Starting off with a couple of no brainers (Bears requesting both Lions coordinators)

Jets, Bears and Saints have also asked about Glenn.

Expect the Lions coordinators to be popular; have seen some speculation that Aaron Glenn might be a good choice for the Saints...

More about Johnson...

THe mention of wanting "alignment" with the front office could mean a couple of things. He might have someone from Detroit he's hoping to take with him. If so, he could be looking for a team that's doing a full house cleaning (but not the Jets).

In light of the rumor that he wanted to go to Jacksonville, it's worth pointing out that at least for now the jaguars have retained GM Trent Baalke (heaven only knows why) but owner Shad Khan has stated that the next head coach will report directly to him. 

Is that "alignment"? 🤔

Potentially interesting...

Poles calls Lions OC Ben Johnson a "brilliant play caller" but says that what the Bears need is a "leader of men".

May very well just be posturing, but it could be that's the profile of what the Bears want in a head coach.

I think it's more posturing towards the Bears fan base because he knows Johnson would be a long shot to take the job but it's who the fan base likely wants to pair with Williams.

It's his way of making it look like they're turning him down as opposed to him turning them down.

I think he'll consider the Jags and Patriots because of their QB situation, but I said it in a thread the other day, I very well could see him stay in Detroit for one last season to try and get hired by whoever has the #1 pick next year so he gets Manning as his QB.

Not the world's biggest Trevor Lawrence fan but if I'm choosing between him and Caleb Williams... 😕

The Bears offensive weapons would be really appealing, but I think when you combine the awfulness of that franchise over the years and how good the rest of that division is looking for at least the next 5 years or so, it just wouldn't be the job I'd take if I was Johnson.  

Sure the Patriots have to deal with the Bills, but the NFC North has the Lions on the same level and then the Packers and Vikings are certainly better than the Dolphins and Jets right now and over the next few years.

Chicago has long been where quarterbacks and offensive coaches go to die.

Johnson is absolutely the guy I'd want if I was the Bears but I'm not sure I'd want the Bears if I'm Johnson. It all boils down to what he thinks of Caleb Williams. No questioning the WR talent and everyone knows they need to address the OL no matter what.

If I had to choose between the Bears and the Pats, that's a no brainer. The Bears have a roster built to win. New England is pretty far away from that.

Also, do I want a team that stuck with a bum like Eberflus too long or fired a hand picked New England guy after one year?

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
