Did Ben Johnson make the right decision to stay with the Lions? OnePride
. Johnson had been receiving serious interest for multiple head-coaching vacancies around the NFL. Johnson had already interviewed with the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans, and was scheduled to interview with the Carolina Panthers later this week. Johnson’s decision is admirable, but curiously foregoes the old “striking while the iron’s hot” mantra.
Despite entering the 2022 season as largely an unknown commodity, Johnson soared up the coaching ranks and was expected to land a head coaching gig this offseason. Johnson arguably put forth the best performance of any offensive or defensive coordinator in the country. Detroit’s offense wrote one of the most surprising storylines of the campaign.
The Lions ranked fifth in scoring, averaging 26.6 points per contest. They moved the ball with ease, averaging a fourth-ranked 380.0 yards per outing. The Lions finished with their first winning campaign since 2017 as a result. The 36-year-old Johnson was a first-year coordinator in 2022. He initially joined the Lions staff in 2019 as an offensive quality control coach before being promoted to tight ends coach in 2021. An ascending Johnson has his entire coaching career in front of him.
