For the love of god, it's brutal. I started loving football during my first year of playing as a kid back in the summer of '86. My dad didn't have a team, so I fell in love with that team that my school bully was a fan of. That team with great defense, and the wide eyed middle linebacker, and the rotund guy with the gap in his teeth, and that cool QB who did wore shades, and my favorite player ever - the greatest RB of all time, and that cool coach we eats glass and nails, and that evil genius creating orchestrating a machine hell bent on destroying the soul of offenses. The team with the balls to make the Super Bowl Shuffle and then dominate the super bowl. LITTLE DID I KNOW, I'd be setting myself up for years of this murky, odd, discomfort. This eternal confusion - the haze that surrounds this team, obfuscating the reality of what they are. And there's the poison we call hope, by god do we want hope. We're addicted to hope and it burns when it is stolen from our fan base again and again. We are in a maze covered in fog, trying to emulate what other teams have done to find themselves in the clearing, in the sun. HOW ARE THE LIONS SO MUCH BETTER THAN US? HOW DID THE VIKINGS WIN 14 GAMES THIS YEAR? HOW ARE THE PACKERS ALWAYS GOOD AT QB? Damned if anybody at Halas Hall knows. The Lions lost their whole defense and they're still plugging along. We lose Andrew Billings - our run stuffing meat monster - and our pass rush turns to garbage. Every injury was crippling to our team. The Vikings won 14 games with Sam Darnold. Process that. That guy. They won 14 games with that guy at the helm. Sam Darnold. Noodle that, but not too long, cause the thought causes headaches. The Packers made the playoffs with a team in diapers. How the hell do we have a +8 turnover differential and yet still find a way to be 5-12. All but one of the other teams with a positive differential made the playoffs - the Bengals almost made the playoffs but came up just short. Our team is a laughing stock. Papa Bear is rolling over in his grave. We'll hire hire Kafka and he'll suck like we figured he would or we'll hire Ben Johnson and he'll faceplant - but we'll lie to ourselves and each other about it. Some will hate whoever it is from the day he starts, others will give him a chance only to learn to hate him too. And he'll fail. That is the constant - we suck, we suck, we suck, something flukey happens and we're pushing like we might be good and we start buying in... and then we suck again. Lather, rinse, repeat. My favorite team does it to me again and again. Being a Bears fan sucks.
@drhenceforth it was 1984 for me and Walter was magical to watch. It's been mostly miserable since his retirement. We should start a support group. Haha.
Haugh never is happy. Interview 4 people, he would be upset. Interview 8 people, he would be upset. He seems to want someone hired asap, but if they take the Lions guy, that might not be for weeks.
Haugh's whole shtick is to invent problems to complain about and/or pile on the obvious issues. He makes his living trying to create controversy. Awful. Wiederer is his understudy in that regard.
They got mad when Brad didn't agree with them lmao Everyone thinks they are so smart but these media guys have been wrong sooo many times. Let the bears go through the process and shut up
If you ever have read Brad Biggs...and watch him...he is a Bears Apologist....he hardly ever criticizes the Bears..and that's what drive these guys crazy...like he always has excuses for them..thats why he has so much inside information on the Bears because the Bears upper managment love this guy for defending them all the time...thats why this organization is who they are...and nobody in uppermanagment is held account for anything
Man I love listening to Brad Biggs! He’s so reasonable, well researched, not optimistic but not ready to burn the thing down prematurely… Maugh was looking like a fool with his childish temper tantrum arguments. “I deserve to be mad!” 😂
Plus Biggs is the only man who can blubber with his full chest. “Keep an open mind or the Bears higher ups won’t be your friend and you won’t be in the cool kids club…all I have to say is keep an open mind.” What a wasted journalism degree. We get more bears info from Tom Grossing ffs.
Don’t forget. These guys said the Bears were guaranteed playoff contenders with this OLine. They must have gotten the journalism job from their parents. 😂
McCarthy can walk in with experience, knows how to run an NFL offense, can develop young QBs, and hires coordinators that go on to be coaches. Who else can provide that?
