In a shocking revelation, former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has been exposed for reaching out to former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen while still employed by the Lions. This stunning move has left Lions fans outraged, feeling that Johnson was already looking to abandon ship despite being in the midst of a Super Bowl push.
According to Allen, Johnson reached out to him late in the 2024 season to inquire about potentially working together. “At some point as we got later in the season, he reached out to me just to see if I would be interested,” Allen revealed. “I told him that I would be interested.”
Lions fans are fuming over Johnson’s actions, feeling that he was disloyal to the team and its players. “It’s a slap in the face to the organization and the fans,” said one disgruntled fan. “He was supposed to be focused on winning a Super Bowl, not looking for his next job.”
Allen, who has since joined the Chicago Bears as their defensive coordinator, expressed his excitement about working with Johnson. “I just feel like I had connections to Ben, although I didn’t really know him,” Allen said. “I think him leaning on those guys in reference to me and me leaning on those guys in reference to him, we both felt like this was a really good fit.”
The controversy surrounding Johnson’s actions has sparked a heated debate among Lions fans, with many calling for accountability and others defending Johnson’s right to explore future opportunities.
