Well if the Johnson rumors are to be believed (big grain of salt here) he wanted to bring someone from the Lions FO with him. 

I personally think khan was just blowing smoke to please ears. He got off rather easy in that press conference. The reports threw him soft balls.

I think the former two will project leadership. The 30ish coaches, like Mike McDaniel, are like wonky young savants. They're viewed as the cool hipster at first. But when their wizardry gets figured out or their team's personnel isn't great, it will be tough for them to command the locker room and grind through the tough times. By contrast, Dan Campbell garnered instant respect as a former player and seasoned man to instill discipline and fortitude in the locker room. That's why I'm casting my vote for Glenn or Vrabel.

Right?!

Like.... Who wants McVay or LaFleur or OcConnell?! Those guys are just cool hipsters who don't command the locker room.

If only they were smart young minds who build their team around their strengths rather then force square pegs into round holes. They would probably do something insane like move Armstead to interior line. Crazy talk
