00:03 So Boomer, just about an hour and a half ago on your own show, Boomer and
00:07 Gio on WFAN, you were talking about the Lions offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson.
00:13 Of course, his Detroit team in action in the NFC Championship game on Sunday
00:17 evening in Santa Clara against the 49ers.
00:20 And you said that Ben Johnson is going to be the next head coach of
00:24 the Washington Commanders.
00:26 Of course, the Lions in action on Conference Championship Sunday.
00:30 To the best of your knowledge,
00:32 how is this process playing out between the commanders and Ben Johnson?
00:36 >> Well, I think that there's a relationship there between Adam Peters,
00:39 their new GM, and Ben somewhere along the line.
00:42 I knew that when he was named GM that it was a really good chance
00:48 that Ben would definitely be the head coach of the commanders.
00:50 Now that hasn't been officially put out there by the commanders because it can't,
00:54 because Ben is still working.
00:56 But I firmly believe in my heart that he will be the next coach of
00:59 the Washington Commanders.
01:00 And if I'm wrong, I'll come on here when Ben's season is over,
01:04 whether that be all the way through the Super Bowl or
01:06 after they play the 49ers this weekend and apologize.
01:09 But I do believe in my heart that he is going to be hired by the commanders.
01:13 And that's why I went on my show this morning and basically said it was
01:17 a slam dunk that he's gonna be the head coach.
01:19 So hopefully I'm not gonna look like an idiot in the next couple weeks.
