I'd have immediately dismissed him as the next hot shit HC had he taken that job. That sort of poor judgment is just that bad.

The only thing that did was he could have gotten his pick at GM. The big question was what he thought of Poles and Caleb.

WTF does Ben Johnson know about hiring GMs?

Like I said, taking the Raiders job would've immediately soured me on him because it would've been just another example of a guy thinking his shit doesn't smell.

If he took a job as a first time HC because he could choose a GM, a job he knows NOTHING about, then he's the same sort of hard-headed, arrogant jackass that has failed in that role seemingly every single time.

Taking the Bears job shows a guy who has a better feel for how the league functions than I thought he might.
