Mike Vrabel may be the frontrunner for the Patriots head coaching job, but Ben Johnson cannot be overlooked either.

Johnson can meet via video conference with teams beginning on Wednesday through the end of wild-card weekend. Each interview is limited to three hours in length.

Lions OC Ben Johnson is the NFL's hottest head coaching candidate, and his best option is a team in his division: the Chicago Bears.
