These morons clearly have little interest in Vrabel. There is ZERO excuse for not putting this guy on a plane to Chicago for an interview. Fucking idiots.

It seems to me Detroit hired the exact opposite of this psych major.

Raiders just fired the GM

Raiders are now serious contenders to land Ben Johnson.

They interviewed Mike Vrabel via Zoom call. Maybe they can do Ben Johnson in a group chat.

It's gotta be for Belichick.

Crazy that the Raiders had Al Davis as acting GM for like 50 years and have since burned through like one every year or two since.

_________________

After hiring the next HC the Raiders will be paying 4 head coaches.

Don't fall asleep at the wheel...Thomas Brown going to interview with Seattle for OC

His chances are about the same as Pep Hamilton, who interviewed with the Patriots.

_________________

It's for OC not HC.
They are reportedly impressed with how the team continued to play hard despite losing.

Belichick has a job, he's the HC of UNC

_________________

Mmmmhmmm, yeah. Sure.

If I were being interviewed I wouldn't answer a question if it were asked by the human resource office. I'd just pretend she wasn't in the room because she shouldn't be. The human resource officer gets to interview entry level hires, not executives. It's like bringing Staley in on the conversation.

Waddle and Silvy asked beat reporters/local media who they think the Bears will hire:

Mark Potash - Ben Johnson
Jason McKie - Ben Johnson
Peggy Kusinski - Brian Flores
Dionne Miller - Brian Flores
Patrick Finley - Ben Johnson
Adam Jahns - Ben Johnson
Kevin Fishbait - Brian Flores
Courtney Cronin - Joe Brady

Sounds like Carrol made a pitch that he would have a top assistant be associate head coach with a succession plan to be next HC

That’s a terrible idea but I understand why an elderly would offer it up.

Who should they?-Ben Johnson

The same approach they used to select Nagy will be used to select Coen. Maybe this time it will work. Probably not.

Watched Wannys segment this afternoon with the SCORE. He said he would go after Bret Bielema if he were in charge of this search for the Bears.

Laugh all you want but it's the kind of shit george would do. A long term succession plan might be appealing to Poles as well in terms of prolonged job security. It's not like we're dealing with intelligent executives here.

Carroll has always been a manager of people type of coach and he is a healthy living kind of guy. He could easily do 5 more years like that, which would put him in the top end of bear coach tenures.

Peggy and Dion are about as connected as I am. I give their opinion no more weight than someone posting here. I respect Fishbain though, and he is aligned with them.

Cronin is as good as we have here and I think Brady is an under the radar guy who is just as strong as a candidate as Johnson

Everyone is focused on Johnson, like he is the only young OC out there doing great work.

Brady was voted the top assistant coach in college in 2019 as the passing coordinator at LSU with Burrow, Chase, Jefferson, Helair, etc. Extremely talented but you could see sophistication in his work with that team. It's not like Burrow was Burrow the moment he came to college. He was a qb coach for Allen at Buffalo and then the OC when their O really started humming. I'd be more than happy with him and he won't be nearly as difficult as Johnson. I like Joe Brady and I like Cronin
