It's not 2025
Fuzbusters were life savers
Campbell actually made a good point point about playing the starters. Because of how thin they are with injury, they would have only been able to sit six starters. Who do you sit and who do you start?
Nate got his start up $ via DaBears!
It's not 🚀 science, it's either Ben Johnson or Mike Vrabel.

This is the time of the year when every blogger and fan is a expert evaluator with no experience 😂😂
Carm…
I would take Vrabel. Checks alot of boxes. Love the breakdown yall just gave. Great info
Stretch Stricker, sounds like a damn porn name🤣
Hire Jon Gruden now ! Get that talented young quarterback gone help and get this team into competitive shape .
Thank you ChGO!!!! great year! Very much appreciated!!!
I’m in Melbourne Australia!! This place is amazing!!!! Best Summer weather you can ask for! Go Bears! Happy New Year!!!
I think McCaskey continues to try to hire ‘himself’ in the guys he hires. He is scared to death of not having control.
Where does Ron Rivera align? HC in one Super Bowl and D C in one Super Bowl.
Lets get Johnson as HC.. Ron Rivera as DC
Here is the most important aspect we should be looking at for a coach hire. Is his name John Gruden?
No good Head Coach hire I coming here with Ryan Poles as your GM. Ben Johnson will only come to Chicago if the Bears will hire someone like John Dorsey out of Detroits front office. DO NOT EXTEND RYAN POLES! RYAN POLES IS A DISASTER.
Hey Bears fans, learn how to boycott.
Mike Shanahan, Jon Gruden should be the top two! Forget making an OC a head coach! By the way, broom Poles!!!!!!
It would be a travesty if the bears don’t talk to Gruden! How can you not want one of the best football minds, the most passionate about the game, and a guy who want to say fuck you to the league by showing what he can do! Come on, don’t just write this off fellas! It’s criminal not to go after him!
Williams is a fraud trade him before the rest of the league finds that out
Mike Vrabel's record was in Matt Nagy territory. Vrabel's head coaching candidacy really has the feeling of a lobbying campaign to me.
If John Gruden is eligible to be interviewed by the NFL the Chicago Bears should make him one of their top choices.
Carm is so terrible it’s insane should’ve kept Alex Brown and nick
Verbal or Johnson , anyone else is a fail by Warren and ideally Poles is gone as well
I love Hoge but go listen to the Hoge and Jahns episode when Flus was hired. They were loving the selection. That being said, Ben Johnson is definitely the simple choice here
Hoge acting like he knows better than everyone else, yet again.
I watched the Jags game from my couch like I watch all Bears games and it was still my number one moment of the season. We knew we were taking Caleb at the draft and I had actual hope for the year after the Jags win.
Haven't been listening live lately life has been kind of hectic recently. great show as always CHGO da best. Happy New Year everyone let's have a great year with many blessings lord knows we could use them
Ben Johnson is a no-brainer. Better not f this up
How are you guys gonna compare Mike Vrabel who never made it anywhere near a Super Bowl as a coach to Andy Reid who made one Super Bowl and 4 nfc championships in a row in Philly and then Mcvay . Who made 2 superbowls and won 1?? That is just plain stupid . Sorry . You guys usually say pretty legitimate comparisons. But this one was a major flop. Matt Lafluer maybe . Wins enough in regular season. Never reaches Super Bowl . Wins a few games they shouldn’t in playoffs but overall … nothing special. That’s Vrabel also
Loser of Lions Vikings really doesn’t matter in my opinion they’ll play each other again in the divisional round because both teams will be the Bucs. Either team would not play Philly until the championship game if Philly makes it
The intro is always so loud then the rest of the show is so quiet
Fire Ryan Poles
Given Hoge track record anything he saids about the Bears should be taken with a grain of salt. Basically he just a cheerleader. Any experienced NFL HCs will have to dismantle this team. Looking at another losing season. Maybe two losing seasons.
Hire Vrabil!
JOHN GRUDEN needs consideration!
Mark Carman is inrefutable! 🤣
Maybe Adam should ask Cole Kmet why he isn't blocking instead of having a bromance
Thats why they should've hired Harbaugh last year. He checks all your boxes Hogue.
Just want to give Hoge a shoutout for putting the work in on this project. I love this show because the guys really care about the team and want them to succeed.
