If a HC can't see the opportunity the Saints job offers him, then he's not the right coach. The city, state, area and fans are hard working resilient fans who run toward people in need. That's what I remember growing up down there, in during/after Katrina, every other hurricane that has affected the area and most recently with the terrorist attack in the French Quarter. The team doesn't need a HC who is scared to take that on, the team needs a HC who runs toward the opportunity to help.
If Ben Johnson is turning down the hard jobs, then he can stay where he's at, he's obviously not built the same.
