"Johnson, 38, has seen his stock soar among NFL coaching circles since taking over as offensive coordinator of the Lions in 2022. He has led a dynamic Detroit offense over the last three seasons, with the Lions entering this postseason first in the league in points (564). While Detroit averaged 33.2 points per game this season, the Patriots have yet to surpass 30 points in a single game since 2022."
"New England might have to wait weeks if it wants to make a serious push for a second interview with Johnson - considering the Lions are viewed as a legitimate Super Bowl contender. While The Athletic noted on Wednesday that Vrabel is considered the 'front-runner' for the Patriots' head-coaching vacancy, a young, offensive-minded coach like Johnson might offer the highest ceiling among potential hires."
