But knowing the Bears, they do hire Ben Johnson and he becomes Matt Nagy 2.0.

Still don't think it's an issue because we at very least know that Ben Johnson's offense can score on plays he calls.

I saw something this morning about how johnson is (to paraphrase) being very selective and that the 1) HC and GM needed to be in lock step and 2) if the organization made a mistake in the recent past, they needed to define for him how they've fixed it.

 

It screamed the Bears to me, and if true it sounds like hes interested but also very concerned as he should be

Years of Bears Fandom won't allow me to think positive about Johnson. It will be a wait and see.

[WrigleyField 22]

I'm kind of surprised Johnson isn't just asking for some level of direct control rather than GM-HC alignment.  It's not that hard to get 53 man control if you're a hot commodity and willing to be patient.

The same day where it's reported that Harbaugh showed interest in the HC job and Warren summarily dismissed the idea when Poles brought it to his attention because he personally doesn't like the guy.

 

The Warren hire continues to be a sac bunt that turns into a 1-2-3 double play.

Warren wants to take credit of Caleb’s success, right?. Fantastic. That’s what we need, a horsefeathers ego trip

He most certainly was talking about the Bears. He definitely wants the Bears but also wants Warren and Poles to get their crap together. That article felt like the beginning of negotiations.

As for Warren, he needs to focus on the project he was hired to complete and that is the Bears stadium situation. Leave coaching and player decision to his GM and staff.

[Tryptamine]

Guess the defense is going to keep sleep walking.

[Tryptamine]

Well that was conservative as all hell.

[cwood218]

Punting is winning ...

[bddavidson]

Wonder who Johnson will yell at this week while giving up massive chunk plays

[Tryptamine]

SF down to 3rd string guard, I'm still guessing 2 sacks or less.

Catch the horsefeathers ball

[Wilson A2000]

Bring back Eberflus!

Yes indeed, he did. No interest in competing 

[Tryptamine]

Good start to the Thomas Brown era.

What happened to the new coaching bump? Oh yeah, the players still suck.

[Tryptamine]

Braxton Jones needs to be gone

If they look like this the rest of the way, Poles has to be on the hot seat. The tear down was his doing. The 2024 bears from head to toe are his creation. These are all his players. If they lay another stinker, after a half dozen of them last year and multiple so far this year. You just can’t say he’s done a good job. 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

When you let Poles hire the next coach, you're committing to him for 2-3 years when we've seen no evidence he can put together a good roster. Fun 

[BigSlick]

What a helluva start to the Thomas Brown era 

[Tryptamine]

Kittle might have 250 receiving yards today.

[UK]

Poles fate should already be sealed. He should be fired on Black Monday.
