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

jimmy was one quoted as saying that if he returned to coaching it would be for the raiders, that he's always wanted to coach the silver and black

Al should phone JJ and say "You can have five years, you have complete control on personnel and the draft, now let's talk money...."

Lets be real and I don't want to burst any bubbles but JJ and AL can't co-exsist on the same team.JJ is going to want total control and Al will not give up his empire.Look for Al to get another puppet to coach the team.No money,no brain,no say= no winning.
