    ProFootballtalk.com reports that Jimmy Johnson is flirting with a job with the Detroit Lions.
    The site nailed the Dan Reeves hire on Monday and this news comes from the same source. If Johnson ever made a return to coaching, he would likely also have personel control. That would be the end of Matt Millen. Dec. 13 - 2:51 pm et

    Go to profootballtalk.com where there's an article that states that McNair contacted Johnson about a job similar to Reeves' and Johnson turned him down due to his interest in Lions.

    That kinda sucks, but JJ wouldn't take a consulting job that may last only 6 weeks over head coaching job w/ possible GM powers.

    I honestly think JJ has the interest of returning to the sidelines and from his comments lately, I don't think the Texans are out of the question. Hopefully, McNair will give JJ a call at the end of the season and offer him the head coaching job.

    Just so everyone knows PFT is a little more reliable than the ESPN message boards, just a little.

    This is a fun site to read sometimes but take what Mike Florio says with a grain of salt, he's guessing 90% of the time and being used by agents the other 10%.

    Hmm. I wonder why he's got such a boner over the Detroit job.