Bears fan need to realize this is a blessing from the football Gods. Main objective is to develop Caleb, who better than the guy who helped develop his idol Aaron Rodgers! Ryan poles isn’t trusting his job with another first time head coach
So you’re giving reasons the Bears will be intimidated and will go back to hiring cheap inexperienced guys that don’t intimidate them. Trestman, Nagy, Eberflus, who’s next?
Mike McCarthy is a very good option. 17 years as an NFL head coach, experience developing QBs, .600 record with both the packers and cowboys, 3 straight 12 win years with cowboys (how many do the bears have in 20 years?!) and a SB ring. Rodgers hasn’t won without McCarthy either and we all think LeFleur is a v good coach. He’s the 2nd best option to Ben Johnson, discrediting McCarthy shows me you don’t know ball, turn off espn fake news 😂
The fair criticism is playoff success, we’re the chicago bears - we don’t even make the playoffs… let’s first focus on baby steps, develop the qb and become a legitimate franchise. McCarthy does both of those things and is a very good option.
Agreed. I'm no fan of him from being a Bears fan, but if you just look at his stats, experience and accolades and remove the name Mike McCarthy you'd hire him immediately.. Pete Carol is the only one close but he's not an offensive minded QB coach .
Amen grab him fast.. better win percentage than Sean Payton I believe he left Dallas for this job. Dealing with poles and Warren would be child's play.
It's not about the number of candidates they looked at before Eberflus or right now. It's about the quality and experience level. If they knew what they wanted, they would have their HC now. The issue is that they don't know what they want. Look at the resume and what's needed, McCarthy is the right hire. Just get the deal done and let's get working now.
These two bobble heads in the morning are always finding ways to be negative. Just because you guys have been in town following sports for years, doesn’t make you right. No one in media has been a coach in the NFL. Just shut up and see Adar develops. McCarthy isn’t McVay or Shanahan, but he’s been battle tested and has run an NFL team. His numbers speak for themself. He knows how to run a locker room and expects his QB to understand football. Caleb needs a coach that will help him develop and understand the position. Mully and Haugh should stop pretending like they know what it takes.
Right.. so shocking anyone has the audacity to be critical of any bears FO decision making at this point. You want to buy off on the next bad decision go right ahead. Can’t wait to see you and the rest of the homers packing soldier field next year, sobbing over another round of failure.
These guys like everyone at the Score wants the Bears to fail.. don’t fool yourselves.. they need it to be that way. Helps ratings and gives them national soundbites. They obviously don’t understand there is rules you have to go by if your potential coach is still in season. Also these coaches who are interviewing already has their coaching staffs taken care of through back channels. Freaking amateur questions and complaints… if you want quality Bears talk and to know how process is working go to Gabriel talks sports… someone with knowledge and experience on how this process works.
More interviews are better, imo. I think this is a great opportunity to interview as many people as possible and get free feedback from around the league about the team in general, strengths/weaknesses, see what patterns pop up, and then make a decision based on a top 3 list of names they’ve probably wanted all along anyway since Cairo drilled that walkoff FG in Green Bay.
Johnson has never been a HC and doesn't have to do anything other than call plays. Dan Campbell such an alpha leader that Johnson is unknown. I read Johnson is a bad interviewer. Sounds like Waldron 2.0. People wanting Johnson without knowing how he is as a HC show you're just seeing the outer paint job without knowing whats under the hood. Plus poles has been so bad as a gm that Johnson will go to the raiders where Brady has shown the ladt werk has more stones than poles and Warren.
Get a real head coach! Stop the messing around by interviewing anyone any everyone. Opportunities are passing. Mike McCarthy is the guy! Get him in the building!!!
these two are idiots. What don't you understand any team that wants a coach from a playoff team have to wait so why not just interview to see who comes up. to add to the 2nd round. Yet fire poles.....
Mike wouldn’t be bad alternative if Ben falls through. In order to win SB… you have to get into playoffs and then get hot. So if you continue to get there you will breakthrough especially if you have a QB who can close out games and CW has that ability we’ve seen. Most coaches playoff stats are not really great except for say Bill. If guys like Foles, Flacco, Eli can make that playoff run I think CW can if he gets enough shots in playoffs. It’s all about just getting there.. and Mike has shown he can get there.
