He took some time off after having a biopsy on his lymph nodes in his chest result in a severed vocal chord. After a couple years off, he returned to the booth as analyst for Westwood One's Thursday Night Football coverage, and for Fox Sports South covering the SEC, all the while volunteering as Offensive Coordinator at Greenville-Pickens High.....the Bills contacted him. Let's just say he's been active in football pretty much up until his heart transplant. It seems you're reaching for anything to try and discredit the guy without laying out all of the variables to the situation. No one was coaching up Rob Johnson.
He was an analyst (Jay Cutler is too), but still not a coach for those years, so as I said he was basically out of the game for 20 years. He was offered a QB coach job on a shit team. Really? That was the one offer he was waiting for to leave the booth to come back to the game for, or that was the only offer he got? Your love for the guy is noted, but seriously come on. Maybe it had nothing to do with his ability, but rather his personality? Either way doesn't make sense to bring him here. With all that said the guy is not in a physical condition to be here so it is not even worth the discussion.
