Was Ben Johnson auditioning for this job next season?

[DallasEast]

What?

No photoshop?

I’m disappointed.

I'm squeezing my CowboysZone nonsense in as I work. It is a busy Monday, lol.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Is he bringing the Lions offensive personnel with him?

 

[JeffInDC]

They have $50 million in cap next season and likely a top ten pick

What’s crazy is a) if they rollover the bulk of the $20+M in ‘24 Cap Room and b) only restructure CeeDee, they could EASILY have over $60M in Cap Space…and that’s BEFORE extending Micah and not even touching Dak’s deal (so you can cut him in ‘26). THEY HAVE $$$$ TO SIGN PEOPLE!!!!! STOP FALLING FOR JERRY AND STEPHEN’S LIES!!!!!

Tyler Smith & Micah Parsons figure into any future cap discussions .

Yes I would say Ben Johnson looks like a top HC candidate for any number of teams in 2025 .

Read this and tell if this kind of hire Jerry will make..........

Ben may be a hot name but interestingly he does NOT have a lot of experience. My goodness, keep hearing the name but he doesn't have a strong resume at all.

Lack of experience is not what would stop Jerry Jones from not hiring Ben Johnson. Please excuse the double negative.

I'm sure about that ........see post #25

His resume isn't strong at all.......in fact, I don't see anything to suggest strong leadership.

All they’re going to do is whine about planning to re-sign Parsons, Tyler Smith and Bland. The last 12 years of free agency shows they’ll do nothing to VERY little with that 50 million in free agency

Why would any coach worth anything work under Jerry's circus.

The only coaches that come here are desperate or in need of money.

Broke and desperate, just the way Jerry likes them.

 

[KingCorcoran]

The issue is not who the Dallas Cowboys will consider to be their Head Coach in 2025. It’s who will consider being the Dallas Cowboys Head Coach in 2025. I doubt Dallas is the top choice of any of the top 10 candidates.

 

[DallasEast]

Jerry Jones: You're hired.
Ben Johnson: Thanks, Mr. Jones. Let's talk draft picks and free agents!
Jerry Jones: You can offer suggestions from the side chair in the draft war room. The Game of Thrones chair is mine.
Ben Johnson: Okay...
Jerry Jones: And no free agents that will cost me a mansion <wink wink>.
Ben Johnson: Sure thing. How about we get started on...
Jerry Jones: Can't right now, Ben. I smell a microphone nearby. Rain check?

Same as Jason Garrett's. You were saying..?

Bobby Slowik OC in Houston has Stroud slinging it around and for experience sake he was passing game Coordinator for Shanahan in SF before that .

The next HC has to get inside # 4 head and with 4 yrs then left in the contract for Prescott get the most out of him and build a 21st century offense around him . Get a running game together , take the young draft picks Dallas has invested in the OL and build on that get the most of the receivers and tight ends .

With the correct young offensive mind it would allow Dallas to also hire a young DC the new HC chooses , not Jerry and spend much of the draft next season on the defense .

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Would you want you first HC job in Dallas?

I didn't think so.

Ben Johnson is already famous for turning down a slam dunk HC gig, rumored to be about concerns over ownership

 

[MikeT22]

No, but Zimmer probably was.

Half of that is gone immediately resigning parsons

LOL......Garrett had a strong family connection with Jones. Come again....

His father also broke into the NFL with the Cowboys back in 1993.

Listen to me (lol) ....the next HC Jerry hires will have a strong relationship with him and/or Stephen OR a strong recommendation from someone they trust IMO.
