I was super excited about Matt Nagy, but honestly BJ has the plusses of Nagy but with the (big deal) added bonus of having called plays. And, trying to say this in the nicest way possible, but something tells me "Motor City Dan Campbell" may not be the source of offensive sophistication over there.

G08 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 You all know who one of Ben Johnson's biggest mentors is, right? Yep. John Shoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However... I don't think I'd hate Leslie Frazier here as DC, mostly because we wouldn't have to overhaul what we've been building defensively (not saying we're any good but...)

The bad part is we won't know for a few years if Poles is good or bad too. - If he said he wanted to put heavy pressure on Fields and the coaching staff in a sink or swim mode and gather high draft picks if they don't do well. *chef's kiss* Hopefully he and Warren can decide on a better HC and staff for the next QB. - If they had full intentions of competing for the NFL North now that GB and MIN have taken a step back, then he has sucked something fierce and just has been lucky. Hopefully Warren has a better eye for talent for HCs and GMs than the Bears' top brass. When Lovie is the best you've put forward in 30 years... 🤮 Warren should have been up front and met with everyone from Poles down in the management tree and been able to get their "honest" expectations for the season, where they think they are now as a team and how their responsibilities should help lead the area they control. That should at least give Warren some insight as to their plans and execution of said plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should at least give Warren some insight as to their plans and execution of said plans. It seems like Warren is pretty well connected so I am hoping, at minimum, he will have insight into an up-and-coming head coach / offensive mind. I don't think Poles' job is on the line but who knows. If we have the #1 overall pick I would understand detonating the franchise and bringing in a brand new GM, head coach etc. Selfishly, I'm just tired of the perpetual rebuild. Feels like the mf'ing Cleveland Browns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is broad, but since when is sending people to scout opponents plays illegal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
