Allen Park — In his first public comments since withdrawing his name from head coaching interview opportunities, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson joined a podcast on the team's official website and detailed his experiences being considered for top jobs, the interview process and why he's more than happy to remain with the Lions in 2023.
Johnson was a candidate for three head coaching jobs this offseason, interviewing with the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and Carolina Panthers prior to removing his name from consideration. From the beginning of the process to its end, Johnson raved about the support of his boss, Lions coach Dan Campbell.
