@christopherallen5603 he sucks!

[@loris5993]

Big no on Flores or any other defensive coaxh

[@kilowolf6341]

Definitely

[@mikenintendomaster5500]

Agreed

[@kelsowilz2522]

Both types are winning Superbowls. What matters is will the HC have the locker room behind him and his Head Coach "IQ" for game time decisions. We just need the other coordinator to be competent in his play design, play calling and what players are involved in those plays. Chicago doesn't have any of this and hasn't since Lovie Smith.

[@prakustoms]

Dumbest argument

[@jesusortiz8666]

Wrong , bears identify has always been defense he is a top candidate he blitz his 40% of the time. What did the Bears do when they won the 85 Super Bowl ?

[@lukepentecost8886]

None of these guys can fix ownership.

[@johnbrennan4449]

exactly! Kevin Warren may or may not be a competent NFL Team President & CEO, but George McCaskey & the entire McCaskey family needs to stay completely out of all football decisions. the fact that George McCaskey hired Kevin Warren is the only reason why I am skeptical of Kevin Warren's competence & whether or not he is even qualified to hire the next GM, who should then be solely in charge of hiring the next HC.

[@Yui789esss]

Coming from a Redskins fan, we tried hiring Joe Gibbs, Mike Shannahan, Ron Rivera but we always ended up losing because ownership was always the issue

[@johnbrennan4449]

@@Yui789esss Joe Gibbs won 3 Super Bowls, with 3 different starting QB's, as Redskins HC.

[@BlueDan-h8d]

They're not selling the team so stop crying about it

[@johnbrennan4449]

@BlueDan-h8d you are probably right, the McCaskey's likely won't sell the team voluntarily, without significant pressure, force or coercion being applied by someone. you are also right about the fact that fans crying about it won't solve the problem. analogy time: a lot of people have been crying about America's dysfunctional healthcare system for a long long time, many many decades in fact. then along came Luigi Mangione, whose drastic actions were obviously necessary to bring attention to the problem, enough attention to hopefully & eventually lead to Universal Healthcare. this kind of drastic action might be necessary in order to force the McCaskey family to finally sell the franchise.

[@thecoltsfootleaf]

Any president, any GM, any coach, any player. Nothing changes until the McCaskey's are gone.

A culture changer is needed. That is not something for a promotion coach. Bring in an OC or DC to get his first coaching job and it will fail. Vrabel is obvious choice.

Need an o-line to make any OC look good. You can name anyone but clearly without an o-line nothing good will come from this team.

[@DaveG60134]

N for Flores

[@manny75586]

I'm a HUGE no on Flores. The Tua thing is huge. His suing the league shows me his tough guy act is a facade. I want that dude nowhere near this team. I think it was Schefty who reported it, but Thomas Dimitroff is getting hired by some team and he's already talked to Vrable about being HC. So it sounds like he's off the table. Ben Johnson is the obvious choice.

[@YT-Holdings]

@manny - I hope you are right about Mike Vrabel. I am so tired if reading the name Ben Johnson and hearing his name regarding the Bears head coaching vacancy. Ben Johnson is NOT the best candidatw for the Bears. The Lions have scored half as many TD's in every other stadium but at home and in Minnesota the last three season under Johnson. He is much better in a dome. Joe Brady and Liam Coen are better candidates.

[@jeffortman6395]

Vrabal is the only choice

[@michaelhough4215]

Where we all went wrong on assessing this team last offseason was heart. These players are not a team. We were lied to about the togetherness of this team. To many cancer bad apples

[@inaneglory7431]

Tell me Poles sucks without saying Poles sucks

[@keithsimpson2446]

Hell no on flores

[@Its_YourImagination]

If Vrabel can bring Daboll with him to be the OC then I think it can work. Daboll wont be a HC again anytime soon so he will stay put with Caleb. Lets hope the Giants move on. Let Johnson go experiment somewhere else.

