@@Kingmathias25 yes the playoffs being cut short certainly were an advantage for Ben’s job search: moving truck and boxes ordered before the locker room towels were dry. 🐍
He said the situation had to be perfect, that the organization had to be aligned top to bottom. And he went to the bears, and already has his coaching staff ready. It’s apparent that his mind was elsewhere, and that’s a slap in the face to Dan and everyone else in that locker room in my opinion. He’s gotta play us twice a year now.

Cry harder. Maybe y’all would of won the game if Goff wasn’t a pick machine like he has been all of his career yet you paid him 50 mil anyway despite the additional record of him not being able to go all the way.
I don’t think any coach does, they just know that everyone will fall for the white lie if you tell them what they want to hear He did however inform Dan that he was leaving to be head coach elsewhere (the Raider were his destination but I guess it fell through and Chicago offered him a better offer) And you know in today’s world words/loyalty mean nothing money is the ruler of everything and Dan already knew that Ben would walk away after turning down head coaching jobs last year
EXACTLY, as good as he was he did do that a lot.. it's like the bigger the games the more he overthought the simple situation.. it's like he thought like 🤔"well they'll be thinking I'm about to pass it, to Jamo cuz he's back, well guess what??

We'll see how it goes but a lot of things need to go right. There's a reason a lot of coordinators don't work out as head coaches. He'll have to be able to put a good coaching staff together, command a locker room, and hes also gonna have to change the culture in that building. Most of the guys in that locker room haven't experienced nothing besides losing and it's gonna be up to him to change the energy. We'll see how it goes.
I'm on the ship of FORGET BEN. He threw that game and he got away from our identity RUN & GRIT.... TAKE THE CIRCUS AND BAG OF TRICKS WITH U TO CHICAGO...
Traitor. Now I see why he had Jamo throw a fuckin pass in that game. Probably told Goff to throw a few picks too! Lol no, I'm jk. But it sure explains a lot in that game.
And what incentive would he have to do that? That’s just dumb. Blame Jared Goff and your depleted defense. Blame your coach for not calling timeout with 12 men on the field on a critical 4th down. Knock it off.
@AaronTheDogMMA so what he still had no reason to throw the game. If you watched the game you'll know the reason we lost was a whole lot more then just Ben Johnson
IT'S DISAPPOINTING, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF LOYALTY... SAME DIV?... BUT I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TALENT ON THE FIELD!.. I'M SURE HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE QUALIFIED, TO LEAD OUR STACKED, OFFENSE... GET HEALTHY LIONS!...WE'LL BE FINE, IMO.
Man starting to think he never cared about this Washington game. People blaming Glenn I know for a fact Glenn cares about Detroit. Ben Johnson had a healthy offense and laid an egg probably because he was too focused on his interviews
Remember what Washington said about Ben Johnson wen he declined HC position at the last minute. Classless, He never really seem to fit in with us in the locker after games. Maybe we needed this snake gone to win the it all
Hank Fraley had a job interview with the Seahawks to be their OC. With Johnson gone, best bet is Fraley becomes the OC in Detroit, the Lions don't want to lose him.
@@kendrickking1918 I've been rethinking it... Scottie Montgomery might be the best choice to hire from within as well. Scottie's resume coaching at college at HC, OC for 9 years can't be dismissed. Randle El has expressed interest in coaching at the OC level as well last year? We've got to try to keep these guys no matter what happens but Montgomery makes the most sense in terms of experience and sacrifice. All 3 are former NFL players and I think, at the top of their game but Montgomery has the most coaching experience. Like you said, keep it loyal. 🙂
He is OC of the Bears now. That tells me Montgomery or Engstren are already chosen as next OC in Detroit. And what is with all the panic? How many former NE coaches became wildly successful head coaches? Crenel, Obrien, Dabol, PATRICIA? Campbell, Spielman, Holmes are all intact place. The core players are all intact place. Good coaches will fill the Lions open spots. K beck
@ Just heard Terrell Williams is gone to New England (as a DC). Williams would have been the best fit to replace Aaron Glenn and we lose both of them. Sounds like we lost Fraley as well. Hank Fraley moved on to be an OC. These guys have all moved up to HC or OC/DC jobs and we're going to miss them. There's a reason why they've moved up, unfortunate to see it happen but that's the nature of business. It's just unfortunate that with injuries etc, we couldn't have seen them go with rings on their fingers. Tough break all around.
