  It’s the tweet that broke the news. He didn’t even go to this scheduled NFL interviews!

  #Lions OC Ben Johnson informed interested teams he’s staying in Detroit, per sources.
  
  Johnson was slated to travel Wednesday to interview with the #Panthers. But he feels Detroit is building something special and wants to see it through. Should be a hot HC name again next year. pic.twitter.com/vUNLyKFtLf

  Love this one from Barstool Detroit! It’s very true. He’s staying in Detroit to help “build something special.”

  Ben Johnson was the leading candidate for multiple head coaching vacancies. Instead, he’s staying in Detroit to help “build something special.”
  
  The Brand New Lions have arrived.
