The new HC may be the actual game-day playcaller but he'll still allow Johnson free rein over the detailed planning.

It's a good ole boy network. It ain't happening. Coaches call the first people they know and their job is on the line so they aren't going to risk sticking with an "unknown" at what could be the most important coaching position on the team.

Okay, but it's not like Johnson just came off the streets considering his coaching background in Baltimore and Atlanta. The new HC may know him personally or know someone who would vouch for Johnson. And the OC position would probably be the lowest risk position for an offensive minded HC who calls his own plays because the HC is the de facto OC. I think it's plausible.

Raye's YPG- 310

Johnson's YPG-336