@ i have to agree. I used to listen them too everyday in high school and freshman year of college driving to and from class. I enjoyed them back then. Nowadays seems like they’re copying whatever the mainstream sports talk show guys are saying and those guys are specifically dumber than even Chicago hosts but atleast they have their own thoughts
Mike McCarthy, is experienced, he led a superbowl team. Didn't he have Bret Favre and Aaron Rogers? Hire him. Ben Johnson could be a bust as a head coach! Great offensive coach, but being the head coach is not the same. Look at Eberfluss, real good defensive coach but so so head coach.
Mccarthy will be snapped up very quickly by someone. If the Bears love him, they would have to move very quickly. My guess is they won't move quickly. It appears the Bears are spinning their wheels till Detroit loses.
To help people out, the Chargers interviewed 15 HC candidates last offseason and picked Jim Harbaugh. It seems like they got it right. So, the Bears list of 18-20 while seems like a lot, the Chargers got it right. Cross our fingers this thoroughness works!
Just look at this organization for just 15 years, they have had many GMs and Coaches, and McCaskey's always looked for a committee to help make decisions. Jerry Krause said " Organizations Wins Championships" and this Bears Organization is as backwards. For years they had a weak Offensive Line and a Defensive line. Why? They expect their QB to overcome these weaknesses and my question after so many bad years why would anyone go to see this team?
you are correct Haugh. If one or two of these primary names disappear off the list before next Monday they will have been putting themselves in worse territory with their fan base than they started with. They are convincing nobody about anything right now. And if they get another weird no-name to satisfy their process, the new guy will have zero honeymoon. At least half of us want Poles out now and most of us don’t like Warren either. McCaskey goes without saying. Make somebody you love an offer and make it work.
Would yall who are gonna hate on whoever we hire if it’s not Ben Johnson tell me how it’s all gonna go like can I see the script? Cause no one knows how good any of these coaches will be but McCarthy is a DAMN good coach it’s what the team needs my only fear is Caleb being developed properly who’d he bring in for the OC me personally I want Todd monken what he’s done for Lamar his experience with college & the NFL I think he’d do wonders for Caleb
But to get outside of the “old school” narrative, we have to take a chance with a younger offensive guy. If Johnson or Brady are “all that”, sign em up. Lets go.
I just hope the Bears organization recognizes that there are a lot of franchises looking for a HC, too, and don’t sit on the pot too long. This is high stakes musical chairs.
How many of those playoff wins came under a hall of fame quarterback? We are seriously gonna give McCarthy the credit for Aaron Rodgers play…get the hell out of here
Mc Carthy had 1 SB win in 13 yrs with Farve + Rodgers. I don't call that anything special. I never thought Mc Carthy was a good coach. When have you ever seen Dallas as bad. If I can't have BJ I would take Brady from Buffalo.
Ben Johnson has to be the guy. And if Poles believes the same, then we’re gonna have to wait. Even if it’s not BJ, Joe Brady, Monken, Kingsbury etc won’t be available till then either.
I look at the Bears Zoom list of candidates to call, Anthony Weaver-DC of the Dolphins? Did anyone watch the Dolphins and say, "man that defense is something else!" Drew Petzing-OC for Arizona?! This isn't American Idol try outs, what in the blue hell are they doing?! While they're wasting time on second tier candidates, the Patriots already hired Mike Vrabel. The Chargers last season in late November in the building narrowed it down to 2 guys-Vrabel and Harbaugh. They went with Harbaugh even though Vrabel interviewed very well with the Chargers. The Bears list is too broad, they should've had it narrowed down already but in classic Bears fashion they're not moving their asses. They are going to lose out and I wouldn't be surprised if Ben Johnson lands with the Raiders if Tom Brady gets a hold of him. Everything with this organization is so backward assed.
