00:00But it is a unified vision that Ben Johnson has been a part of for a good long while here and understands

00:06How it's supposed to work, but is there a danger in that of course?

00:09Is there a danger in the group think of you have to get that one guy and nothing else will do look

00:16There's a danger for every offensive thinker

00:18I love Dirk cutter admitting to it the other day when we talked to Dirk cutter about does Todd Muggin get enamored with the pass

00:23Game sometimes and forget that he should run the ball and Dirk cutters like yeah

00:27We all do we all get excited about designing plays and look at these

00:31Interesting sets and look at my route tree and then and then you forget. Oh, yeah, you just got to run the ball

00:37I loved I loved that answer. So is there a danger that Ben Johnson comes here and forgets that that's important

00:42Yes, and if it dovetails with a lack of personnel making that look good

00:46Could that it could be cause for some alarm sure, of course

00:49But every one of these guys comes with some concerns every one of them is a gamble even McCarthy's a gamble

00:55You know, it's a

00:58But it's he might be an idiot

01:00He might be there's been a lot of times where he really has seemed like a coaching idiot. He's also one

01:06I know but and he's done the job

01:09This would maybe think it was broken when Taddy said dude, I don't put the words in your mouth

01:13What did you say? What'd you say? Go ahead. However, it came across it came across this

01:16I really think they should just hire Mike McCarthy. You know what like you don't want to miss out on Mike McCarthy

01:20I'm like that well to yourself. I never said that they don't want to miss out

01:25I am feeling like he is the best option available

01:29I think him and Pete Carroll are

01:31Toss up and I would go with the younger guy and I don't mean to be an ageist

01:34But let's on average we think Kayla will be here five years, right? So do you want a 78 year old?

01:39Do you think you trust them to find the coordinator? He couldn't hire one in Shane Waldron

01:45You know, so do you trust him that he'll have his his, you know predecessor in place for Caleb for the next

01:51Few years after that so I think not necessarily but what if I said this to you, so maybe it's not Pete Carroll

01:56This is why I think you got to go after Ben Johnson. This is this is your stay calm voice

02:00Okay, your stay calm voice says know that you're going after Ben Johnson and you hope to get him

02:05You might not get him

02:06Maybe you take him all the way to the end and the Raiders, you know outbid you or he decides

02:11Honestly, he'd rather be with the Raiders and you're like man. Did the Bears get played yada yada
