Mike Sando, National writer for The Athletic and Hall of Fame selector, joins Hoge and Jahns as the Bears undergo their first week of interviews. Is Pete Carroll’s energy the opposite of what the players have been asking for?

If we don’t get the Ben Johnson or vabrel I want the ravens OC
Only the Bears could come up with a head coaching search like this , George McCaskey thinks his way of doing things is the right way and will continue doing it and that's why the team is always losing !
I wish the Bears had heard of Occam’s razor. If they had, they’d interview 4-5 guys, then make Johnson (or Vrabel) an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Wheaton IL stand up!!! Red Grange field baby
What the Kafka? Bears are going to Kafka all over themsleves and end up with one of the worst coaching candidates they interview.
The Bears have a plan , the same plan they always have , a plan to fail and they do !!
Wheaton also gave us John Belushi – Wheaton Central, which is the same high school Red Grange attended. I used to run into John's sister Marian in Winfield from time to time, really nice, funny lady.
I absolutely appreciate your attention to detail on all these guys. It’s unfortunate that you are required to as committed journalists and pundits. There are truly only 2 or 3 real guys you could trust Poles with. I said earlier that the McCaskey, Polian, Poles guys will be telling. themselves they were not far off with Eberflus. Depending on how awful that is, will be ground zero.
If they hire another Matt i’m gonna kill myself.
This Kafka conversation is probably very similar to how the Raiders convinced themselves to hire Luke Getsy. "He was in a bad situation." "Well respected around the league."
Ben Johnson is the typical Bears pick. Never been a head coach, is considered to be THE it guy right now, and we don’t consider anyone who has legitimately done that job
All bums
Hog and Janns being the clowns they are sucking up to ownership to have those press passes sitting here talking about Kafka. Joe Brady not even mentioned
I don't want Pete
Liz Geist knows ball
sando is such a great interview. Really good insight.
What's working in Chicago's favor is their competition for coaches this round. There's a whole lot of incompetence out there.
The one thing that worries me is Tom Brady. That seems like someone a Ben Johnson might want to attach himself to rather than dealing with the McCaskey Family's nonsense.
Is there a big advantage to being a Catholic school boy if you want to be hired by the Bears?
Monken or Fox, a new game to play after they hire him.
Awesome Mike!
Hoge and Jahns da best
McCarthy has as many playoff wins in his coaching career as the Bears do since 1960. Stop with the McCarthy slander
There seems to be a misconception that you need to be a red-ass coach in order to get discipline and respect. If you go and read what Carroll's players and coaches have said about him he COMMANDS respect and doesn't have to go that route to get it. Players say he cares about them and, for that reason, they don't want to let him down. Chad Morton was with him for a decade and said that, Richard Sherman said that. Totally biased, but I think he's exactly what the Bears need. He needs a succession plan and an OC plan.
Mike Sando is superb, really enjoyed, get him on again
No fishman friday 🙁
hoge really showing his Justin Fields hate with that hoodie!
Ben Johnson or Mike Vrable. Interview everyone if you want. Go for the best candidate in the end and don’t be cheap
Chicago bears…"we have a clear vision of what we want or identity and scheme to be"
Also Chicago bears…. Interviewing 19 candidates with different identities and schemes…
A veteran coach would/could put together a better staff than a rookie head coach could put together imo…. Veteran coach, veteran staff, with a proven system is what is needed in Chicago….Vrabel + Saleh+ McCown(that's right) let's go
That clip of Monken was great! Funny how when we hear a guy w emotion and he’s swearing like a sailor we love it! But the lame ass Mccaskeys won’t 🤬🤬
If w were serious about Vrabel we would have brought him in instead of doing zoom. We are going to end up with the Lions OC or someone like that and the l9sing will continue.
The head coach should be responsible for hiring his own staff with approval from the front office to negotiate terms. That's one of the leadership qualities of the HC that should be expected.
I remember Freeman getting drafted by the Bears and being excited for his potential. He was one of the higher rated LB prospects leading up to the draft. Then all of a sudden I heard Freeman was cut and never heard what happened. I guess now I know.
They're officially interviewing Ron Rivera. I've said all along they'll hire him 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If they interview 2 guys and hired one. Then the other guy went on to win a SB and we are doing this again in 3 years. You guys would bitch we didn’t interview enough guys lol.
Grange field as at Wheaton Central which closed in 1991. Wheaton Central merged with another school and became Wheaton warrenville south. They might have renamed the field in Grange filed at the new location, but the original Grange Field is gone.
