[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1063529, member: 17987"] Hey man, you do you. I can respect the optimism. Personally I'm inclined to be a bit more pessimistic in these things, or at least a bit more....tempered expectations, but nothing wrong with being hopeful. Not much fun or point in being a fan IMO if you're only going to project doom and gloom all the time, lol. In general I think Johnson is a big exciting hire. He was the "big fish" this cycle, so you gotta get him, and props for getting it done. My only trepidation there is that there are a LOT of instances of coaches doing great as coordinators and struggling in a head coach capacity. I mean, lest we forget...nobody was saying "Eberflus couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag" before he took the job. Look just in recent history...Nagy was seen as a really promising up-and-coming coordinator with head coach potential. Andy Reid at the time said "he's the best head coach candidate I've ever had". Eberflus himself was a great DC who had been eyeballed as a head coach candidate for a while before Chicago hired him. Maybe neither had Ben Johnson-level hype, but they were both guys who folks thought had a lot of promise and potential as head coaches too. They weren't incompetent or unqualified or out of their depth until things really got going. So like I said, I like Johnson, and would hope and think that things would be different, but there is also reason to at least be a little wary... [/QUOTE]
