That answer is obvious, but I'll bite. It's not just about liking the Bears. It's about liking them more than the Raiders specificially that I'm talking about. Pelissero and Breer already reported Ben was interested in the job last year. So he's established Chicago meets at least some of his criteria. There's no such rumor for anyone ever being interested in the Raiders.

And, before the offseason started, no one ranked the Raiders as a more desirable coaching destination than the Bears. It's one of the worst situations with bare bones to even compete. They are 2-3 years behind the Bears roster in terms of a rebuild. And 3 years from now, they'll more likely still be worse than the Bears.

They are far from relevant, especially in the AFC. Brady with his minority share running around doesn't change that. If you want to tell me Ben prefers Dallas or Jacksonville, fine... I can see why. I can't see why he'd choose Vegas. He most likely would never make that team really relevant before he's fired.
Idk if you’re paying attention but people are really fucking sick & tired of DEI. It’s not surprising at all that Ben Johnson looks at Bearsworld, with mediocre blacks and women making all the decisions with zero accountability, and decides he doesn’t want to be the next white fall guy. Oh, also he will be dragged relentlessly by the media if he doesn’t somehow get the DEI quarterback to play way better than he is capable of.

Or

Go play for Tom Brady who has none of that baggage. Easy choice.

And I think the Bears getting overhyped as the best coaching destination and the sort of captive way the media has to still buy in on Caleb Williams rubbed off on the Bears org. It empowered them to be the purest version of themselves and arrogantly think they can dictate what kind of hire they get. That is only going to ward good candidates off when you have Oakland, New Orleans and Jacksonville who are making it very well known they are willing to humble themselves and do what it takes to land the best coach.

Wrong. Bears fans win- win either way. Either BJ is the head coach here, or gone from the NFC N, and Lions weakened forever.
Not really as it is entirely possible the replacement OC is good and we find out it was less Johnson and more the players.

Can you name these "mediocre blacks and women" who got you so rattled?

Bears are cooked. It’s not because of Caleb it’s the work environment. Think about these pitches:

George: our structure is vertical, meet the HR team, do you swear? Who likes working in corporate environments? Certainly not good football coaches.

Vs

Brady: you bring your GM in you guys do what needs to be done to win and we will fund it.
I can't think of any sport where the coach hires the GM. This I'm bringing my GM so I can be your coach thing is nonsensical. And I know an organization may want to kiss Johnson's ass, but in all other leagues the GM hires the coach... not the other way around.
FYI : not coming at you Rise, just weirded out by this fake power people (journalists primarily) are giving to Ben.

Such an easy choice! Raiders aren't anything like the Bears!

Yeah i looked it up but they were putting offensive coordinator on the show and i still never saw Monken.
He normally sits in the booth. He’s a fiery guy at times and his language may put the McCaskey's off.

Lol Brady is why DEI exists. Got a broadcasting job he is unqualified for and has no executive experience to speak of but now suddenly he is head of football operations. There is no scenario in a pure meritocracy where he would get either job.
