Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks

Look, as someone who's had to report a lot of crappy news to you over the last few weeks, I think this will be – I think it's good for you. Okay. I think when the print balking news broke, you're back. You're back. Yeah, right. I think Ben Johnson still has a lot of questions about management in both of those organizations, which I think is pretty well known at this point. There are questions.

Ryan Poles is leading the search. Ryan Poles is not going anywhere. I think there's some Chicago people who believe he's going to get fired at some point here when the search ends. Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles are in lockstep in this search. And they 100% have their eye on Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel, for sure, as their top candidates.

So, you know, let's say in this world, and it would be, I guess, Hank's best world. Graves goes to New England. Yeah, I think Ben Johnson, the chance of him landing in Chicago are much better now that Tremblake is in Jacksonville, which if you're a Jags fan, it's like, oh my goodness, are you kidding? What are we doing?

What are we doing? But I'm interested to hear what happens after these interviews because you find out a lot about these organizations and what their plans are and how they envision themselves and what the philosophies are. And when you find out what kind of questions they've been asking. Yeah. So we'll see what they're after.

I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said it because I had somebody yesterday text me, was like, hey, don't forget, there's a world where Ben Johnson stays and looks at this coaching cycle and goes, this is not for me. This is not what I'm signing up for.

I wanted to come back to Detroit to just watch not only this team get back, but watch how they handle success because that's another part of growth as a coach of not just dealing with the problems, dealing with when things are good and how to manage your team and how to make good coaching decisions. So I appreciate that emotional maturity. But at some point here, you got to jump in the pool. Yeah.
