It’s possible he could be like Kliff Kingsbury- a guy who’s a great OC but horrible HC. This actually happens all the time with coaches. Shoot, we all thought Nielsen would be great, look how that turned out. It happens all the time that great coordinators are better just being coordinators. The best plan would be to make sure you have a great GM in place then you hire best options at HC. Imagine we allowed Urban to pick a GM? It’s just a dumb [BLEEP] concept.

Ideally, my preferred approach would be to get the GM first and let him pick the head coach.  However, if that's what it takes to get Ben Johnson here, I'm fine with it.  I trust him to select a good GM more than Khan.  My guess is that he selects Ray Agnew (assistant GM with the Lions).  He would probably be my first choice anyways.
