00:00There's also not a golden candidate out there. There's a golden tape, but there's not a golden candidate for this job

00:08I think Ben Johnson is here's what I that's why I don't let him leave the room. Here's what I mean

00:12I I don't mean specifically

00:15Ben Johnson or any of them. I mean that with every single candidate we can look at them and go well

00:22It's not quite Goldilocks. Like you can look at Ben Johnson and go he's never been a coach before

00:28What does he look like when he doesn't have Dan Campbell or Aaron Glenn looking over his shoulder

00:32For guys that have been head coaches before like Vrabel and and and like Kingsbury we go

00:37Well with with Vrabel it didn't really end well in in Tennessee

00:42And he he might not be from a personality fit

00:46He might not be someone who can actually get the players to like them and play for him hard and with Kingsbury you go

00:52a lot of failures

00:54Inside of there when things were set up for him to be in a much better place

00:59All I mean is that any one of these guys we can nitpick the resume

01:05That's all I'm saying about there's no golden can absolutely even Ben Johnson

01:10Like I I have a lot of faith that he's going to succeed

01:13But I would understand anyone going. Well, are we sure it's him? Uh-huh

01:18And you know, there's a bunch of people texting in asking that question speaks

01:23Why are you so sure and Ben Johnson as opposed to Joe Brady or Liam Cohen and we'll talk about it down the road

01:29But I've talked to some people very close to Ben Johnson and have sourced some of that stuff earlier on in the season and we'll do

01:35So hopefully more in the offseason. I think that guy does have the leadership characteristics and personality to be a head coach
