I love Hoge but go listen to the Hoge and Jahns episode when Flus was hired. They were loving the selection. That being said, Ben Johnson is definitely the simple choice here
Haven't been listening live lately life has been kind of hectic recently. great show as always CHGO da best. Happy New Year everyone let's have a great year with many blessings lord knows we could use them
@@treyfonner1949 I like Vrabel as well but Ron Rivera has two super bowls..one as HC one as DC and also part of the 85 Defense that won a super bowl. If you’re looking for hard ass, check the Utube of him hammering his Carolina guys at half time.
I watched the Jags game from my couch like I watch all Bears games and it was still my number one moment of the season. We knew we were taking Caleb at the draft and I had actual hope for the year after the Jags win.
Campbell actually made a good point point about playing the starters. Because of how thin they are with injury, they would have only been able to sit six starters. Who do you sit and who do you start?
@ My argument ‘for’ Ron is that he’s a highly intelligent (NFL football smart) head coach who can be an ultimate hard ass (watch Utube on his locker room hammer of Carolina players) yet very articulate, and tempered in his communication. He’s worked with a complex circumstance at QB and got that team into the Super Bowl. He’s acutely aware of the need for a good Offensive Coordinator if he’s a HC and he literally super charged Lovie’s Defense, the one year they completely dominated on defense with an awkward offense. Actually.. outside of Johnson he’s the ‘most qualified’ to run a Mccaskey team and could be a huge help to Johnson if Johnson is the guy.
Exactly, every blogger and fan is an arm chair GM/HC coming at the world with their cliche talking points. 1) McCaskey suck they need to sell 2) Poles sucks should be fired 3) Poles built the team wrong from the outside in 4) Should’ve fired Flus last year and hired Harbaugh Which I get but dang come out with some nuance.
How are you guys gonna compare Mike Vrabel who never made it anywhere near a Super Bowl as a coach to Andy Reid who made one Super Bowl and 4 nfc championships in a row in Philly and then Mcvay . Who made 2 superbowls and won 1?? That is just plain stupid . Sorry . You guys usually say pretty legitimate comparisons. But this one was a major flop. Matt Lafluer maybe . Wins enough in regular season. Never reaches Super Bowl . Wins a few games they shouldn’t in playoffs but overall … nothing special. That’s Vrabel also
It would be a travesty if the bears don’t talk to Gruden! How can you not want one of the best football minds, the most passionate about the game, and a guy who want to say fuck you to the league by showing what he can do! Come on, don’t just write this off fellas! It’s criminal not to go after him!
@ I would say the same. I doubt any of the top two or even three are going to be lead around by the McCaskey jerk routine. The world of US Football is not at all fooled by his intent to increase the value of his assets and then sell them off. He continues to hire people who fall into his black hole of sudo-corporate business structure full of board room non-decisions. Poles and Warren are posers who are chosen to suck energy, talent and money into the McCaskey vortex.
Given Hoge track record anything he saids about the Bears should be taken with a grain of salt. Basically he just a cheerleader. Any experienced NFL HCs will have to dismantle this team. Looking at another losing season. Maybe two losing seasons.
No good Head Coach hire I coming here with Ryan Poles as your GM. Ben Johnson will only come to Chicago if the Bears will hire someone like John Dorsey out of Detroits front office. DO NOT EXTEND RYAN POLES! RYAN POLES IS A DISASTER.
Loser of Lions Vikings really doesn’t matter in my opinion they’ll play each other again in the divisional round because both teams will be the Bucs. Either team would not play Philly until the championship game if Philly makes it

Hoge acting like he knows better than everyone else, yet again.
I’m in Melbourne Australia!! This place is amazing!!!! Best Summer weather you can ask for! Go Bears! Happy New Year!!!
Haven't been listening live lately life has been kind of hectic recently. great show as always CHGO da best. Happy New Year everyone let's have a great year with many blessings lord knows we could use them
I would take Vrabel. Checks alot of boxes. Love the breakdown yall just gave. Great info

Mike Shanahan, Jon Gruden should be the top two! Forget making an OC a head coach! By the way, broom Poles!!!!!!
Thats why they should've hired Harbaugh last year. He checks all your boxes Hogue.
JOHN GRUDEN needs consideration!
Thank you ChGO!!!! great year! Very much appreciated!!!
Maybe Adam should ask Cole Kmet why he isn't blocking instead of having a bromance
Where does Ron Rivera align? HC in one Super Bowl and D C in one Super Bowl.
also won a super bowl as a player for the BEARS!! 👍

Nate got his start up $ via DaBears!
I think McCaskey continues to try to hire ‘himself’ in the guys he hires. He is scared to death of not having control.
If John Gruden is eligible to be interviewed by the NFL the Chicago Bears should make him one of their top choices.
Nah. Stop falling in love with silly stuff. Gruden hasn’t been relevant forever
@pg-mr7ucdd explain your foolishness
Carm…
Fuzbusters were life savers
This is the time of the year when every blogger and fan is a expert evaluator with no experience 😂😂
Bruh. 100%. That’s why I’m not ready for another offseason
Why you tryna roast people for having an opinion? There’s always someone out there that wanna turn down the fun.
I know, it makes me sick.
I've been a Bears fan for over 50 years & I can say I hate 80% of Bears fans.

1) McCaskey suck they need to sell
2) Poles sucks should be fired
3) Poles built the team wrong from the outside in

@@derrekgrapp7421it’s brutal. It’s like meathead comment after meathead comment. Negative constantly with just crazy statements.
It's not 🚀 science, it's either Ben Johnson or Mike Vrabel.
Facts
Fire Ryan Poles
Hire Jon Gruden now ! Get that talented young quarterback gone help and get this team into competitive shape .
How are you guys gonna compare Mike Vrabel who never made it anywhere near a Super Bowl as a coach to Andy Reid who made one Super Bowl and 4 nfc championships in a row in Philly and then Mcvay .

The intro is always so loud then the rest of the show is so quiet

Ben Johnson is a no-brainer. Better not f this up
Lets get Johnson as HC.. Ron Rivera as DC
Ben Johnson isn't coming to Chicago if Ryan Poles is the GM.
@@brianbelden2449yeah he will

Carm is so terrible it’s insane should’ve kept Alex Brown and nick
Hire Vrabil!
It's not 2025

Mike Vrabel's record was in Matt Nagy territory. Vrabel's head coaching candidacy really has the feeling of a lobbying campaign to me.
Here is the most important aspect we should be looking at for a coach hire. Is his name John Gruden?
Why would want another overhyped HC that will build another .500 football team?
@@brianbelden2449 Why not? Mike Vrabel is an overhyped head coach and the other two have never been head coaches at all. Gruden has a ring !
