I love how Kyle became a Bears fan through and through. Love this dude.
I mean he literally played for us lmao
Huh?? He literally got drafted by them and played almost his entire career there
Kyle Long is such an underrated Bears legend man. Love that guy
LMAO I absolutely love Kyle Long.
BEN JOHNSON BABY!!! LFG! Bear Down
I'm tired of people arguing that the Bears need to focus on defense in the draft. Prioritize adding a few stud big uglies to protect #18 and this team will improve exponentially.
BPA = Aston Jeanty
“ Big Uglies” I’m using this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🐻⬇️
You want a bunch of rookies blocking for Caleb? I'm all for using some day 2 picks on interior guys to start developing, but a first round pass rusher is unquestionably the biggest impact move they can make to this roster.
@@joeraguso5376 Right. Because picking o-linemen in later rounds has worked out so very well for this team in recent years. They have needs all over the field. But anyone who thinks their biggest need is anything other than o-line simply has not been paying attention. Stud o-linemen pan out as rookies on a regular basis.
Ben Johnson will be there for less time than Flus
Kyle was a beast for the bears. A natural freak. With hardcore work
this is so fantastic now the bears can really.start rolling man all that talent they have and now they got Ben congratulations 🎉🎉😊👏

Heck Yea Golden Age of America🇺🇸🗽
Yo bring Kyle in for a team visit this year. Absolute goat
Goat of wat, he’s great though ❤
Words are cheap
Bring Kyle in as a OL coach.
No thanks
Kyle man we miss that dude…excellence at his position
Lets freaking goooo!!!!
Kyle needs to be calling games!! He is great at analysis and breakdowns!!
No one should be calling games. It is so unnecessary. Just show the football. We don't need critics on our TV during a game. I know it's kind of a radical concept, but NFL broadcasts have been so horrible since Collinsworth changed the standard for these babbling fools. They even made the greatest QB of all time sound like a idiot who cannot stop talking...
Bears getting ready to dominate with Ben Johnson as their new head coach 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Bear down 💙🧡
Kyle is the man! Go bears.
Going to a division rival is a slap in the face.
Cable Williams needs a o line
O-line wasn't nearly as bad as they're made out to be.
@@joeraguso5376 They deserve absolutely everything that's said about em
Cable 😂
@@joeraguso5376 nah the interior is actually garbage
@@joeraguso5376Matt Forte said the current starters on the o line need to be back ups . A lot of the sacks were on Caleb I realize but a lot of times he didn’t even have 2.2 seconds in the pocket .
Awesome I'm proud to say I'm a bear fan again fix the oline and the sky is the limit go bears
Congratulations Ben. Thanks for the memories💪🏽
Like losing to the Redskins in the first game of the playoffs? You should be glad. An upgrade on the staff to a proven winner could suit the Kitties well...
BJ and The Bear(s). This could be reaaaaaaally good.
KYLE THE MFINNNNNNNN GOAT JO!!!!!! WE LUV YOU IN THE RAQ GANG!!!!!! 🐻👇🏾💪🏾💯
Funny how fast this happened..maybe that's why his game call on Saturday was really weak..focused on his next job not his next game.
31 pts when his offense gives 5 takeaways… I wouldn’t blame him 🤷🏻♂️.
Gotta get the results first. Hard not to be ecstatic but so easy to feel good.
Should have been a 10 win team this year with ease. Hell ill say 11 win. But our coordinators and HC shit the bed
That's the only way to approach Chicago sports fandom. Happy they got their guy, but let's see some wins.
First step: Remove the hypothetical BS. Shoulda, coulda, woulda is never reality. Secondly, the play-callers are more important than the HC. The offensive play-calling killed this season (...they better not run Swift into the teeth of the defense on every first play of a drive again). Will the new play-caller be the HC? It is the only job Johnson is qualified to do at this point. I would think he's be the quintessential OC for the Bears, but here we go again. Rookie HC. Third in a row... Lastly, patience is required, Do not expect double digit wins without any knowledge of how this thing will work. There is a ton of gray area on this hire.
Congrats
Great day 🐻⬇️
Lions fan here, this sucks
You guys will still be amazing you got the culture and HC to continue to be great
You guys will be alright. As long as that defense stays healthy, super bowl will always be a possibility
Lions are a loaded team. It was never about the coaching, it's all about the talent. If anything, the Lions' coaches are holding back this team. They are showing a pattern of not being able to win playoff games. If they were coaching in Chicago, the media would be crucifying them right now. You should be happy that they are getting some new blood on their staff (and that your favorite team is not from Chicago).
We all knew he was gone after this season. If he pans out with the Bears though that's gonna be a problem for you guys for sure.
Kyle makes a GREAT point about Johnson scouting the division 2X a year. Huge PLUS.
Let’s gooo
Next year Caleb Williams will be the 2nd best QB, only behind Mahomes
Is Josh and Lamar retiring? Your prognostication has not only Caleb passing these QBs, but Mahomes passing them as well. Sounds a bit of a stretch, but OK. Love Caleb, but have real expectations for him (...and Mahomes).