[@YT-Holdings]

@ItsYourImagination - When thinking of a HC or OC, we have to think if that coach will be respected by Caleb Williams and would get along with Caleb Williams. It also matters if he can successfully call plays. Brian Daboll's teams passing stats while in New York have been towards the bottom every single season. I am surprised he is still their head coach. I agree that if the Bears hire a defensive head coach, it is best to hire an OC that will not be getting head coaching offers in the NFL. What is the fascination with Mike Vrabel? He had some winning seasons with 1 win in the playoffs. His pass defenses averaged 22nd in the NFL for his 6 seasons in Tennessee. He completely relied on Derrick Henry to win games. I would be incredibly surprised if the Bears don't hire an offensive head coach. Ryan Poles' career with the Bears is dependent on Caleb Williams and his improvement on the field.

[@cupidsworld]

Can someone answer this, was Flores an OC originally? I heard that, but can’t verify. I’m not sure about Flores, but we do need a very “not nice guy”. Vrabel sounds perfect!

[@seanmorris6300]

Kyle S from San Francisco

[@grahamb5343]

….is staying in San Francisco

[@dariendean6991]

Coen at 4 is crazy, that Tampa offense was also good under a different OC last year I think it's time to realize Baker is the reason.

[@Mrblonde112072]

Mike V or Ben J

[@Big.steppa.reese0]

Quick tell me Vrabel’s record once Arthur Smith left? Quick tell me about how good his culture was despite several players and people in the building butting heads with him? Quick tell me what’s so good about Vrabel beside ‘blah blah, leader of men, blah blah, manly vibes😂.’ Let’s stop being reactionary, Vrabel isn’t Dan Campbell and just because BEN Johnson isn’t abrasive and 250lbs doesn’t mean he can’t lead men. Listen to his press conferences - he’s a leader.

[@louielou2012]

Rumor... Peyton Manning is our new HC

[@alexwetle7745]

Oh Harrison where did we go horribly wrong w the assessment of this team last offseason? 😂

[@Grinchiest_Grinch]

George McCaskey would piss his pants speaking to someone like Mike Vrabel

[@nicholassgouros8612]

Vrabel all the way. I’m not buying this whole defensive coach/offensive coach dichotomy. It’s called “Head Coach”. A qualified candidate can walk and chew gum at the same time. Heck Jim Harbaugh came from Special Teams and look at the career he’s had.

[@YT-Holdings]

@nicholas - Effectively calling plays on either side of the ball is essential, regardless of title. Mike Vrabel is not a coach that would call offensive plays. The Bears need a coach (regardless of his title) that can help Caleb Williams and the offense improve by his coaching and playcalling. Putting the title of "Head Coach" aside, how has the Bears defense been since firing Matt Eberflus? How was the defense when Alan Williams was calling plays? Last or 2nd last in the league in points allowed. That's the point. Matt Eberflus was very good defensive playcaller and coach. Mike Vrabel benefitted from relying primarily on Derrick Henry. He is not the best head coaching candidate for the Bears. As a DC, he would be fine.

[@JayRow1101]

My only source of bears content now 😔

[@gregoryalwes9092]

Ben Johnson YES YES YES!!!

[@coxscorner]

Vrabel is like the John Fox of a decade or so ago. After the Trestman fiasco, the locker room was in shambles and the Bears wanted a nice consistent veteran who would command respect and build a winning culture in Chicago so they brought in John Fox. Fox had taken two different teams to conference championship games and had coached on 3 different teams that went to a Superbowl. He was a dismal failure in Chicago probably because the GM didnt know how to draft. Don't make the same mistake we did before, we are good at it. Hire Ben Johnson and go for it!

[@darealchops]

Regular season isn't over and I'm already dreading this off-season. 😭 Mock draft/coach search suplex city incoming

[@scottblair7441]

Vrabel is the one I want. Johnson will just be another hot candidate that fails us

[@Big.steppa.reese0]

Liam Coen> Vrabel

[@grod6026]

Either Joe Brady or Ben Johnson for me

[@kelsowilz2522]

Don't think Flores is belittling players in Minnesota and he's got to know that what he was doing in Miami is out and bad. So yeah, if he wouldn't do that in Chicago then for sure he should seriwously be considered.

[@angusnegrin]

Ben Johnson is the guy.

[@eddiemurphy5833]

I would like a coach that has had success with a rookie quarter back or someone who mad a crappy one good again

[@danielfaflik4545]

Does a scenario exist where Vrabal is brought in as the DC/Asst HC?

