Here's the situation..Ben Johnson knows that he is on the verge of winning a Superbowl. If they win it this year, he probably will run it back and then take a HC job where his demand will be even higher. The media also knows that the Lions are on the verge of a historic run, and they wanted so bad to break it up and try to convince the Lions assistants to bail, get a HC job, probably be unsuccessful and the historic run of the Lions never happens. But this team from top to bottom is about to be something like we've never seen and the AC's are all in!!
"Leave something to mystery"? This guy clearly doesn't know how much of a circus has developed around Ben Johnson and his decision to stay. Ben just wants to call plays and win, and if that means giving a perfectly descriptive take on what he wants to do to shut people the hell up already, so be it. Who is the "verbal diarrhea" clown, anyway?
What they fail to realize BJ was putting all the rumors and notions to bed of why he didn't take jobs these last couple of hiring cycles and for the local media to stop asking him the same questions
What were the rumors?
@@JWLSports That he wanted 15 million a year was one and then that he interviewed poorly then that he was not a great personality these where by Schefter and Ian Rapoport. He was just trying to make things clear.
Ohhh. I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know!
True. He’s clear, direct and honest. Breath of fresh air
Yep JWL
If I was an owner of an NFL team, I would hire Ben Johnson in a heartbeat, If he would take it. I would appreciate his honesty, his conviction, and the fact that he is all in when he says he’s all in.
He also alluded to the fact that he will grow in his capacity to coach an NFL team by waiting and that he is in no rush. He is only 38 years old.
I honestly dont understand what the issue was. Ben was clear and honest. I think the talking heads were upset because BJ didnt leave anything to speculation. He just told told all owners and GMs dont call me if the job is not real, and your organization is not ready and i would prefer to call my plays. I love where i am, i love the ppl i work with, and i love the direction my team is headed.
I guess they just wanted him to stay silent? I really don't know. The pushback is weird to me, It's not like he called out any other coaches, owners, or teams.
@@JWLSports no it's like you said and why your channel was created .. they each are assigned a black and white opinion and they have to manufacture drama ... It's "ducking" annoying for those who don't enjoy Jerry Springer television....
Haters never understand a thinking man 💯
The thing about Dan, Brad, Shiela, AG, Ben, basically the entire organization, is they are honest and they will never throw a player or one another under the bus. This organization is full of smart, honest, people dedicated to one thing. Bring home a Lombardi for the fans of Detroit. And sometimes they have to explain to local media, who are very very good for the most part, and SOL fans, what it’s like to be a well run successful organization with coaches that teach players how to perform at an elite level. A lot of fans have never seen this before. And when you’re part of a great organization, relish it, embrace it, enjoy the ride, live in the moment. Just moving on to move on is not a smart move. And besides he’s seen how much work it takes to turn around an organization first hand. And it’s a team effort. It takes a large staff and a lot of contacts to build that organization. From a practical side, Ben needs to interview for head coaching jobs to prepare to be a successful head coach. And honestly, he’s interviewing the owners and their organization just as they are interviewing him. Btw, Julian you get it, 🎯💯 😉😉😉😉
I hate the media , “do you agree with his reasoning?” Like who gives af? He has the right to stay where he feels wanted and has a chance at a Super Bowl. People are so annoying
Yes people are pretty weird some of the old lions coaches in the past did not like the media.
Yawn!!! He's here and all in. Nothing burger!
This is unnecessary divisiveness.
Haha it's typical summer NFL content!
@@JWLSports Would like to hear serious dialog about how the NFC North has rolled up their sleeves to compete with the Lions?
I'll stay tuned. 💪👍
Oh I have big! Search my channel I have plenty of videos on the lions, packers, bears, and Vikings.
What most people fail to realize about Computer Science schooling - is we often encapsulate things within other things ... This was an interview, this was flexing, this was creating confidence in future owners to hire this guy because he's calculated and well planned - and assigning and setting variables up for the future... This was genius by Ben Johnson - everything he said was precisely articulated based on a premeditated plan - exactly as he intended. Verbal diarrhea? The guy who said that isn't at the level of someone who owns an NFL football team nor does he have the aptitude those who hire Head Coaches maintain. He's simply in a different class - quite literally... Ben Johnson runs what I call the If This Then That Offense and I nearly want to create a channel just to follow and show how he's changing football...
Haha yeah it was weird to me these guys had such an issue with what he said. I found it in no way controversial or an issue at all!
Couldn’t agree more with everyone you said, you are 1000% correct. Very well said
He knows the Detroit Lions are on the verge of winning a Superbowl!
