Meh, I am not sure I agree with the part where Detroit has to win a SB. Back to back division titles and relevancy are tangible achievements, I am quite sure their merchandising has increased 10 fold, etc etc. I guess it depends on from who's perspective you are looking at it from. The litmus test really should be are they better off now then they would have been if they would have kept Stafford and not made the trade?

If they want a former HC, they can go Kliff Kingsbury too.... Caleb would probably be happy.

What’s this even based on? They still have him the favorite to be the Bears coach. I just pulled this. At the same time, he’s most likely to be the Saints coach, which seems like a wild long shot.

That honestly is utterly meaningless until after Ben is interviewed.
All that means is some betters bought into the media bullshit and panicked.

With what QB? That has to factor in.

Draft one? There's this thing called the draft, I know CCS has trouble understanding that.

Hadn't thought that much regarding Monken myself.

Jackson missed 4 games, not 6.
Derrick Henry didn't join the Ravens until 2024.
JK Dobbins tore his ACL in Week 1 of 2023.
Despite all of this, the Ravens went from 19th & 16th without Monken in 2022 to 4th & 6th with Monken in 2023.

I've been hearing a little about him. I like that he comes from the Ravens, who are known to be a good organization. Also know he is a Wheaton native, so he's from the area.
I still am all in for Ben, but Monken is the one name out of the "unknowns" where my first immediate reaction wouldn't be "Oh no, they fucked it up again."
He's the one out of the lesser known bunch I'd pick if I had to that had a chance to pleasantly surprise.

Don’t sleep on him. He knows how to adapt an offense to a QB’s strengths. He understand offense, and he doesn’t get cute. He’s about running the ball.

He’s legit. Has been for way longer than Johnson.
Only question is if he would be a good HC. We already know he’s a fantastic OC. But that uncertainty applies to Johnson, as well.

Again, putting my UGA homerism aside, analyze how he called games for them with sub-standard QBs and had that offense humming. Notice the 180 degree downturn there since he left. Look at how the Ravens offense has improved since he went to BAL.
He’s the real deal.

Bears are interviewing 3rd for Ben Johnson. I’d rather be first (patriots) or last (jaguars) but I don’t think it has any real significance.

Definitely not 4 games. He only played in 12 out of 17. And I said 6 because in the game he got hurt, he was out in the 1st Q. So fine, he missed 5.75 games.
Obviously, having Lamar makes a huge impact. And again, they had a poverty QR room and were on their 3rd string back.
I'm not saying Monken isn't a good OC, but the situations were not the same. When you compare one season's stats to another, these things matter. When Jackson was healthy, the Ravens averaged 25.1 PPG, which would have been good for 8th in the league, which looks much better than 19th.
Otherwise, you can do the same thing in reverse and point out how the Bucs were 12th in the league in scoring during Monken's last year there, and jumped to 3rd when Bruce Arians took over the next year.