It is just INSANE, the number of people they're interviewing. This is the NFL, the top of the mountain, of Football, you should have a much more concise list by now, you fired your last head coach back at Thanksgiving. By now you should have it down to 2-3 guys and only focusing all your powers on those coaches. The bears just keep casting their net out, flailing away as if they don't know what they want. Dang, this ticks me off, how foolish they look. Yeah I hope I eat my words but c'mon...
I guess my point is that they're still adding on today. They are just throwin darts at this point...It's like you have an argument with your wife that there's too many lights on in the house and she says fine and then turns off the kitchen light while you're eating dinner. Poles is over doin it.
@@pickedknows463 I know but while they're doing phases other teams are locking in on their choices already. It's football, yes it's a business but there's only 32 teams. This isn't some forbes widget company where they're taking time for HR in hiring junior acct execs.
@@WoodyRYW Tomlin is better than Mike McCarthy. But since Tomlin isn't going to leave Pittsburgh, I have no problem with McCarthy. I think he is a better choice then Ben Johnson. So is Pete Carrol.
No to McCarthy! Nor Carroll! Theyre old school football HCs who should retire! Give Caleb a mentor who has 21st century schemes. The guy has a lot of talent and great skill set. Let us not waste this opportunity just because Warren and Poles are so enamored with their past histories? Get Johnson! Not Flores either!
McCarthy had been a middle tier coach of loser playoff teams for more than a decade. Why is he still getting jobs in the league when he clearly will never win another ring
This bears organization is in shambles. You keep poles after setting the team back , and you let him pick the next head coach for Caleb a the team. Poles is a joke man just look at him in he interviews, nervous just like when he said he was nervous having that first pick . He just got lucky with Carolina. Thanks to lovie.
hire mike mccarthy....forget about ben johnson, aaron glenn..they have never been a head coach before...for once,in their miserable existence,hire a coach with experience,and a good track record

Why not bring in Vrabel rather than a Zoom meeting if they really wanted him? Unless Vrabel was sure he wanted the Patriots job.
An intelligent man is interviewed by 2 'emotion driven' men
No wonder i stopped listening to sports radio in this city. That was painful, I have 4 minutes left I can't listen to this anymore.
Brads simping
But to get outside of the “old school” narrative, we have to take a chance with a younger offensive guy. If Johnson or Brady are “all that”, sign em up. Lets go.
I have a bad feeling it's going to be McCarthy. John Fox vibes, who also went to SB. It would be such a Bears thing to do
I just hope the Bears organization recognizes that there are a lot of franchises looking for a HC, too, and don’t sit on the pot too long. This is high stakes musical chairs.
Not sure it’ll it’s stubbornness or a lack of intelligence from the guy on the right but my god… unprofessional and embarrassing
If bears hire mike Mccarthy imma jump into lake Michigan head first 😅
If they can't get bj I'd like rivera.
How many of those playoff wins came under a hall of fame quarterback? We are seriously gonna give McCarthy the credit for Aaron Rodgers play…get the hell out of here
Mc Carthy had 1 SB win in 13 yrs with Farve + Rodgers.
I don't call that anything special. I never thought Mc Carthy was a good coach.
When have you ever seen Dallas as bad.
If I can't have BJ I would take Brady from Buffalo.
Chicago media and fans alike are so confused 😅...everyday it's a new "front runner"
Brad is right on , to bad if he hurt your feelings. You can't have it both ways. Make up your mind what your complaining about!
Ben Johnson has to be the guy. And if Poles believes the same, then we’re gonna have to wait. Even if it’s not BJ, Joe Brady, Monken, Kingsbury etc won’t be available till then either.
It worked for Andy Reid and the Chiefs
McCarthy has only shown that he can’t beat GB
Dear God please no. Anybody but McCarthy. It sounds too much like McCaskey.
I look at the Bears Zoom list of candidates to call, Anthony Weaver-DC of the Dolphins? Did anyone watch the Dolphins and say, "man that defense is something else!" Drew Petzing-OC for Arizona?! This isn't American Idol try outs, what in the blue hell are they doing?! While they're wasting time on second tier candidates, the Patriots already hired Mike Vrabel. The Chargers last season in late November in the building narrowed it down to 2 guys-Vrabel and Harbaugh. They went with Harbaugh even though Vrabel interviewed very well with the Chargers.
