00:00Here's what's also odd to me.

00:03Everything the Chicago Bears are doing.

00:06Every single thing the Bears are doing, I don't like.

00:09I don't agree with.

00:10I know at times you've mentioned you have, Donny.

00:14To me, when you look at the Chicago Bears, what is the most important thing?

00:21Everybody knows, right?

00:23It's Kayla Williams.

00:24And if you look at the Jacksonville Jaguars job, right?

00:26What's the most important thing?

00:27Trevor Lawrence.

00:29So every single interview the Jaguars make, Liam Cohen, Ben Johnson, right?

00:35They try and bring in Joe Brady.

00:38They're Kellen Moore, right?

00:41The Bears.

00:42All right.

00:43Now, let's go down the list of guys that have won a Super Bowl.

00:45Let's get them into the...

00:46McCarthy, you want to come down?

00:47Please.

00:48Great.

00:49Okay.

00:50Can we get Pete Carroll in the mix?

00:51Awesome.

00:52You know what?

00:53That's not good enough.

00:54Let's go to the college game.

00:55Marcus Freeman.

00:56What?

00:57Yeah, no, no.

00:59You know what?

01:00The Chicago Bears made for Mike Tomlin?

01:01Sears are like, no.

01:02All right.

01:03We almost had...

01:04What is this?

01:05What is this?

01:06The Chicago Bears do not look like, in any capacity, they are trying to make a hire with

01:10Kayla Williams in mind.

01:12They look like they are trying to bring in a guy who can go, I won once, even if all

01:18of these guys haven't won anything within over a decade, Joe.

01:21Well, think about their former player that they also interviewed, Ron Rivera, that couldn't

01:26win in Washington, right?

01:27I mean, you want that guy in your organization now as a head coach.

01:31It's amazing.

01:32I agree with you.

01:33And we talked about the hot coordinators, potential coordinators to team up with Kayla

01:38Williams.

01:39Kingsbury, and now Kingsbury has come out and said he's going to wait until after the

01:43playoffs.

01:44Ben Johnson, you know, slow-ick.

01:46You want to throw Cohen into the mix as being one of the most, you know, bright minds from

01:51an offensive perspective.

01:52You need an offensive guy to come into Chicago and light things up, especially when you think

01:59about the coordinators and the teams that you're going up against just from the division.

02:03Jordan Love with LaFleur.

02:05I'm not saying LaFleur lived up to expectations in that gutless loss to Philly, but throughout

02:09the body of work, he at least stepped up.

02:12Minnesota, O'Connell, you have young head coaches, right?

02:15Dan Campbell, assuming that he gets another hot coordinator, taking over and the play.

02:20You need to have an offense that could score 24 to 28 points, Donnie, every single week.

02:25They can't go the route of McCarty.

02:28You're going to go to Mike McCarty as your head coach?

02:32That's terrible.

02:33I'll tell you this.

02:34I'll throw the Jets in there, too, because they're Darren Rizzi, any name we could scrape

02:40up off the street, we'll interview, we'll get somebody from Dairy Queen while we're

02:45at it.

02:46I mean, it's a joke.

02:47The coaches that have actually fired their, you know, teams that have actually fired their

02:50coaches for meaning, because they stink, and they're looking for new coaches, same

02:52way you get into the draft, and you're the one pick looking for a quarterback, why your

02:55quarterback stinks.

02:56I actually like what Chicago's doing.

02:57I'll say it, and I'm glad they haven't hired anybody.

02:59And the more people they ask, they don't want to hire Mike Tomlin.

03:02They want Mike Tomlin in a room for three hours, like, you know what, you win football

03:06games, we don't.

03:07Just lay out your entire year for us, and we're going to all write it down, we're going

03:10to film it, we're going to make sure everything is correct.

03:12They even booed Arthur Smith!

03:14Doesn't matter.

03:15You actually had an offense that got first downs.

03:17We don't do that.

03:18How'd you get the first first down of the season here at this point?

03:20This is, they're just gathering intel because they have no idea what they're doing as an

03:24organization.

03:25So I appreciate a team that goes out, you're in sales back in the day.

03:29If you're a bad salesman, you know what they do.

03:30We're going to send you out to Zig Ziglar.

03:32He's going to tell you how to sell.

03:33If you're a bad real estate agent, hey, go sit with good real estate agents so you might

03:36be able to pick something up.

03:38Oh, you actually make phone calls and meet clients?

03:40I've never done that in the past.

03:41That's the Bears.

03:42Is Grandma Bear in the room?

03:43Hey, how about your chocolate cookies?

03:45Are they good?

03:46They're asking every question.

03:48Everything's bad in Chicago.

03:49But what about the closing?

03:51Always be closing.

03:52It takes a set of, you know what, brisks.

03:54They don't close.

03:55It takes a set of brisks.

03:56You know what?

03:57Here's the thing, right?

03:59The idea that they're just trying to bring in anybody who's ever won a football game.

04:02They don't even want to hire him.

04:03They just want to steal the ball.

04:06They obviously want to hire Mike Tomlin.

04:09They requested to trade for him.

04:11Yeah, but that's just to get him in the room.

04:13No, it's not.

04:14I don't even think you get to get him in the room.

04:16Let's work out compensation.

04:17A first round pick this year, they get him in the room, interview him, and they're like,

04:19hey, you know what?

04:20We're not going to trade for him anymore.

04:21We just got all stolen.

04:22Yeah, that isn't what's going on.

04:25But OK, let's go, because this is where this is an issue to me.

04:29Do you think that Mike Tomlin, for what the Bears' current situation is, would be a good

04:35hire?

04:36Yes.

04:37Well, for what the Bears want.

04:38For guests.

04:39The Bears would be like, you come to town, you win one more game than you lose.

04:44That's how bad you are.

04:45But that's what Chicago wants, though.

04:46That is what they want.

04:47They need stability.

04:48They don't want to win a championship.

04:49That is not what they want.

04:50Yes.

04:51Hold on a second.

04:52Maybe we don't have the pulse of Chicago here.

04:53We need a couple of people to do this.

04:54You think Chicago wants to win a Super Bowl?

04:57Well, I mean, they do.

04:58Well, typically, yeah.

04:59That's who you're going to war with.

05:00Yes, that's who you're going to war with.

05:01No, but wait a second.

05:02Let me be scriptural and right in the middle for a second.

05:03No, no, no.

05:04What I'm saying is their moves have not indicated that they're serious about winning a Super

05:11Bowl.

05:12I think I can buy into that.

05:13They're not going to win a Super Bowl there.

05:14No, no.

05:15They're not.
