Jeremiah Smith would be a top 5 pick if he was draft eligible.

The Greathouse kid is aptly named.

No quit in ND. Freeman is a very good coach.

They only need 6 field goals to win it.

Why are you kicking that FG?

OSU figured it out after the Michigan loss…

I AM LOVING THIS.

I'm SICK of blowouts! Clearly too many teams making this playoff. Should be limited to just 1 team making the playoffs next year!

All still rumors at this point.

Been coaching at his HS Alma Mater for a few years. I think Bill Belichick might be able to give him a few pointers....he'll be fine. ND and Patriots is a good enough resume

See Ambrose's post below yours. He's a Rita, ND, NE guy.

I know I'm a Detective guys but this is a layup if you follow HS Football, Catholic League Football, especially South Side, this is a easy one. Hard clues given, currently coaches at Alma Mater, played for ND and Patriots....

Does his name rhyme with Various Lemming?

Zorich?

He didn't play for New England. I am not sure if he is coaching at CVS, but I have not heard that.

Zorich?

Breaking news the Bears have reached out to me about interviewing for the Head Coaching position, apparently they like work I’ve done with my middle school team and want to leave no stone unturned while trying to find the best possible coach.

I'm as surprised as anyone here you didn't get the job. Once again, I feel the Bears have missed out on the best candidate

Meh.

Would have been my response to whomever was hired. It's a defense mechanism for me now. Short of ownership change, I am intentionally avoiding the trap of getting my hopes up about anything regarding this franchise

I have to say Ben Johnson was my number 3 below Carrol and McCarthy. That said I am happy with the pick. To be fair my only concern is if he has a strong enough personality to make culture changes and stand up to our dysfunctional management team. He seems like a great guy and I am happy he is a Bear. Let’s hope he has the freedom to make the necessary changes.
Da Bears!

I thought you were a Chiefs fan. Why would you care what the Bears do?

I was originally a Chiefs fan and I became a Bears fan when Walter was on the team in 1977. I have said that many times here. I still do like the Chiefs. When I was at the Bears game in KC in 2015 I was not hoping KC would win and I was one of the first guys jumping up and screaming when Forte caught that winning TD pass right in front of us with seconds left. I do care what the Bears do and I wish I didn't. The White Sox are the team I dumped before the 2024 season in favor of my original fandom of the Yankees. Not looking back on that one. LOL

My college roomie and best friend in KC is a Chiefs and also a Bears fan. He has season tickets for the Chiefs but with him, like me, the Bears come first. We have been that way ever since we have known each other, 1979.

I can't disagree. I just hope they don't wreck the guy. They do have a history of doing things like that. LOL

I have to believe they might have gotten out of their own way on this one…

The Bears need more help than just a good head coach. I am not getting overly excited about this.

Ya, no one knows if he will be good or not. But the Bears got the “hot” coordinator for once and the guy they wanted from the get go. No one is asking you to get overly excited. Bears did good, it’s ok to be happy today.

If we're judging by one game they should have gone with the guy who threw the ball from the one yard line in the Super Bowl or the guy with a recent history of choking in the playoffs?

There were some who were skeptical about Nagy based on a playoff game KC lost when they were beating the Titans in 2017 and he went conservative. Maybe they knew something. Maybe they didn't. I hope he does well. I am just not too confident he well in Chicago with this organization and who runs it. I have a lot of history on my side to feel this way.

Seems to me I remember all the hoopla when Dave Wannstedt was hired. And he ended up 40-56 in Chicago and was a big disappointment. I seem to remember the consensus was mostly positive when Matt Nagy was hired and he ended up being run out of town. This is why I am an "I will believe it when I see it" kind of guy. If he works out great. But if he doesn't I will say what the hell is the difference? Just another coaching corpse on the pile. The Bears need more help than just a good head coach. I am not getting overly excited about this.