The Bears list is too broad, they should've had it narrowed down already but in classic Bears fashion they're not moving their asses. They are going to lose out and I wouldn't be surprised if Ben Johnson lands with the Raiders if Tom Brady gets a hold of him. Everything with this organization is so backward assed.
🤔Briggs got me interested 😅
What Poles is doing is collecting info from as many coaches on what they see the Bears have to do. That’s it he know who he wants to hire.
BIGGS TIME
Trestman, Fox, Nagy, Eberflus, and now what?
I think George McCaskey was sitting next to Biggsy on this interview the way he was talking
It is just INSANE, the number of people they're interviewing. This is the NFL, the top of the mountain, of Football, you should have a much more concise list by now, you fired your last head coach back at Thanksgiving. By now you should have it down to 2-3 guys and only focusing all your powers on those coaches. The bears just keep casting their net out, flailing away as if they don't know what they want. Dang, this ticks me off, how foolish they look. Yeah I hope I eat my words but c'mon...
They're gathering as much info on candidates as they can. Besides alot of them won't be available to be hired for a couple weeks cuz of playoffs
Last cycle they didn't interview ENOUGH people. Missed on Kevin O'Connell and Mike McDaniel
I guess my point is that they're still adding on today. They are just throwin darts at this point...It's like you have an argument with your wife that there's too many lights on in the house and she says fine and then turns off the kitchen light while you're eating dinner. Poles is over doin it.
@@chirish1 in the video, Biggs said this is the first phase and to be concerned only if they are adding candidates in the second phase.
@@pickedknows463 I know but while they're doing phases other teams are locking in on their choices already. It's football, yes it's a business but there's only 32 teams. This isn't some forbes widget company where they're taking time for HR in hiring junior acct execs.
Ownership has always been the problem , a premier coach doesn't want anything to do with the clown show in Chicago.
Only 7 coaches have taken 2 teams to the SuperBowl and only Don Shula won with both. Does McCarthy have what it takes to make it 8?
Bears need to end this search definitively. Put a package together to Pittsburgh and bring Mike Tomlin in here.
you could literally just hire Mike McCarthy if you want to do that
@@WoodyRYW Tomlin is better than Mike McCarthy. But since Tomlin isn't going to leave Pittsburgh, I have no problem with McCarthy. I think he is a better choice then Ben Johnson. So is Pete Carrol.
"He's going to be supremely motivated to beat the Packers." Chicagoan Bears fans are pathetic.
Chicago media has chosen mediocrity yet again. Being a bears fan sucks.
No to McCarthy! Nor Carroll! Theyre old school football HCs who should retire! Give Caleb a mentor who has 21st century schemes. The guy has a lot of talent and great skill set. Let us not waste this opportunity just because Warren and Poles are so enamored with their past histories? Get Johnson! Not Flores either!
I am abandoning this team if Ben Johnson isn't the next HC.
He’s great with QB’s
BOO THIS INFORMATION. BOO!
I love Brad but I’m sorry, i’d rather listen to someone scratch a chalkboard board than hear him struggle to get his words together.
McCarthy had been a middle tier coach of loser playoff teams for more than a decade. Why is he still getting jobs in the league when he clearly will never win another ring
You must forget the 2006 bears team that went to the Superbowl.
This bears organization is in shambles. You keep poles after setting the team back , and you let him pick the next head coach for Caleb a the team. Poles is a joke man just look at him in he interviews, nervous just like when he said he was nervous having that first pick . He just got lucky with Carolina. Thanks to lovie.
Bears blowing the pick again.
Haugh is such a whiner
hire mike mccarthy....forget about ben johnson, aaron glenn..they have never been a head coach before...for once,in their miserable existence,hire a coach with experience,and a good track record
I used to enjoy Brad Briggs takes. Now his takes seem empty and he’s offering counter points for the sake of it.
Long list of candidates
Bears 🐻 don't know what they're doing
Short list of candidates
Bears 🐻 don't know what they're doing
I mean wtf
Im tired of this HC 💩. Let me know when they finally hire someone
