00:00How do you feel like others are viewing the Bears right now in this entire?

00:04Whether it's the head coaching search the possibility of a GM search, which is kind of still I guess possible

00:11What are you hearing about the Bears in that?

00:14regard

00:15I've heard nothing different from the reality that they're going to do everything they can to try to enhance

00:22The development and the performance in the career of Caleb Williams. That's the goal

00:26That's the prerogative and there's different names that have come up people are making the argument for Mike variable

00:31Well, he's a defensive coach

00:32You better have a good offensive coach that you're prepared to lose if things go well because that offensive coach will become a head coach

00:38somewhere else

00:39There's a strong belief out there and I I hold it that you should give Ben Johnson a blank check

00:46You know last year

00:47I think it was Schefter that eventually reported that teams were scared off by Ben Johnson wanting so much money

00:54Without telling you how much money he wanted it's hard. It's hard to know if that's reasonable for team to react that way

01:00I think there's collusion that happens when it comes to coaching pay and guess what?

01:04Whatever he wanted last year. He's worth it and then some based on what we've seen this year

01:09So, you know that dynamic of GM and coach is critical

01:13Is Ryan Pohl's comfortable bringing a guy in who might try to take over might try to undermine Ryan Pohl's?

01:19Those are things that aren't conducive to winning

01:23But they are very real factors that can influence which way a decision goes

01:28because if I'm looking at two candidates and one guy is gonna undermine me and the other guy is going to basically

01:34Respect me and defer to me

01:36I might be more inclined for my own purposes to go with that guy

01:40Even if it's better for the team to go with the other guy
