As the NFL regular season is nearing its conclusion, there is a lot of talk about who will be the new head coaches. However, even the best reporters can sometimes get it wrong, and this was particularly true in 2023. For instance, Josina Anderson from Fox Sports announced on a Thursday that Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, would need a big salary increase to leave his job.
However, Johnson’s agent, Richmond Flowers III, immediately denied these claims, accusing Anderson of incorrect reporting.
NFL Agent Richmond Flowers III: Calls Out Fake Report
Richmond Flowers III, who currently represents Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, publicly criticized a tweet by Fox Sports’ Josina Anderson last Thursday. Anderson had claimed that Johnson was seeking a large salary to take on a head coaching role in the NFL, with a minimum yearly salary of $15 million. Flowers refuted this claim, stating on Twitter that there is no set price or demand, labeling Anderson’s tweet as completely untrue and careless journalism, according to a source.
Previously a professional football player, Flowers III has played for teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars, Dallas Cowboys, Barcelona Dragons, and the Washington Redskins. In 2007, he established Collective Sports Advisors and now works intimately with NFL quarterbacks and coaching staff.
Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson: Dominate 2023 Season
The Lions are one of the top scoring teams in the NFL, averaging 27.3 points each game, which is the fifth highest in the league. In 2022, Ben Johnson became the offensive coordinator and the Lions’ offense has been soaring ever since. Quarterback Jared Goff has revived his career under Johnson with 55 touchdowns and only 17 interceptions in 31 games.
The Lions are currently leading the NFC North, three games ahead of the Minnesota Vikings. It has been a while since Detroit won the division (1993) or a playoff game (1991). This season, they have already won ten or more games, something they last did in 2014. Dan Campbell became the head coach of the Lions in 2021 and replaced Anthony Lynn with Ben Johnson the next season. Aaron Glenn, the defensive coordinator, has been with the Lions since Campbell started.
What is Josina Anderson doing now?
Josina Anderson, a veteran NFL reporter, announced her departure from CBS Sports on April 30, 2024. She had joined CBS Sports in 2021 and worked as a senior NFL insider. During her time with CBS, she also contributed to Skip Bayless’ “Undisputed” show on FS1. As of now, there is no specific information about her next venture.
Apart from her work in sports broadcasting, Anderson hosts the “Undefined with Josina Anderson” podcast, although it has not had an episode since August 2023. She is also part of “TheCREW,” a YouTube show focused on football. However, the YouTube page for “TheCREW” last posted a show in September.