Yesssss🎉
Bears going for the popular choice. They decided to take chances with another rookie HC instead of hiring the experienced guy. Let's hope this finally works this time. Not really confident that the idea of repeating things that have failed previously is the right move, but I always support the Bears (...as true fans do ----> maybe learn this, UA-camrs). So many proven HCs out there... I hope this works this time. Go Bears!
I totally agree with you, but everyone seems to love the Ben Johnson hire. I don’t trust the Bears organization to do anything right. I totally think they are pandering to the large portion of Bears fan who want this hire instead of hiring a proven head coach. I mean let’s face facts here this is the same front office who decided to hire Eberflus & not hire Dan Quinn & to retain Eberflus when it was the job Jim Harbaugh really wanted. I really hope all this works out, but I could care less if Ben Johnson “fixes” Caleb Williams. I want a head coach who can “FIX THE BEARS”!
@@MichaelWelch-j2hglad they passed on McCarthy and Carroll
The Lions gave the Bears a B.J.
Looks like the Browns of the NFC got a great coach.
Some folks make great OC's, but not great head coaches. Remember Norv Turner? OC and head coach require different skill sets. And I have to say that I'm not convinced that Ben Johnson is as great as Mike Valenti says he is after watching him not give the ball to Gibbs in the 2nd half vs. Washington last Saturday and how Washington took the ball away from his offense five times. Ben is good, but he's no Shanny or Kingsbury. Sorry.
Caution: it's slippery around here. Little Lion tears everywhere.
I think it's funny that he and his wife went out for a walk to Starbucks. Got to respect a guy who will go out for a walk when it's -4!
Raiders fans in here are upset i guess
why? it never made any sense to choose the raiders. no qb, no high draft pick, bad roster. the bears and jags were always more realistic.
I hope he can coach oline !
I think he's going to be the head coach and not the offensive line coach. It's a rumor I heard from the negative media. You may know something no one else knows?
Bear if good news Ben Johnson is a Chicago head coach and I am not lion
Try it in English
A lot of offensive coordinators, don’t make it as head coaches
O-line.
A new coach yes....whether or not he's "the man" remains to be seen....just cause he was successful in Detroit....doesn't mean the same in Chicago
Exactly! I am having deja vu. Put the horse before the cart by declaring victory when the team has won nothing yet and then when the incredible expectations are not met, participate in a media-led witch hunt. We have been all down this path before (remember 2024?). Maybe this time people can just chill out and don't follow the media down that rabbit hole (doubt it... its already happening).
And imagine them drafting Jack Sawyer of Ohio State? Their own Max Crosby for Chicago.
He is a great offensive thinker but NO MOTIVATOR. 13 million more reasons the Bears will fail. Hahahaha
Ok bears fans not get overly excited again……will see…just sayin…Caleb is the guy.
Wow this will be an exciting team in 2025! I expect at least 6-7 wins and bunch of awesome fantasy football stats for CW
Careful, expectations are what killed last season. Maybe just support the team without that extra burden of hypotheticals....
Call me when the Bears win the Super Bowl! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let me know when the Packers can beat a good team.
division as a whole were did dirty in the playoffs & barely beat the bears stop it 😂
Call me when the Lions make it to a Super Bowl
What's your phone number?
@@gregmatyas4272no
Anyone else think that Kyle Long sounds like Seth Rogen?
I would have rather seen coach Pete Carroll Ben will be a good coach but Mr Carroll has already established himself! He's a winner and the League knows it 👍🏽

He’s just gonna have Rome Odunze throw some picks in their biggest game.
Is this real?
Oh we got bem Johnson,, WOW! I'm going to go buy 1000 jerseys, and season seats for the next 1000000 years! WAKE ME when we WIN a SUPERBOWL,, or the NFL scripts the bears to win one!
Glad they didn't hire mike . They would been better.
Ditka? He's 85 years old...
Wake me when the bears win A Superbowl! NFL is scripted and I'm done watching patty cakes with equipment on! All BS! So, call me when the Bears are made to WIN a Superbowl! A playoff win means NOTHING! NOT A THING!
Brady; 😂😂😂
N i hope this aint all talk
Get quality scouts!!!!!! Stop buying OLINE from TEMU!
Great coach now bench Caleb and put in the white guy at quarterback
Bears fans every year saying they gonna win it all, lol. Ngl, I like the Bears, but lets be realistic here. Caleb Williams is turning out to be a bust, Keenan Allen is washed, DJ Moore is almost washed, Swift and Roschon are mediocre at best and 100% unreliable, their defense is at the bottom of the NFL, and suddenly they think they can turn it all around with Ben Johnson? Doubt it.
