Ben Johnson to the Bears per Schefter

[phildadon86]

I'd like to make some of that dumb money.

lol. You could never because you never admit problems or see a need for change. You may luck into a position of prominence like your hero Stephen but it wouldn’t mean you’d earned it.

Lions. Packers and Vikings all better He’s in no win situation going to bears.

It could be an advantage. Johnson would be pretty familiar with the Bears and already have some ideas about where the holes are and how to fill them. It’s almost like a headstart. Yep, ala Dan Quinn.

Oh really. I don't believe they can win with Dak because he can't run. I think their only chance with him is to have a dominant running game and I would seriously consider taking 2 backs in this draft and they have to sign some free agents in March. That means they have to sign Parsons soon.

I heard Jerry just woke up to learn that BJ singed already, and his quote was "we weren't expecting this, and shocked that Ben signed so quickly"

B-b-b-but, Jerry… aren’t you the same guy who pokes fun at US for not EXPECTING that the sun will glare through the west end windows of your rotting palace at 4:57 PM on Sunday?

Free agents lol.

Stop.

i was really hoping Bills OC Joe Brady would be a lead factor for us ... but the Jones have a total different thinking to killl that thought

Also, the Ravens OC….

 

[Teague31]

And we end up with the leftovers. Sounds about right.

 

[InPhiltraitor]

No surprise here. He’s got a young promising QB to work with.

Also, this may not be a good thing for those that want Jeanty. Johnson was working with a cheat code like Gibbs and can have the same opportunity with Chicago and Jeanty.

 

[khiladi]

McCarthy was never a front runner for the job. The Bears interviewed like over 10 candidates. They were just doing their due diligence.

Jerry was probably never even considering him. His agent probably threw that out there that he walked away.

 

[Aven8]

Lions season ended late Saturday night. Beats got that done quick. And here’s Booger and Jethro muddling along interviewing candidates no other teams have interest in. I’d cry if I wasn’t so used to the ineptitude. And it’s for this reason I hoped Mike came back as it’s about to get worse.

Chicago has been interviewing people since like November

 

[TheCoolFan]

Good decision...it's a great team for a guy making his HC debut. The Raiders sounded like they were very interested too but I'd rather coach in the NFC North than AFC West vs. 3 other veteran coaches. I think the Bears will be back for sure...they just need their indoor stadium ASAP to make it easier for their offense.

Perhaps but they closed the deal with BJ since Saturday.

 

[stinkface]

He should turn that around quick. They have really good talent at WO and TE. They need a good back like he had in Detroit. He has a ton of Cap Space to bring in talent for the O line. That will be a tough division next year, but a Minn and Detroit may backslide a bit.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

B tier candidate.

I like choosing from the A tier. Frazier, Saleh, Lynn, Schottenheimer. Names like that.

Lol

They were obviously waiting

 

[rambo2]

Free agents lol.

Stop.

Lol, how about you stop. What will they do with the 100 million?

 

[pitt33]

Dallas favors KMoore.

He’s so lame. Or at least he comes across like that.

Just another coach to help prop Dak up because he’s incapable of doing it on his own.

This organization is so bad.

I know we dunk on the team for being cheap , but
I imagine Johnson being the 5th highest paid coach in NFL history, after never having been a HC, should at least be an opportunity to pause.

Missed the edit window.

14.5 Million per year

If this doesn’t tell you that Kellen our next head coach, I don’t know what to tell you. Johnson was headed to Chicago since they fired Eberflus. You can see by the Cowboys interviews to what they are planning. Those other candidates are going to be defensive coordinators.
