Then hire Robert Salah as DC.  That would be pretty sweet.

From Doug's first presser as HC of the Jaguars:  "Calling plays.  That's something I pride myself in.  I will say right now that I want to call the plays.  I want to put myself in a position to help this football team".

We were all sold a bag of [BLEEP], he never wanted to be Andy Reid.  He just wanted to role play Andy Reid, and then coast on his SB win.

I don't get all the Ben Johnson love. He apparently didn't interview well in Washington, which would've been a golden opportunity for him. He wanted too much money for Carolina. I'm sensing a huge ego. Kudos to him for getting consistent production from Goff, but how much of that is Goff being out to show the world the Rams were wrong to dump him? Goff also has a very talented offensive line and great weapons. Trevor would light it up in that offense. 

Every year, there are hotshot offensive coordinators, like Dave Canales. Then they go somewhere with lesser QB talent (see Stefanski) or their star QB goes down (see McDaniels) and they are no longer super creative QB whisperers.

If you watch the Lions offense, they are so well coached and they scheme up so many good plays. Now can he be a head coach? Not sure but I would guess he will be. The thing I like most about Ben Johnson is that he plays to his players strengths. Goff has always thrown those dig routes really well and throws over the middle well so they scheme those up. They target ARSB a lot on a bunch of different routes and give DMont and Gibbs their touches too. 

Hot shot coordinators sometimes turn out to be the next best HC though. LaFleur, McVay, Shannahan, McDermott, Reid, Ryans, KOC.... 

Gotta take your shot but I am very over the old retread head coaches. I want someone who will play to Trevors strengths and I want an OC as my HC so that there isn't much turnover if the future OC leaves to take a HC job. I like Liam Coen, Ben Johnson, Mike LaFleur. I would also kick the tires on Ben Grubb and Todd Monken (I know he's older but man he's done so good in Baltimore).
