Yeah I totally get it. You don’t wanna get stuck in the coaching carousel and I get that concern haha, it’s a gamble either way they choose lol

I just never agreed with hand picking Mayo years ago to be Bill’s successor. He hardly has held even a coordinator position, he had zero experience, and I just didn’t understand not even interviewing anyone at all or to just consider someone outside the organization. It was a confusing hire from the start. It’s not just him, I hated keeping Wolf as GM too. It was dumb to be a top 3 bottom team and to keep everyone BUT Bill.

And after year 1, they went from 3rd worst to first worst team. Mayo’s defense (his speciality) regressed to league worst, the offense with better QB play is just as bad, and every week he or players make dumb comments and have to spend the week walking them back. It’s a disorganized mess, and I literally don’t know what Mayo even does.

I don’t want to be stuck as a bottom of the league team and in a coaching carousel, but I also don’t believe in Mayo, Wolf, AVP, Covington, enough to run it back another year. I feel confident we’d be in the same spot this next time year. Ill take the gamble on clearing house and PRAYING Kraft doesn’t cheap out again and seriously tries to bring in the right people, but ya never know lol

 

By all means, it’s on Kraft more than anybody. Promoting from within on a bottom 3 team ain’t a recipe for success lol

 

Ben Johnson staying in Detroit would be equal parts funny and tiring

 

I dunno what incentive he has really going to a dumpster fire franchise. He can continue to be one of the highest paid assistants and remain relatively anonymous knowing he has a shield in Campbell for any failures while continuing to get all the praise for the offense's success.

 

The thing that worries me about Mayo is:

A) The media stuff. Dude just can not figure out how to convey a clear message.

B) it’s not just that the roster is bad. It is. But even the decent players we had are regressing. Stevenson and Dugger look like shells of themselves and Onwenu is JAG right now.


And then you have to consider opportunity cost. It’s not just “does Mayo DESERVE to be fired.” It’s “is there a coach available that can help stabilize and build this thing up quicker, so we get the most out of Drake Maye.”

I don’t think you fire him just to do it, but I assume through back channels they have an idea of how Vrabel and Johnson and some of the other top tier candidates feel about the job and if the inkling is you can get one of them, I think you have to strongly consider it.

 

Just saw a guy buy $1,000 worth of fan duel gift cards with a credit card. Seems like that should be illegal.

 

Since when is investing illegal?

 

Fox nfl Sunday just told me teams are gonna try to trade for Kevin o connell

 

There are worse ways to invest a 1st round pick lol

 

Who are the Vikings going to get then?

 

Would probably be the best situation for Ben Johnson

domed stadium, draft capital, Darnold or McCarthy (built in expectations check with McCarthy if things dont go well)

but you already have a good HC, so whatever

 

Yeah how dumb of the Vikings if they don’t resign him imo

 

lol that would be so dope, but the Vikings are laughing people right off that call

 

Cute pipe dream for teams

 

Schefter, a mouthpiece for owners, is leaning out on Mayo

 

Euphemism?

 

He saw how many interviews Dave had to do and realized he might have even more and decided he’s good

 

The problem this presents is the job now is VERY undesirable. You mentor a guy for years to take over, know that your roster is in bad shape, give him a terrible first draft, and then can him after one year where you knew you were going to be bad?

 

It has to be a full clean house or else yeah

 

It's Florio. Johnson mightve resigned lol

 

Keeping Schoen is crazy lol

 

If Mayo is out, everyone would be out and it becomes a desirable job.

 

Oh okay no GM then yeah Johnson is on the table. It'll be Jags, Pats, or Lions then

 

I would hope Drake Maye on a rookie contract, #1 overall pick, a ton of cap, and the hope of bringing in your own staff/GM is enough to be a top choice this time around.

Ben Johnson, please listen.

(Still feel like he would go for the Jags job over like the Bears but who knows)
