Ben Johnson is our new coach.

Not sure who that guy is that Tweeted that but I hope he succeeds for the Bears. And think he can help Caleb, although the QB coach and OC will be working a lot closer with Caleb.

The guy that said that in the Lions organization could be wrong but Johnson and McDaniels are a little similar as far as
brilliant OC's who are a bit introverted. Just glad the Raiders didn't hire him. I would prefer an exp HC.

Never seemed introverted in all the Lions games I watched. Mcdaniels constant HC failures are because of ego. Both times he jettisoned talent because his system was all you needed. I would be shocked if Johnson was anything like that.

Ben Johnson smoked Carl Lewis in Seoul.

Sorry, wrong Ben.

Something I found interesting was that when Ben Johnson was hired he stated one of the reasons he wanted the Bears is because it was a family like atmosphere. The Bears have been ridiculed in the past about being a "nice place like a Mom and Pop shop." I always thought that was a good thing personally and it seems to have paid off. The only thing that was missing was money.

On another note, I think the "Sell the team" chants made a big mark on pushing our ownership. *high fives all around for late game home game Bears fans*

Some chatter about DJ Moore's expressions/body language during the presser. Not sure if that's just DJ or what, or if people are reading WAY too much into it... I mean, I can see shifting in my seat when a guy is basically saying, "Get ready to work your a$$ off!, etc...". DJ has been around the block a few times, so maybe (hopefully) its just a, "Heard this all before.", kinda thing?

Eh, probably just folks digging up something to complain about.

DJ Moore's body language discussion is starting to enter Smokin' Jay levels of ridiculous.

That walking off the field still rubs me the wrong way......

Ben Johnson botyom of the hour on The Herd if anyone is interested.......

DJ has never been a 'rah-rah, let's go get 'em kids' type of player. And if anyone had a reason to have a bit of a 'tude last season, it was he. I'm more than willing to cut him some slack going into this season now that we have an offense-oriented coach running the show. I'll agree if he still is showing some moping thruout this year, then maybe we have a problem on our hands.

From Jay Galzer on X:

The @chicagobears made big news this week when they hired their new head coach this week in Ben Johnson. But they also have had an innovative hire on staff that most don’t know about, a retired US Army Lt Colonel named Andy Riise, who serves as the Bears Mental Performance and Leadership Coordinator.
Since much of sports performance truly comes down to the 6 inches between our ears my hope is that more teams begin to build mental health and performance STAFFS.