No, those are just media talking points that mean absolutely nothing. Your focus on only the skilled offensive positions is just a stupid media trick and you fell for it. They try to build these players up as the heroes or villains when actually there are more important positions on this team to address first. You have been duped by the negative media. And you obviously do not like the Bears. Why did you lie about a stupid thing like that? Your comment is 100% unreliable...😁
You bears fans are embarrassing. Ben Johnson is not the reason for the lions success, he got the credit but every player and fan in the city of Detroit will tell you it starts and ends with a deadly GM and HC combonation. Ben Johnson is not a leader of men or he'd of had people not wanting him to leave. Good luck with your next head coaching search here in 3 years time.
Look no further than how the team viewed this guy compared to Dan Campbell or even a guy like Hank Fraley. You guys got an authortarian who will lose the room quickly because he's a my way or the highway guy. You could clearly see his frustrations on the sideline most games, in fact I'm looking to the heavens he's gone, now watch him fall flat on his face. Rumored to be Hiring a 2x loser head coach as your DC lmaooo good luck boys
The players wanted him to stay. Dan C wanted him to stay. Fans wanted him to stay. Quit acting like you fired the guy. He took a promotion that anyone with a brain saw coming. Wipe your tears, change your crappy diaper, get over your losses and move on. If your coach and GM are so deadly, why are you 1 and done? Tell me again who's embarrassing?
There are no Bears fans here. Just the media and their minions.
Ben is a coach. Bears need a coach. End of story. Is he the best fit? No one knows that yet. You can pretend all you want that he will fail, but reality says that you don't know what is about to happen. The future is unpredictable. Even the Lions win the division every once in blue moon.
As for the Lions deadly "combonation", their HC cannot win play off games (obviously) and their GM recruited many, many players who were not healthy enough to complete in an entire NFL season. The Lions are not a model franchise, so everything in your comment is a moot point. What happened in Det is not necessarily what happens in Chi. NFL101...
I also love that you are using the media's "leader of men" quote. It reveals that you are just another one of those media-inspired guys who are pretending to have knowledge, but actually are just parroting the media.
@@strawberrysmoke9398 Rumors are your basis. Sounds like the media...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭 why ben why! Why! The bears are cursed!
LOL...bears are turnin the corner my friend ! CW had an amazing season considering all the shit goin around him ! Goooooo Bears !!
If your a Det fan, this should be a win for you. It is obvious that the Lions need to improve their coaching staff. They have a Super Bowl-worthy team as far as players are concerned, but lack the playoff knowledge needed to get there. This is their chance to take the next step.
@@jimsnyder6310 who is a offensive coordinator better than Ben Johnson?I’ll wait
Caleb will get Ben fired. Caleb is not smart. Not coachable. 😊
The guy will fail there, mark my words. Classless move and it'll haunt him till the end of his days.
Classless? What are you smoking
LOL...bitter fool is what u are my friend ! Suck it !!
@@he-mansuncle7661 I think he might be referring to his lack of loyalty, especially joining forces with a team in the Lions' division.
@@jehushaphat Or he didn’t want to face the Chiefs with no quarterback in Vegas. He should see the positive side of the NFL wanting to play like the Lions.
Cry more
Still have bad ownership, a bad president, and ok GM. Hopefully he can overcome the incompetence in that front office
How bad must they be if they just landed ben?
@@Duffyartwork they haven't won a playoff game since 2011.

Who is cable Williams 😢
And What makes ANYONE think that Ben Johnson "Coached" Jared Goff or Matt Nagy "Coached" Patrick Mahomes??? We were told that Matt Nagy would be a GREAT Head Coach based on the great work he had done in Kansas City... What a Pile Of SH*T!!! If Ben Johnson is the new coach, which The Bears Have NOT announced on their official website, He may be another Useless POS that hasn't got a clue and only looks good because of a talented player on his current team... WE'VE ALL BEEN ON THIS RIDE BEFORE! Let's See How The BEARS Play Next Year...
Relax lol
Traitor
Matt Nagy part 2 horrible hire.
matt nagy never called plays. he was an andy reid merchant. not even remotely close.
Ha, what a joke! ...
I cannot get excited over this, this is Matt Nagy 2.0 ... Another "offensive guru" gets the job ...
What could this guy possibly have over Pete Carroll? ... nothing, other than he comes with a lower price tag ...
And once again we see the oppressive hand of Bears executive management meddling in a pure football decision!
Nagy ran Reid’s offense in KC, only called plays in 3 games for KC, learn your football facts.
@@gregmatyas4272 I know the facts ... and the facts were this ...
Some tool in the local media space billed Nagy as an "offensive guru" and whole f***ing town bought it ...
The OC position is a one-dimensional job ... what do we know about him as an evaluator of talent, what do we know about his ability to be a head coach, what is his clock management history? ... I could go on and on ...
So don't tell me I'm not versed on the facts ... the issue here is Johnson, not Nagy.
Good riddance him and his trick plays .. overrated garbage
If your defense didn't get hurt different story
Man are you BUTT HURT lol
Weren't saying that a couple days ago. Super 🧂
