Ben Johnson is still the standout candidate by a mile. His resume and body of work is still so impressive. No coach is going to be a guaranteed success but you take someone who has proven they can do it in the NFL.

Yeah it’s funny, you just knew going online that the overreactions to one game were going to be flying. No one is a guarantee to be a good head coach, you could go hire an accomplished head coach like Pete Carroll or Mike McCarthy and there is no guarantee they would be successful either. People are kind of just looking past Washington, but they won 12 games, obviously drafted a hell of a rookie, Quinn is a hell of a defensive mind, Kingsbury sucks as a head coach but has always been an excellent OC. Losing this game doesn’t really have much of a bearing on wether these coordinators are good candidates, you have to look at the body of work.

Johnson was still able to get 31 points against a good defense with Goff having a bad night and turning it over a lot. The Lions went 15-2 so saying they beat up on bad teams and lost to good ones makes zero sense. Johnson is still a top candidate, one game against a really good/hot team doesn’t change that. Of course Coen, Brady, etc are also good candidates. We are blessed with good options this year, just gotta hope we pick the right one.
