If Ben Johnson wants the job but has to go through 3 rounds of interviews as they narrow it down to 10 finalists, it'll only bite them in the ass.

The Beast Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 A cool moment. Too bad the Bears didn’t draft this offensive lineman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never would have thought a player would ask an opponent for a jersey. But the main comment is right. I have a few friends that played pro sports. Whenever they made comments about not being good enough I remind them they signed the back of checks to be at the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all do it now. Jersey swaps, go on each other's podcasts. I'm only 40, but it sure ain't like it used to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means they probably take a QB and not Hunter in the draft, which makes a trade up less likely in front of the Bears. Bears need teams to believe in some of these guys and trade up so other teams don't take OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I can’t think of a contract that every day following aged worse after it was signed, more than Watson. Injury, ineffectiveness, fan resentment, lawsuits, more injuries 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think a NFL head coach needs to be proficient in all of the tools available. I think if you have one that is so far behind the times they can't handle a zoom interview you are starting too far behind the curve. The Knute Rockne era is long gone. The next coach should be proficient in data analysis, advanced statistical analysis, and use every edge tech can offer. If be more worried if the team was using a 1990s style business model of flying everyone in and meeting in person. It's a step into the 21st century.
