OT: Bears & NFL Talk 103

[plasmonresonance]

Not that there was much doubt, but it was pretty clear that having Caleb at QB was very enticing for Johnson. He also gave some props to the Bears defense after they gave him some trouble in 2023.

Per Brad Biggs, Fraley will not join Johnson with the Bears. He'll be looking elsewhere than the Lions for his staff.

Ben Johnson’s presser was awesome. Caleb’s interview was outstanding. Great to see so many key guys fly in for it.

Most notable from Ben and Caleb was that clearly this prior staff had zero discipline and zero accountability and that players clearly wanted that.

Damn that's a bummer. Would've loved to had seen what he could've done with the O-Line (would've been the OC by title but would've worked with the O-Line).

Lions have lost their OC, DC, and defensive line coach in the span of just a handful of days. Going to be a big test on Campbell.

D was horrible for years outside of a stretch this year

Losing Glenn is no loss

 

[ndgt10]

Why was Aaron Glenn a hot commodity?

 

[Romang67]

So, the Jaguars react to already having missed out on their top targets by firing Trent Baalke. Bit late.

He comes across as a defensive Thomas Brown type of guy, just with the luck of being on a good team to get him a HC job.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Jags are a big f***ing mess, and guys were avoiding job like plague

Firing Balke now instead of at end of season is another embarrassment and self-inflicted wound

 

[clydesdale line]

Jags organization might be more ass backwards than the Bears.

Man, that is some seriously impressive incompetence.

Well they weren't getting Ben Johnson regardless. I wonder if they pair up with McCarthy. He might be the best option left for them to have a coach that works best with Lawrence since Coen is staying put in Tampa.

Not to pretend that the Bears aren't avoiding this exact position by anything but the whims of fortune, but man this is the kind of stuff that makes you give up.

I dont love Lawrence and never did with his big windup, but he still has ability.

Schemestyle that seems like the Opposite fit to try McCarthy with him.

Bloody hail a lot of Lion fans are super aggro about Ben Johnson coming to The Bears?! Almost every video of them is bashing BJ and trying to retroactively paint Goff as this great QB who made him and Dan Campbell is the real offensive mastermind in Detroit?


I'm taking this is as a great sign. When fans and players are despondent over a coach leaving you know he's good. How many Chiefs fans were worried about their offense when Nagy came to Chicago? Were there any Broncos fans crying a river about Fox getting sacked for Kubiac? I don't recall a mass wave of despair in Indiana when Eberflustered moved on from The Colts to become a head coach? I'll clue you in none.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Agreed. Fans don't get mad at mediocrity or crap leaving. Fans upset at him coming here are sending a damn good message that Halas Hall made a rare good hire.

Yep. Salty Lions fans are salty.
