After the 2023 season concluded, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson emerged as a top contender for several vacant head coaching positions. The Washington Commanders, with their considerable draft capital and cap space, were considered by some as a potential destination for the adept offensive strategist.
However, according to ESPN reports, it appears that the 37-year-old faced challenges with the Commanders’ new ownership group. Insights suggest that Johnson was somewhat put off by the ownership, characterized as “basketball guys,” and he perceived them to be overly confident in their football opinions. Jenna Laine, sharing this information online, mentioned that there were concerns about Johnson not interviewing well. It seems that the dynamics were not a good fit for both sides, leading to a disconnect between Johnson and the Commanders’
ownership.
