The NFL coaching carousel is beginning to spin, with Black Monday arriving and coaches getting fired. Jobs are opening up across the league, which creates fresh intrigue surrounding who will coach where, and how teams will align their coaching staffs with their NFL draft and free agency strategies. Organizations needs to bring their philosophy in alignment with their specific team needs and 2024 goals. We will soon learn about the thought processes for the various organizations making big structural changes.
Caleb Williams is preparing for the NFL draft. He is surely aware of the draft order, which became official on Sunday after the conclusion of the regular season. He knows the Chicago Bears are on the clock and that the Washington Commanders have the No. 2 pick. Those teams are likely to have new offensive coordinators in 2024. They might both have new head coaches as well, but we need to see what happens.
As Caleb considers where he will go — and what kind of situation he will step into — he probably would like playing for Ben Johnson, the current offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions.
Johnson is a head coaching candidate. The odds are good that he will become a head coach in this NFL coaching carousel cycle. He has made Jared Goff a solid quarterback for a division-winning team which notched a 12-5 regular-season record. The Lions are about to play their first home playoff game in multiple decades this coming Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
If Ben Johnson can make Jared Goff look good, he can certainly make Caleb Williams soar.
Which team will get Ben Johnson? That’s the big question. The follow-up question: Will the team which picks Ben Johnson then trade up to No. 1 to get Caleb Williams as the quarterback for Ben Johnson?
It will be fascinating to see how this all plays out. Caleb Williams is definitely following this NFL drama. It will hugely affect his professional future.
