[Florio speculates about] Raiders and Ben Johnson as HC
 

AFC West has to be the division with the best coaches, right? Andy, Harbaugh, Payton, and now potentially a gifted player caller in Ben Johnson...

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">For the past six days, talk has been intensifying that the Raiders will hire Ben Johnson.

Still pure speculation. Still not buying it. There's a reason he's still the overwhelming favorite to be the Bears HC, which makes more sense.

Also, Florio has zero sources.

Who?

And if he does it after waiting years for the right job, he’s a ****ing clown

What’s that say about your head coach if he just gawks over Tom Brady and that makes his career choices for him LMAO

This guy might be more connected to the Raiders...I think what's possibly driving Johnson's interest in the Raiders is Brady.

You'd think he'd rather see what he could do with Caleb Williams than whoever the Raiders manage to scrape into their QB room

Just about everything I've seen says this guy is nothing more than a mouthpiece for Vegas.

Florio.

Oh...it's Florio?

Get the **** outta here, then...

Wake me one someone who knows his ass from a hole in the ground has something to say.

As for Johnson to Oakland...aight. Send him someplace that doesn't have a QB or any weapons to speak of. I mean I'd rather the division suck horribly, but if that guy wants to take Mark Davis's money to be completely irrelevant in a loaded division he deserves to fail.

There are paths to relevance in the NFL.

Joining the one team in the AFC West that has NOTHING at the QB position ain't among 'em.

That would be a major move by Brady but what's there for Ben Johnson?


As shitty as Herbert played in the playoffs, Chargers will be good next year. Denver decent and the Chiefs are the premier NFL team.

I agree Chicago is the better choice, but it looks like the Bears are more interested in Mike McCarthy....

I can't remember where I saw it, but I once saw someone said "Florio's just being a ****. And a not terribly interesting or insightful one at that."

BRING OUT YOUR DEAD.... GONG

Gay

Raiders been sucking some johnson for a while now lmao got em
