I don't get it. I really don't. I find nothing appealing about living and working in Las Vegas with Mark Davis. In addition, you're going to be in the AFC West, the division that just yielded the best team overall record wise, including two additional play off teams with stout defenses to contest with.

Unless it's just the idea of maybe being around or working with Tom Brady. That team also has no QB and there's no guarantee you'll land the right one in the draft come April.

The best thing about the Raiders job is Bowers

Yeah. That's about it. In a tough [BLEEP] division as well. Johnson would probably have fun with Bowers as a play caller for sure. It would just be difficult carving out a path in the play-off's when you're contesting with the Chiefs and what looks like bright futures with the Chargers with Harbaugh and the Broncos with Payton.

It's just a stacked division with not only great rosters and football talent but also some of the best coaching in the business with a lot of know-how and staying power. I just don't see it being the best bet if I am a coaching candidate right now. Feels like he'd get chewed up and spit out quickly out west.

I would take the Jets or Patriots job over the Raiders job personally. I would stay away from Chicago for the same reason I would stay away from Las Vegas. Just too damn stacked division wise to carve a path out. The path of least resistance is in the AFC South in my opinion and it starts here in Jacksonville.

I would also want the crown personally, of, being THE coach that maximized Trevor Lawrence and elevated him to where he should have been all along as an elite NFL caliber QB. Ben Johnson can do that. Joe Brady can do that. Liam Coen can do that.
