Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has his sights set on a specific environment if he were to take a future heading coaching job.
Dianna Russini of The Athletic revealed on the latest episode of Scoop City that Johnson is focused on a team that is attempting to win immediately if he decides to leave Detroit.
"He wants to make sure he can succeed," Russini said (27:30 mark). "Which is smart. Look at these coaches that take these bad jobs. All you do is just take steps back and ruin your reputation."
The Lions currently sit at 13-2 and have clinched back-to-back seasons with a double-digit win total for the first time in franchise history, with Johnson playing a large role in the sudden prosperity.