Ben Johnson?
they would have been over the verge if not for 4th down nimrod campbell
It almost seems like the media haven't come to grips with what BradHolmes has built in Detroit. Why would you want to leave a team this complete,with continuity and culture, which you helped to turn around and now are potentially on the brink of doing something great, only to suddenly go back to where you started?
Whats wrong with staying where your at and waiting for the right opportunity, not the 1st one especially if your family is happy and content where they are at.. i dont see a problem with betting on himself and waiting for the right opportunity, theres nothing cocky about waiting for the best opportunity for you and your family
I totally agree!
The media was hounding him about staying. He had to keep going. I don’t blame him, he told the truth.
Nothing wrong with the truth!
DAMN! BJ was brutally honest and most importantly correct. This media team just feel a little hate on his response to the question. He is on the brink of something speacial where he is. Unfinished buisness to be completed🤔
mmhmm!
This was AWESOME to hear by Ben Johnson and he’s 1000% right. He’s going to become a HC if he WANTS it.
An owner isn’t going to care about this snippet when an opening appears.
So as fans and media we want athletes and coaches to say what’s on their minds and be “more human” and then when they do, they got blasted for it? Hahaha
I know right? Like only the media thinks they are allowed to speak honestly. Plus he didn't say anything wrong. It's not like he took shots at Seatle or Washington.
@@JWLSports yea, it’s not surprisingly that someone from ESPN had to say something stupid like this. He’s jealous for sure haha
Thank you for saying what I’ve been saying for years bro…. I wish you were in Detroit so we could do a show together sometime. I think we would have a little to much fun with it. These mainstream media morons ain’t ready for us! Brotha!!!
Haha you're welcome! Maybe one day I'll be big enough to do like a national tour!
Or just have a Detroit guy do a segment for you like me.. Since the lions are going to win the Super Bowl this season.. I have a really nice Apple computer which I could do videos on for you..
The media doesn’t like the fact that Ben Johnson is happy where he’s at. If they don’t like what he’s saying then don’t cover it. Apparently Ben Johnson has to spell it all out for them for them to even understand it. What a bunch of dweebs
They hate it because they can no longer use the "send him to Detroit!" Meme.
You make a good presentation, with a reasoned point of view. And it's distinctive. Nice job.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Well, if the media stop talking about him. He wouldn't have to say nothing
I'm a lions fan. Never seen you before but I love your takes. Just common sense that I wish was more prevalent. I liked and subscribed to keep up the good work
Thank you so much! I really really appreciate it! And don’t worry, I have plenty of lions videos and will have plenty of more in the future! They’re a top team in my eyes.
the worst is Canty's take on this, what a bad reaction. Johnson was only speaking the truth. and actually + he wants to win a SB. this will increase his credentials more. I dont understand alot of how espn does their sports content. like he said, espn is verbal diarrhea. look at get up, same topics everyday, same stories talked about over and over. this espn radio is the same. it is sad that the macafee show is turning into the same dribble. when will this cable sports crap die...
Theyll criticize a coach for giving a non-answer....and apparently criticize for giving a lengthy, truthful answer. You cant win.
He said what he said
They still going after him his records speak for itself
Management throws coaches under the bus when things don't go well. Sure, you can take the bag of money, be a whipping boy for 3 years, and get canned like 70% of coaches do... or you can vet the organization and pass. I think it's really smart what he's doing. I wish I had done that with a couple of jobs I've had.
Do you think Dave Canales is gonna still be the Panthers coach in the 2026 season? I don't... and I don't think he's the problem.
That's my OC!!! I friggin love that guy!!
He’s definitely elite!
He said nothing wrong. Part of getting a job is setting yourself up for long term success. There’s no reason for him to rush… there will be potentially better HC jobs open in the future. These guys on TV just want generic answers and are being weird. The Lions are better than they’ve been in 30 years.. so why walk away from a good thing until you’re 100% sure?
I totally agree!
Well said!
Thank you!
So honesty is bad?
Haha only when done from anyone else but the media.
Those panelists are why I don't watch that channel. Verbal diarrhea indeed.
I was a drug abuse counselor as well. You hit the nail on the head. I either worked for a place that was absolute chaos but I made money or I worked for a place that was a tightly controlled power domination control thing and made no money or work for a place that was a genuinely good place for clients and staff and invariably they were closed within the year for making no money. Lol brutal.
Absolutely my experience! It’s crazy. It’s like D/A goes out of their way to make everyone fail. And then they’re shocked the burnout rate is so high as well as relapses.
