And there's a lot that's going to play out and a lot that's still going to change.
I don't see it. Ben Johnson... has turned down two years of opportunities. And I don't care who you are in this league. At some point, you have to take the plunge. The money is too great. The opportunities are too great. You can't keep turning down jobs year after year. And again, the Lions might be this good again next year. They might be. But this is the NFL. They might not.
And if they're not and he doesn't take one, well, all of a sudden you're on your coordinator salary as opposed to a head coaching salary of anywhere between, I don't know, 10, 11, $12 million a year. There's just too much money to turn it down again. I don't believe it's going to happen. I believe he's taking a head coaching job this year.
That's why you have agents, though. That's why you have agents to go over that and gather all the information and... Find out the answers to the questions while you're coaching the game. Like, that's an agent's job. And he presents everything to you boiled down so that you can then sit down with your wife and figure out what's best before you're going into it. He has an idea of all that.
Like, we're not oblivious to this. He knows what each organization is about. And by the way, yes, he's getting ready to coach in an incredibly important postseason where the Lions can make history and have an unbelievable, memorable run for that city. But But he's a human being. He also is aware that there is a career-altering option in front of him.
So, of course, there's going to be some thought given to that.
Here's what I say to that, honestly. Tom Brady has spoken to Ben Johnson. He'll go through this in the interview. Do you think he's going to sit down there this weekend while Ben's getting ready for the biggest game of the season and be like, if you come to Vegas, here's what we're going to do. What do you think? Tom Brady is a professional. Ben Johnson is a professional.
They're not doing that this weekend. I know there are sensitive people, but I think you have to be practical about it. What are we talking about?
Correct. It would be a little weird if we used that time for the Raiders. It'll be Kevin Burkhart. It'll be all the producers, the directors, Aaron Andrews, Tom Rauch. They're all around there.
There will be a leak. If he actually does that. They wanted me for a glass of wine later? Do you really think they need to do that? What are they going to go over there that they haven't before or couldn't in the future? What do they have to do with that moment that has to get done the night before the commanders play the Lions?
I'll just say this big cat. Yeah. I don't know how it's going to go yet, but here's what I would say. He may not be a bear. Absolutely. That's possible. But I would just say right now at this stage of the process right now, Don't lose the faith.
Did anything happen this year that there is to go over? I don't know. We'll find some stuff.
It's never happened before. I don't see them changing it any time in the future. The league is always looking at ways to innovate and improve. But I've heard this complaint. Remember the year where The Seahawks won the division with a horrible record. It was like 500. And then the Saints had a much better record and had to go to Seattle for the opening wildcard game.
And that turned out to be the Beastquake game where Marshawn Lynch had one of the most memorable runs in NFL history. And the sound level in that stadium matched a new world record. The league is intent upon winning. rewarding division winners. I don't see that changing anytime soon. Okay, good. Good. Division should matter. Yes.
Now, could the league... Nobody said this, but we're just talking out loud logically. Could they then say, okay, we're going to have the division winners host games, and then after that...
will recede i i don't know does that even make sense i maybe i don't know but i've never heard any momentum or movement to change the way the playoff seating system works okay perfect that's what i wanted to hear i appreciate that response yep that's the correct response all right well shefty you're the best we'll see in maybe we'll see in new orleans but we'll also see hold on
That's where he's most dangerous, right? Six comebacks in the final 10 seconds of games this year. No rookie quarterback ever has done that. He's become like a modern-day Joe Montana, John Elway with... the ability to improvise and run around. Guy's been incredible. And one person there said, he covers up for a lot of our sins.
Let me start by saying this. If I'm Cliff Kingsbury, And I'm happy right now. I'm in no rush to leave Jaden Daniels. I know I've got arguably the best young player in football on my roster. And so if something materialized and it was ideal and it was great, sure. I don't know that he's looking to rush back into that world. I think he's still being paid by Arizona.
He doesn't have to... It's not going to impact his bottom line any. There's a lot of stress on that. I don't know that he's going to get one. I don't know that he really wants one. I don't know that he cares about one. I think he cares about playing the Lions right now. And we'll see how that process plays itself out. Like I said, to me, Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, getting two of the six openings.
Now we're down to four openings. You can go try to figure out... who those other four guys are going to be that are going to fill up those head coaching jobs. One of them is Dallas, wild card. We'll see how Jerry Jones thinks. Now we're down to three. So we got Brian Flores. We got Joe Brady. We got Liam Cohn. We got...
