Any interest in JIM Johnson as our next HC?

As in, Philly's Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson. I know he'd have the same issues as Zimmer, regarding the switch from the 43 to the 34, but he's certainly proven more creative than Zimmer as a DC and I'd have to believe that he'd thrive with a Defensive scheme as versatile as the 34.

If we're fortunate enough to land Crennel as our DC next year, this may be a moot point, but I think there should be some consideration of Johnson to replace Parcells. He knows the division and always seems to put a competitive squad on the field. I know they've had run defense issues this year, but Jerry's willing to pay to keep players, unlike Philly, which should allow him to maintain some continuity.

Just a thought.

Campo was a great DC. Not so much as head coach. Not every great coordinator makes a great HC.

That's my dream too. I just hope the Browns are stupid enough to fire him.

J. Johnson is a great DC.......but as a HC, I have my doubts.

Look at Richie Petibone and Dave Wanstadt for other examples.

Our next head coach should be young and energetic and have fresh Idea's and If he's good stay around for a long time, not this I'm not sure I want to come back I need to get re energized stuff that Parcells pulls every year.

Of course if Jimmy said he wanted to come back...Disregard the age thing I just said and OK maybe the stay a long time thing too...but the fresh Idea and energy thing Jimmy can handle.:D

How about our new DC instead?

Are you kidding, Parcells wouldn't let him run the Defense anyway...Because nobody knows how to run the 3-4 like Parcells.:rolleyes:

I would take him though. The guy knows how to Blitz bigtime.

Exactly. He and Tom Moore the OC with Indy both have no interest in Head Coaching gigs.

If he's all that, then we have no chance to get him as he wends his way to the HOF.