I think Ben Johnson is going to be the Lions OC for the foreseeable future. I think DC Aaron Glenn will be around for a couple of more years. Both of them want to be the next HC in Detroit bu it will likely be Ben Johnson that will be able to stick around long enough to wait out Dan Campbell. Aaron Glenn is considerably older than Ben Johnson so his window of opportunity to become a HC is considerably shorter than Ben Johnson's. I suspect AG will be around this year and next year, even if the Lions win the SB this year. AG is a shrewd customer; most DC's who win a SB think their max worth is at it's apex and will jump right into a HC position the very next year. I think if the Lions win the SB this year AG's gonna look around and say, "ya know what, the Lions have the best shot at winning the SB next year too". What do you think AG's worth as a HC would be if he wins two SB's in a row? I think AG would be able to command a lot more money and maybe some level of control over player personnel decisions. Ben Johnson is in his 30's, he loves play calling as an OC so he can continue to do what he loves to do for as long as he wants. I suspect if Johnson is still here in 3 years the Lions will slap him with the Associate HC title and they'll probably pay him as well as some HC's around the league. GM Brad Holmes and Owner Sheila Hamp - (Thank God she dropped Ford from her name) - want him to stay too. Looking at the owner, the GM and front office, the Coaches and the Players, its pretty easy to see the Lions are set up for a very long run of success.
I think Ben will be gone next season if legit openings are there. Like Bills, Eagles, Cowboys, Bears (I know I know) etc.
No you know what Brad Johnson just told the NFL? you want me? You better have your s*** together before I leave something this good
Haha very true!
Could simply be the guy wants to get a ring. People forget, the coaches are just as competitive as the players
Yeah but coaches want a ring as a head coach more than anything.
Big Deal 😊
How can o get in contact with you
Ben wants to see how Detroit unfolds and he’s loyal to DC
The moment a job that opens up that he wants he will take it. That’s just how it works.
After listening to the guy in the middle, since when is it NOT necessary to be honest about how he views the hiring process, cause he’s already been through quite a few, but with mixed feelings, I think this guy wasn’t prepared to welcome his decision and then personally branded him as an outcast, was just all rhetorical/ pre mature
Imagine if Andy Reid retires in a couple years and BJ becomes his head coach
lol not happening.
It's amazing how some of the media people are so arrogant backseat drivers nothing but negativity always have to put somebody down play yes they would have no clue how to run a team play but yet they know it all I like Julian he's not arrogant very professional
Well thank you! I really appreciate it!
I would totally stay in a lower position if I were part of a powerhouse. I'd want to keep that train rolling for as long as possible, especially if I loved doing what I was doing as much as BJ does.
Yeah but he will definitely be leaving sooner than later for sure.
@@JWLSports maybe, maybe not. When you find a team you work so well with, it's tough to leave them, they become family.
I agree. But these guys want to be head coaches and run their own team.
@@JWLSports not all of them.
Ben Johnson wants to be a HC. He’s very clear about that. There’s not a single OC in the NFL who hasn’t been a HC already who doesn’t want to be a HC someday.
Talking heads with absolutely nothing worth saying , blah fucking blah
Damn straight. Many of us fans are tired of the black and white absolutes. These clowns
ripping BJ for being honest? It’s good this is the future headline. If people don’t get him he won’t play for them. Come on. The Commanders were a set up for failure for him. Watch and see.
I love the hate. He can just stay in Detroit. We'll keep him as long as he wants to coach. Thanks!
Haha fair enough
But in reality I really don't think Ben Johnson cares either way.. play I believe he's really comfortable with where he's at and I think he feels that if the opportunity is open at the right time then he'll probably take it but if it's not he's not losing any sleep.. like he almost just doesn't care.. I just think he's trying to enjoy himself and what he has in Detroit but it's the media that's blowing the subway more than what I even think he cares to even throw at the situation itself tbh.. turn the media comes off like they're mad or feel some type of way towards Ben Johnson because he didn't take a job and then leave the Lions.. 😅 its pathetic..
Ben*
@@Sam16Walker yea, I knew that lol.. damn voice messager.. thx anyways
Quit asking dumb questions what they talking about the world hates honesty
What do you mean?
For sure, its a pick a side world, sometimes its just not that simple or correct.
Mmhmm!
Verbal diarrhea!! LOL Why so Serious!! I
🤷♂️
Dude shut up Ben Can say what he want
Guess what we still have him ...Lions Pride I'm glad you didn't want to be a failure and we go on to win the superbowl with out you..
Without who?
Stop overreact what Ben Johnson said
Me?
@@JWLSportsNot you, the other 2 guys.
Haha ok
