I get it to a degree.
We’ve been fooled too many times to get fooled again.
I am in that boat too.
You won’t catch me predicting playoffs and double digit wins next year.
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me for like 30 years, shame on me.
I am not saying Ben Johnson is the savior.
I am not predicting Super Bowls.
I just want to acknowledge good things objectively when they happen.
The Bears Head Coaching searches have been an absolute disaster going back to basically Dave Wannstedt.
Think of all the missteps along the way.
They lucked into Lovie after failing to get their top choice.
Getting Ben Johnson feels like a departure from that era.
Somehow the Bears “made Johnson feel good”.
The Bears managed to get the guy that everyone wanted.
Getting Johnson in as an offensive head coach and tying him to Caleb does objectively make sense though.
The Bears didn’t make the mistakes they’ve always made.
They weren’t comically cheap.
They also have a promising young quarterback.
All things that have never happened in Chicago before.
I think that is worth celebrating.
Dennis Allen sounds like he is in.
I’ve seen the Lions OL coach discussed as the OC…like that too.
The changes appear to be good.
They got their guy.
