Just watched Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee show. He talked glowingly about Mike McCarthy in several ways. Leadership, development, accountability, innovation and collaboration...
Caleb was on the St Brown Brothers podcast. He said he wants a leader of men, offensive guru and someone that matches his aggressive nature. Near the end he all but said he wanted Ben.
The problem I've seen with coaches following "high personality guys" is that the second act doesn't play the same. Vrabel is the only one from the Belichick tree to break through. Flores tried to be a dick like Bill and failed. Who off the Reid tree can match match his goofy swag? Who off of either Harbaugh brothers tree is there? Tomlin tree is non-existent. The only trees we hear about today is shamanism Shanahan and McVey.
It was a lot of blah blah to get here, but if we hire Ben Johnson, there is no way we can imagine him having that monster personality of Dan Campbell. Can he learn fatherly lessons? Yes. Johnson will just have to do it his authentic way or it will come off disingenuous.
I don't believe that at all. If he believes what we all believe, that George meddles, I would hesitate. There are monetary, personnel and power dynamics as well. He has Cinderellas slipper right now...
