One of the better bears HC introductions I can remember. I’m thrilled he used no acronyms. He threw the meatballs a bone with the Lafluer comment. What he is saying is sound. Will it resonate? Will he stick to it? Coming from a winning culture with actual play calling experience is huge. Building an offense around the quarterback I loved.

The overall feel is he wants to be here and I don’t get the ick from him like I did with Fluser. Time will tell.

All in all, for once the Bears won a press conference.

Ultimately may mean nothing but could be a positive indicator of the future. Color me shocked.
To be fair Nagy was pretty good at press conferences in the beginning. I'm just glad he gave off no weirdo Adam Gase, creepy combover Trestman, or smug Josh McDaniels vibes. He literally seems normal despite the constant megabrain references.

Definitely a relief.

All jokes aside That's what Matt Eberflus was - All style and no substance. And even that style was borrowed for his last year.

Ben just feels like nothing but substance
I give him credit for generally being a good defensive play-caller. The defense got better when the porn-at-work guy (or whatever that guy did) got fired and Eberflus took over, and it also may have slipped some when Eberflus was fired.

Honestly?

I also saw this as a way of showing that Ben Johnson is ultimately the one in charge.

Ben was constantly talking about how Warren, Poles, and George were going to work with HIM, rather than the dumbass collaboration bullshit we've gotten ever since ditka was fired.

I think this was about sending a message. And I think the message sent will raise some eyebrows in the most positive way in terms of attracting free agents and higher quality coaches for the coaching staff.

No. Please don't be honest. Lie to us. Thanks.

BREAKING NEWS! Ryan Poles signs husky finger girl who likes to write notes to multi year deal. Expected to compete at LG.
Let's just hope she doesn't ever become a Proctologist. Or maybe hope that she does, if one is into that kinda thing...

The narratives that nobody would want to come to the Bears and that they are too cheap should have died painful deaths.

He was extremely charismatic. Joked with the reporters, asked them questions back. Man I'm telling you Matt's ego was his biggest enemy. He forever wanted to known as a passing guru, when he had a slow, plodding, team with an inaccurate QB.

I called him the white Lovie Smith. You didn’t read the responses. It was not good.

My only complaint is he kinda looks like Adam Gase just waiting on his eyes to roll around like he's gone off them percs 😳🤣