Whoever are next offensive coordinator is please make sure their heart wants to be in Detroit and is dedicated to the Lions organization that includes the season the playoffs wild card division around the NFC championship and super bowl please
So he had time to hire a staff for the Bears and call a lousy game for the Lions playoff run...what a dirt bag...good riddance with his too cute play calling boochit! Having Jamo throwing the ball, etc.
Johnson called a horrible game Saturday and has done this before in big games like you said King...he gets too cute. I'm looking forward to see who takes over as the HC for our offense.
Not only that, but he knows our style of plays and how we run as a team. Might be best to go outside of the team to find a replacement while still maintaining a similar mentality
I agree with you on in-season job interviews for coordinators! How can it not be a distraction. The play calling was horrible at key moments in the Washington game.
I love these lazy narratives from casuals. Ben Johnson has had a track record of getting too cutesy his entire time here, the fix wasn’t in just for this particular game. If we allow that his playcalling was too “fuck it, chuck it” bc he knew he wouldn’t be back, please also consider that he wasn’t randomly “distracted” in game planning the last two weeks - I believe he generally wanted to do right by the team and it wasn’t his fault that Jamo and Jared threw the ball to the other team as many times as they did.
It kind of is his fault when you consider the decision to even call those plays. Why go empty on a 3 rd and 1 with Gibbs averaging 7 yds a carry? Why call a trick play in that situation? Offense had no problems moving down the field despite the turnovers so why call the play? Why is goff throwing 40 times against one of the worst run defenses in the league?
Like u said King the 3 games we lost this season shows we need oc to finish the job and beat these teams If we want to win it all I wouldn't mind getting John Gruden as oc but we need a qb for it to work
Going to love the media say next year is our downfall last in the division because we lose Ben & Glenn and the way we lost will hurt us mentally some bs you know they would say ( underdog ! )
I’m going to be completely honest here - this has been on my mind for a while now, and I’m not saying it in the moment or out of spite, but I just don’t see Ben Johnson as a good fit for head coach. Obviously, he's a good coordinator but a head coach? I just can’t picture it. He doesn’t seem to have the kind of authority, the commanding presence, or the demeanor that you'd expect from a head coach. We've seen many cases where promising coordinators get the head coaching job and flop hard because they just don’t have that “it” factor when it comes to managing an entire team, creating a culture, and holding players accountable. Look, I get it - this is all speculation, but I just don’t think Ben will be the answer for Chicago. I honestly feel like Aaron Glenn has much more head coach potential. His leadership style, his ability to connect with players, being a former player himself - I think that translates better to a head coach position. Ben Johnson? I have serious doubts, especially in a tough environment like Chicago. We’ll see how it plays out, but I’m not optimistic about his chances for success.
Agreed. Ben Johnson has the emotional constitution of a psychopath...in other words, ice runs through his veins. Good for a coordinator, terrible for a head coach. Good luck Bears with your new head coach, Benedict Johnson!
You are 100% correct in your assessment! Completely spot on! His first lame, lackluster, no energy speech with the Bears yesterday is so tired and weak. Coach Dan Wannabe! Dan is a General of Men, Born Leader! Dan is an Aries. His birthday is a few days from mine. Aries are born leaders period!
It's no surprise now everyone see how the lions offense was terrible that past 3yrs in nfc championship game against the 49ers and this divisional game against Washington too much playing around instead of running the ball Ben Johnson going to the bears is nothing but more fire we are going to unleash on them each game
I love to see Hutch chasing and sacking Caleb Wiliams. I hope the LIONS hire OC from outside and not promote from within. Same with DC if AG is hired. Complacency may become a problem when you promote from within.
