The path to success for the Chargers starts with hiring Ben Johnson away from Detroit (alien.top)

What Ben has been able to accomplish with Goff is nothing short of spectacular. It’s worth pointing out that Detroit has a stout and experienced OL, with good weapons across the board, but I think an offensive mind like Johnson could really unlock something special in LA.

This Chargers team obviously needs to figure things out defensive above anything else, but I believe that they’re 1 solid coordinator away from making major strides in that area. They have elite level talent at key positions (Bosa, Mack, James, etc.)

Thoughts?

I see we're now moving away from the "Ben Johnson is doing really incredible work and we should be giving him credit" phase and into the "Ben Johnson is the magical solution that will fix any bad team" phase.

I think adding Ben Johnson would probably make the Chargers much better, but I also thought that adding Kellen Moore would make the Chargers much better and that hasn't (yet) materialized.

Sometimes football personnel decisions are more complicated than "hire a guy who is doing well and expect him to perform exactly as well (or better) in a completely different situation"
