Oh, I didn't realize until just now that I'm older than Johnson.

Big fan of Johnson's comment that QB play is a stronger indicator of winning in the NFL in 2025 than turnover ratio.
Hopefully that means that the message for the young QB will be to challenge tight windows more this season. And to under throw, rather than overthrow, deep balls. That felt like a big one in the deep game, where he was desperately trying to not get picked off deep down the field.

I'd also be remiss not to express my disdain for Mike Florio, who the days before the hire did a media tour saying how Ben Johnson was going to the Raiders or staying with Detroit, and the Bears wouldn't get him unless they fired Poles.
As usual with sports media, moved past it with nary a mention of how he was just bullshitting his way around the sports media landscape.
Sports media sucks, and Mike Florio sucks more than most.

Mike Florio may be my most disliked sports pundit (Mcafee and his cronies moving up the list). He is so transparently full of shit and his Vikings bias is obvious any time he discusses the NFC North.

He might be the most agenda driven reporter out there as well. Not biased, but I feel like every time he "reports" something, it's actually just something he would like to see.

I think George and the Bears clearly did each other a solid there. George let them fulfill the rule. The Bears brought George's name up in NFL coaching circles...which it previously wasn't there (as far as I know). I bet he gets an NFL coaching job in the next year. He'll probably start as a RB coach somewhere. It might even be on the Bears staff.

The Coen/Jaguars/Bucs thing is absolutely wild. Petrino-esque.

The Jags had the biggest addition by subtraction move ever.
Baalke was such a toxic mess that an empty void as general manager is infinitely more attractive to a head coaching candidate than him.

George was in Bears training camp a couple of years ago and at that time the two parties may have agreed to give Eddie an interview, if for no other reason than to get his name out there as a possible candidate. Plus he gets the experience of going through the interview process, even if it may have been a bit of a sham.
