Coaching /GM Interview Tracker (Liam Coen is a Jag, Pirate Pete is a Raider, Cowboys hired a guy)

[TL1961]

Yes, many here are happy.

Others insist on continuing yet another vortex and ruining what should be a good thread.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Don't know if anyone has seen the posts on the contract yet or details have been being publicly available, but what I am hearing is the contract is actually 6 years and 15 million a year.

 

[mecha]

@Moses Moreno deserves a lot of love and credit for willing the Johnson hire into reality

god bless you my dude

 

[dentfan]

I needed a day to digest this as I was out on BJ. Seeing him hire Allen as DC and now I’m hearing Antwan Randle El is coming. I’m a happy dude.

We went with the hot hand. I’ll take a wait and see. I hope I was wrong on Ben Johnson, and we see some wins.

Why in the world were you out on the #1 coaching option and hottest name in the NFL???

Please don't say Trestman and Nagy

You can check up on it, but, yeah, Nagy. I saw BJ as too cute and gimmicky. I wanted more experience. Whelp, I’m stepping back and thinking about cutting up some lines of kool aid.

Couldn't care less what they have to pay. This is probably the first high profile coaching hire since that ****** Wannstedt and it's about damn time they did whatever it took to get him.

Gotcha. Well Nagy wasn't the consensus choice and didn't even call plays except in the playoffs when he totally abandoned the run game and was the reason the Chiefs lost.

Instead of retreads and no name out of left field hires, the Bears finally made the obvious choice. I applaud the change in approach.

Can't believe they pulled this off - good on them!

No half measures with the OL this off-season though.

 

[ijustposthere]

@PrideisBears Freeman for DC!

 

[ijustposthere]

Glad we have the guy we have (BJ) but can’t take anything away from Freeman. . He is reason that long dormant program is back fighting for a championship — and he is the reason they fought back in this game and got it within 1 score.

He is a dynamic young coach with a super bright future. With the way he is recruiting, their time will come.

You were ranting about how you didn't want Johnson like 5 minutes after the game because of one playcall

Fox wasn’t high profile?

 

[Xplosive]

Fox wasn’t high profile?

Hell no. He was a retread just like Mccarthy would have been. After so many first time coaches he was a change of pace for the organization but he wasn't some hot name that was highly sought after throughout the league.

The last time the Bears hired someone like that would have been Wanny.

He was a nice hire but not the *HOTTEST COACH ON THE MARKET*.

Closest thing was Bowles, but that was a pretty lackluster crop of coaches.

 

[remydat]

Whether you liked Johnson or not, he is a Bear now and the Bears showed everyone they are serious about turning things around.

Johnson is in a lot of respects the coaching version of Caleb. He was the consensus No 1 coaching prospect and was a no brainer to select. Even if some other coach hired this cycle has a better 1st year than him you can't really fault the Bears for chosing him. Much like you can't really fault the Bears for choosing Caleb over Daniels.

You said, “ This is probably the first high profile coaching hire since that ****** Wannstedt “

You might need to work on your definition of “high profile”.

Who was the better up and coming coach the year Nagy was hired?

The only one you could say is Vrabel, but no one would have wanted a defensive coach that year. I guess you could say Frank Reich but he wasn't young and he was going to Indy 100%.

I wasn't out on BJ but did have him as my number 3. And it was based on resume and he had the weakest out of the 3 with McCarthy, Monken as my first 2.

I wanted McCarthy because I have no faith in our GM that looked at Flus and said that's my guy.. and looked at him again when Harbaugh was coming into the NFL and doubled down on flus..

We don't need poles to identify a potential good HC if he just went with McCarthy, we have to have faith now. BJ has never developed a QB, McCarthy is a guaranteed HC that would develop CW.

But again I don't hate BJ, just the most nervous about the Bears getting it right when they have failed over and over.
