Unpopular take – after watching some features on him he’s got Chip Kelly vibes. 😬. Dude might be a snake in disguise and the players might sniff it out, don’t be shocked if that’s how it goes down. Chicago’s just got terrible luck with offense historically so I hope I am wrong
Lions window has closed.
Lol 😂 don't matter got to break the Honey Bears curse first just like the Cubs broke the Goat curse
Chris should stayed on the radio
I'm suprised Nick isn't discussing racism is related to thus hiring.
Karma is real!! I cannot wait until Ben gets em"bear"rassed next season by the Lions for making us look stupid and lose in his way out! I bet he dropped that bomb on the entire team before the game because no one on the team seemed to have their head and heart in it! Straight up Snake 🐍🐍
Frankly, I think like Ben Johnson as a coach more than Campbell. I think the Lions will take a step back on offense. And they may lose their DC too.
Caleb’s numbers weren’t as good as Jayden but similar.
Jared Goff was the same QB the Rams let go of for Stafford. Ben Johnson did not develop Goff. Sean McVay got him as close to elite as he will ever be because his problem isn't anything other than mental. He becomes a deer in headlights when there is pressure. That is never going to change.
Ben was a bad choice. As a Bears fan it's hard to see why we took a guy with zero HC experience at a time when a lot of fans are saying stupid stuff like "sell the team". Caleb is not who we were sold, and now we're seeing that nonsense happening all over again. Taking a coach because the media said so, Ben will wilt like a flower under the pressure of trying to make Caleb into something he's not. Caleb is a lot more like Trube and Johnny Football than Mahomes who they are already predicting Caleb will be better than Mahomes with Ben (this was on "Get UP, a national program). WHY WHY WHY did we not take McCarthy with experience and results. Ben is a dud. BAD choice.
Amazing how often the long haired guy is totally wrong…
Johnson hasn’t yet called plays with that o line lmfao. Let’s see if he can play call around that 😂
Another Matt Nagy situation….
BAD HIRE!
U Don't hire from within the Division
I'm glad they didn't hire MCCarthy who I think is a sorry a$$ Coach
#1 coach the Bears should have immediately hired Mike Tomlin
Hands down
Perfect to coach a young Caleb Williams
Ben Johnson will be another Matt Eberflus just watch
Ben Johnson should have went to either Pittsburgh, Miami or Dallas
This is the best move bears have ever made in franchise history….ben johnson was the best coach in nfl without being a head coach ….dan Campbell will be exposed without ben johnson…
If they get a guy like Dennis Allen the bears should hopefully be set on offense and defensive coaching. No one should try to hire Dennis Allen as a hc again
Bear Down Baby!!!
i don't know, but it feels diferent now with the lions eliminated, i don't see the same energy, expectacions about the super bowl, maybe it's just me, and a see all the shows, AND IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME
Because all these shows are a bunch of Glazers and haters even when the Lions were dominating. Both Ben and Aaron will get lucky to get five wins. Next season Lions about to go 17-0 and win the Super Bowl Bowl and rub it in everybody’s face.
Has anyone tried to read a transcript of this how loud and realize how many words do not need to be there?
I hope the Bears tell Ben that in the most important game of the season that he is to have a game plan and prepare for it. Just letting them go out and play like against Washington is fun but it simply doesn’t work.
The Bears are doing great and making their decisions. Im Jelly, because I’m a Packers fan and we have no energy. Our coach sucks. The best pick we ever made was Josh Jacobs last season. & Jeff
Nick Wrong straight skipping over the fact that jared Goof threw all them picks in the game. Too busy finding a way to slander any other QB though.
He has no coaching experience and gets to fancy and calls stupid plays when he can run it for 1st down . There will be lots of mistakes coming. In Detroit who saw when he got a game ball and he didn’t know what to say lol he can’t run a locker room. Time will tell.
The lions have a killer offense and the best O line in the NFL what do the bears have. Still going to be a last place finish in the NFC NORTH. Det minny green bay will all be dominant again.
This ain’t gonna work without a star, running back in two more stud lineman
He's going to be a flop
Jared Goff is not Josh Allen so you cannot compare the 2QB bc Josh Allen is just so much more talented
No, I could take the train is in the cook position this was a missed opportunity. My opinion they should’ve had it last year. Their own coach said that last year that it’s hard to get back here and they didn’t bring up to the division round. i’m just saying, I don’t believe they’re going to be fine. I do believe it is panic button time in Detroit I have a Cubs fan. I know how it is to be teased would’ve very good team in the season and only to have your dreams crushed no hating on load battle it out make sure Detroit DABears.
