thread is that some people still hate McD and that at least one guy drafted Jahmyr Gibbs in fantasy. 

[BringBackFergy]

I read/heard here that Ben Johnson is THE guy we need to fill McDermott’s incompetent job performance. Yeah. Pay that man his money. Abso-f’ing-lutely.

The Browns seem to have a decent thing going with Stefanski, so they’ll probably kick him to the curb and bring in Ben Johnson for 15 per.
