He is an expert at the spread attack. He even took a year off to learn the ins and outs at Oregon State.

Johnson, 42, is considered one of the game’s bright young coaches. Yet, he found himself unemployed last season after Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh replaced him with Jim Hostler as receivers coach.

now if we could only get speed in our secondary...hmmm i wonder who we have that has speed....

Is Mark Roman still available?

lmao if only we could put his head into a younger person body....that way he would actually be in position as opposed to knowing where to be but not being able to get there lol

Isn't mike Johnson a fan of the spread?

Johnson, 43, spent the 2008 season out of football before joining the 49ers' staff last year as quarterbacks coach. During his time away from the game, he studied aspects of the college spread offense and how it can apply to the NFL game.

Johnson visited Ohio State, where he spent time with coach Jim Tressel and quarterbacks coach Joe Daniels, his former mentor at Akron. Johnson played football at Akron. He also met with Ron Zook’s staff at Illinois. Johnson said last year that he saw Illinois’ spread offense as the most applicable to the NFL game because of the Illini’s ability to run the ball successfully.

"Mike has everything it takes to be a successful coordinator or head coach in the NFL," Oregon State coach Mike Riley told me last year. "He's got the attention to detail, the character, charisma and physical presence. He's the complete package as a coach and person."

Riley's relationship with Johnson began in 1991 as head coach of the San Antonio Riders of the now-defunct World League of American Football. Johnson was among the Arizona Cardinals' final cuts in 1990 before signing with the Riders. Riley later hired Johnson to serve on his coaching staffs with Oregon State and the Chargers.

Look like there might be a football god....Hopefully this turns out to be good.

We'll see. We know now that Johnson's a guy who will want to throw the ball, so if we still see dive left, dive right, incomplete pass, punt, we'll know it was Sing pulling the strings all along.

a SPREAD GUY.....we'll see. I wanna see how creative Mike Johnson will get.

Depends how much leash Singletary gives him.

i dont think singletary will have much say over the offense anymore

How long before the "Fire Mike Johnson" threads start? Im all for getting rid of Raye but Im not holding my breath that Mike Johnson will be a good OC.

AGREED my friend. I am not much for inexperience at this juncture I want guys with LOTS of coaching experience with a winning petigree to coach this squad period.

Will singletary ALLOW Mike Johnson to be creative??? I hope so, but I doubt it.

Hopefully Johnson's playcalling will be long and distinguished.

If Johnson isn't given some autonomy nothing will change. Whoever fired Raye, and I am assuming it was Jed, needs to tell Johnson "do what you want to do". Then he needs to tell Singletary he told Johnson as much and tell Singletary "hands off". Otherwise Singletary is going to tell Johnson to do what he told Raye to do. Johnson has no rep but you might as well tell him "have a ball". If you are going to get canned at the end of the season it might as well be for what you did instead of what you were told to do. Unless Johnson works some miracles with the O we're looking at a whole new staff.

Too bad all that speed is paired with hands of stone.

This, they would drop everything.. or help give alex more Tip drill INT's


I think Johnson will look good, i feel sing got a call from Jed York, and now he is on notice.. He will change his ways, just like nolan did when he hired martz.. he knew his balls were on the chopping block.

There were times last season that Singletary indicated that he was willing to let the players have input into the offense as long as they make good and show good results. I think Mike is capable of that this year with Mike Johnson and the players. I all comes down to turnovers. If we have 2 or less a game Sing may be able to live with it. But 4 or more he surely will jump in and tell Johnson to be uber conservative.

From what Maiocco said, the team is already confident in MJ. They probably like the fact that he's younger, he can relate more to the players, and way more open minded.

It was Singletary's only move, but after Sunday's game I didn't think he'd do it. Johnson has earned players' trust. He's very sharp.