He look like he was into it during the game I kept saying on x give it to Gibbs he is dominating you can tell some of the plays he ran he didn't care anymore we should have still beat Washington
EXACTLY, especially at trick play with JAMO!.. look, as good as he was he did do that a lot.. it's like the bigger the games the more he overthought the simple situation.. it's like he thought like 🤔"well they'll be thinking I'm about to pass it, to Jamo cuz he's back, well guess what?? I'm doing a DOUBLE reverse play with Gibbs and St Brown!.. HA!.. bet you weren't expecting that, now huh??!" 😅,.. like bro.. why are you overthinking it.. just do basic play sometimes that leads to efficiency.. it was too many times that we went through and out to start the game because he opens up with some dumb stuff.. leaving Lions and thinking "what the hell was that play calling on that drive Ben??"
Ben wanted to go to the bears last year but they kept flus. He even turned down the commanders hc job. He’s a fan of Caleb he has played against the bears defense. Him and Allen are gonna do huge things with the bears
Ben Johnson" Just lost faith in the Detroit lion's!! Of not so very perfectly performance skills of totally awesome abilities!! That's the real reason!! My great inspiring message for today!! Have a very impressive beautiful 🎃😍❤ day.🎃😍❤
the same dude running random bum ass trick plays? the same dude who wouldnt run gibbs one of the best RBs in the league in a must win game? yeah i dont want that guy.. watch when the bears run them weak ass trick plays they wont go anywhere.
Total snake move!!! Total betrayal!!! He wasn't busy scheming for the Washington game!!! He was conspiring with the Bears to improve their team!!!! Total betrayal!!! What a disgrace!!!! He's going to get BOOED out of Ford Field!!!!
IF WE CANT BEAT Ben Johnson who we seen 4 years play in this offense, then we really need to hang it up. This is a GOOD THING for us. We know the Vikings, Green Bay & now the Bears. Can’t blame him, he came back he deserves better QB for his scheme! We have bigger issues…
This is a good thing for the lions now they can get a oc to execute plays running the ball wearing down the defense and play action to our Wr but the number one thing is we need to fix our defense and get faster players on the front end and especially at Lb and cb I would bring back Aron Glenn because he really didn't have any to work with just a bunch of pieces
After Ben hiring the Saints coordinators who were known by campbell and not him, i picture Ben ease dropping at the door of meetings that Campbell and Holmes were having on who was good.
Interviews or not, he was leaving. It has always been the Bears ever since last season. He wanted the job last season, but the Bears decided to keep Eberflus, so Ben Johnson decided to say with Lions. Plus, Jared Goff is the real reason the Lions lost, but the Lions are my SB favorite for 2026.
Live and let live! With the points the lions did score that should have resulted in a victory. Goff and our defense played a major role in the loss. I'm not upset with where he went, because I know what we have here is better than there!
You can bet on him running for his life when we play them out team is not going to forget this and Williams will pay for it him and Ben a dick Arnold 😂
King ….this is what happens when you run the ball against Washington….you score a bunch of rushing touchdowns…..yes a week later and I am still ticked we didn’t run the ball instead of the gimmicky plays…
He was definitely checked out before the game on Saturday with some of those play calls.
I hope this team whoops Chicago’s ass this year and then some.
Y'all barely could beat them with Fields and struggle with them this year so y'all can't really be talking
Karma will be a bitch. Makes me sad.

Thanks Detroit y’all helped us ALOT 🗣️🤣💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾😎
Maybe Dan Campbell is Hard to Work With ???🤔🤔
Ben Johnson didn't want to be in Dan Campbell's shadow. I truly believe that he never wanted to be in Detroit anymore.
Ben overthinks the obvious. Always trying to fix what isnt broken. If he doesnt learn to change that, ill be happy to play Chicago 2x a year

Ben Johnson" Just lost faith in the Detroit lion's!! Of not so very perfectly performance skills of totally awesome abilities!! That's the real reason!! My great inspiring message for today!! Have a very impressive beautiful 🎃😍❤ day.🎃😍❤
the same dude running random bum ass trick plays? the same dude who wouldnt run gibbs one of the best RBs in the league in a must win game? yeah i dont want that guy.. watch when the bears run them weak ass trick plays they wont go anywhere.