[@kyleslusher4642]

I’ve been saying it for years. They HAVE TO sell this team. Ownership is broken there is no direction with this franchise. We have to break the cycle of defensive head coaches. We need an offensive minded coach. Ben Johnson might be the best option and get Mike Vrabel as a defensive coordinator to work his way back to a head coach.

[@mikebenninghoff]

Curious to see how your viewership changes with the CHGO leadership fuckup today. I’ll be watching your stuff more than theirs now.

[@RissShot]

Is the HC candidate a defensive minded coach, if the answer to that is yes, it’s a non starter. You NEED to bring in an OC

[@jnys27]

If that’s the top 5 we are screwed lol they’ll miss out on Ben Johnson and settle on Vrabel/McDaniels. It might not be terrible but at the same time definitely not too thrilling.

[@bowhunter8532]

Hell no on Flores. Dude sued the league. Nothing but trouble.

[@dariendean6991]

We need stability at offensive play caller so I hope we hire an offensive coach. I want Ben Johnson or Joe Brady but I prefer Ben Johnson because Joe Brady has a freak athlete at QB while Caleb is a much better athlete than Jared Goff. And I just think Ben Johnson is a genius.

[@alexamerling79]

Vrabel. This team needs a biig time culture change. If he goes with McDaniels, that wouldn't be too bad considering he probably wouldn't be poached as a HC candidate. If not him, Ben Johnson or Joe Brady.

[@mikenintendomaster5500]

I can live with this except Joe he not HC caliber

[@tacticaltradingpennystocks7206]

My sentiments exactly. I wouldn’t mind any of the 3

[@Big.steppa.reese0]

[@jesusortiz8666]

You are wrong about baker mayfield he has 32 tds and 3,700 yds he is a star now

[@kelsowilz2522]

My top 5 are Pete Carroll, Jon Gruden, Mike Vrable, Lovie Smith and Brian Flores.

[@grahamb5343]

Ok, stay away from Kevin Warren

[@kelsowilz2522]

@grahamb5343 What's that supposed to mean?

[@vernonjgeorge8700]

NO not when we have a QB the likes of Tua maybe Flores has learned from this don't know and the only reason I'm saying no is we should have offensive mind this time around

[@Grinchiest_Grinch]

First six games in next season Flores will tell Caleb "should've drafted Drake Maye"

[@LBDAD54]

It needs to be Vrabel and need to sign a real OC.

[@jeromewortham3848]

The Bears needs to stop playing. Hire Vrabel under the condition he hires McDaniels as the OC. Two guys with experience. No more new head coaches. Pay them whatever they want.

[@Magicmike12]

Why would you bring in a coach like Mike V. where we already know his limit, your saying I hope we could win the division with him, so let’s do what Chicago has done in the past, hire someone that has failed as a coach before, the failing is what I’m talking about….

[@StevenLolli]

[@tb5928]

Most of these fans will say no for Flores regardless.. and it has nothing to do with football ability

[@tacticaltradingpennystocks7206]

I would take Vrable/McDaniels in a heartbeat. McDaniels may not be suited as a HC, but as an OC.. This guy has vast experience, has worked closely with the greatest HC & QB of all time, for years, and has been successful in this league. Plus, the hard nosed boss mentality of Vrable, This might be exactly what The Bears need

[@Downtownboys]

Harbaugh, period!

[@michaelhough4215]

Charlie Weiss developed Tom Brady. Period

[@michaelhough4215]

Once again. Brady was already developed when McDaniels git to him. In fact he was multiple times super bowl mvp already. Brady developed McDaniels. Please stop saying that

[@jimmyo68]

I'll say it again, Arthur Smith (PIT OC) should make the list for an interview. Did great work as OC for TEN years ago, did a decent job with ATL as HC with the weapons he had on offense. He has done a phenomenal job resurrecting Russell Wilson and the PIT offense. He checks the boxes, prior HC, strong offensive mind. He has adjusted his game plan and made excellent in-game adjustments against different teams. week after week. He went ground and pound when they had to play ground and pound, simplified offense for Justin Fields first six weeks, etc. Nobody had PIT at 10-4 heading for playoffs.

[@OutlawedOutlander]

You do know he used Atlantas main weapons as, in his words, “decoys”.
