FRFR. Fraley needs the bag thrown at him by ownership, too
As long as the Fords pay him decent, he isn’t going anywhere. Most O line coaches don’t move up the coaching ladder.
The fear would be he goes with Ben. And I don’t think that’s unrealistic.
Hes been great but our O-line is so talented that I wouldn’t be that worried about it.
Reality is we definitely lose more than 1 coach if Johnson is hired as a HC. Happens every year
You can tell he’s a good O line coach by looking at him
We are now the team that bad teams come to and take coaches from. Weird being in this position.
You could argue that the work he’s done could make any OC successful. Most schemes make sense on paper if the guys blocking do what you planned
Fraley is a huge up and coming coach. What he has done with even our OL backups is incredible.
Pay him, and Sheila get that man the biggest baddest truck truck that Ford Makes.
O line is just as much about the players on the roster and it’s not super easy to just build an Oline like we have. I think most O line coaches would kill to have this job and have all the flexibility we have in that group to do some creative shit
Welcome to being a fan of a good franchise. If you trust Brad and Dan as much as y’all say you do, then they’ll make the right decisions on replacements for everyone.
Jeff Stoutland has been in Philadelphia under three coaches he’s and he’s regarded as the best o-line coach in the business. If he wants to stay here and the money is right, he’ll be here for as long as he wants.
Agreed. We need to pay him what he asks until we win a SB we’re about 3 seasons away tops!
Hasn’t he been with us for a min now?
Do we start the slander now?
Hank Fraley was the guy who originally put the bag of kittens in the dumpster that Ben Johnson (as we all know) set on fire. If I were an opposing NFL team I would think long and hard before hiring someone with those kind of character issues.
I think hank is likely leading candidate for OC when we lose Ben.
Please don’t take my Honeybun!
Need to make him our Scarnecchia
As someone rooting for the Lions from another state, (IE. Not privy to rumors and overall thoughts), do most fans view Johnson pretty much gone after this year? I can’t imagine some of these potential openings not putting him at the top of their lists.
I feel like there are lots of good skill players in the league we could drop in with our OLine and have a top tier offense. Even if we lose some of the skill guys, I think we can replace them and find success. Lions OLine for life though.
Give the coaching staff some rev share/equity which only pays them while they’re coaching for the lions. They’ll never leave