It all makes sense now. WOW
Bro Ryan Chicago GM is terrible especially in drafting not worried at all bro Ben snake ass can stay in the division let's go.
Here's hoping Aaron Glenn gets himself a new job too.. it's been time to cut ties with both coordinators.. Adios Benedict Johnson..
Welcome to having a competent team. Sean Mcvay is literally feeding a quarter of the nfls head coaches.
Total snake move!!! Total betrayal!!! He wasn't busy scheming for the Washington game!!! He was conspiring with the Bears to improve their team!!!! Total betrayal!!! What a disgrace!!!! He's going to get BOOED out of Ford Field!!!!
They can have him! What made our offense great were the players not him! NO ONE MAN IS ABOVE THE TEAM!
Benedict Arnold Johnson
All money ain't good money. Thanks Benny!
💯 per cent
IF WE CANT BEAT Ben Johnson who we seen 4 years play in this offense, then we really need to hang it up. This is a GOOD THING for us. We know the Vikings, Green Bay & now the Bears. Can’t blame him, he came back he deserves better QB for his scheme!
We have bigger issues…
Look up Ben Johnson and there you will see the definition of UNLOYAL.
And a photo of a snake 🐍🐍🐍
That's why ben called a bad game so he go get the head coach job
HUH ???????
This is a good thing for the lions now they can get a oc to execute plays running the ball wearing down the defense and play action to our Wr but the number one thing is we need to fix our defense and get faster players on the front end and especially at Lb and cb I would bring back Aron Glenn because he really didn't have any to work with just a bunch of pieces
So fast after that sad game on Saturday. I wonder if his mind was elsewhere...
Your OC sold on you in the playoffs then left town the next day? First time Ey Detroit?😂
I think we should promote our offensive lineman coach as OC and if we lose Glenn we should make T Williams the DC
WE ARE TAKING YOUR OFFENSIVE LINE COACH TOO 🤣
After Ben hiring the Saints coordinators who were known by campbell and not him, i picture Ben ease dropping at the door of meetings that Campbell and Holmes were having on who was good.
Interviews or not, he was leaving. It has always been the Bears ever since last season. He wanted the job last season, but the Bears decided to keep Eberflus, so Ben Johnson decided to say with Lions. Plus, Jared Goff is the real reason the Lions lost, but the Lions are my SB favorite for 2026.
Can’t convince me this aint nun but a snake slimeball move and now u cant tell me sabotage on everyone mind
Ben "Shenanigan" Johnson!!! 😅
Judas Johnson.
Live and let live! With the points the lions did score that should have resulted in a victory. Goff and our defense played a major role in the loss. I'm not upset with where he went, because I know what we have here is better than there!
cope
verb
(of a person) deal effectively with something difficult.
"his ability to cope with stress"
AND IT SAYS BEN WAS TOO BUSY ASSEMBLING STAFF AND HES GOING AFTER SAINTS STAFF DENNIS ALLEN TOO
Can we get a live stream this week ??
U right I ben to go along time
Interviews should be done in the off-season
Bye get up outta here with them dumbass plays you be calling at the wrong time
Our defense is dog water and always will be under this regime. They want Captain America and we need Hulk!
You can bet on him running for his life when we play them out team is not going to forget this and Williams will pay for it him and Ben a dick Arnold 😂
We should have known this was comin'....
Should had been running the ball all game
He's going to get his ass fired within 2 years going to that inept team
Thank you 🐻⬇️
I can't even blame him. We proved this year that we are never going to get him that ring.
King ….this is what happens when you run the ball against Washington….you score a bunch of rushing touchdowns…..yes a week later and I am still ticked we didn’t run the ball instead of the gimmicky plays…
If his play calling isn't great, you should be Happy he went to the bears. 😂
That just looks suspicious in my opinion
