But it is a unified vision that Ben Johnson has been a part of for a good long while here and understands
00:06
How it's supposed to work, but is there a danger in that of course?
00:09
Is there a danger in the group think of you have to get that one guy and nothing else will do look
00:16
There's a danger for every offensive thinker
00:18
I love Dirk cutter admitting to it the other day when we talked to Dirk cutter about does Todd Muggin get enamored with the pass
00:23
Game sometimes and forget that he should run the ball and Dirk cutters like yeah
00:27
We all do we all get excited about designing plays and look at these
00:31
Interesting sets and look at my route tree and then and then you forget. Oh, yeah, you just got to run the ball
00:37
I loved I loved that answer. So is there a danger that Ben Johnson comes here and forgets that that's important
00:42
Yes, and if it dovetails with a lack of personnel making that look good
00:46
Could that it could be cause for some alarm sure, of course
00:49
But every one of these guys comes with some concerns every one of them is a gamble even McCarthy's a gamble
00:55
You know, it's a
00:58
But it's he might be an idiot
01:00
He might be there's been a lot of times where he really has seemed like a coaching idiot. He's also one
01:06
I know but and he's done the job
01:09
This would maybe think it was broken when Taddy said dude, I don't put the words in your mouth
01:13
What did you say? What'd you say? Go ahead. However, it came across it came across this
01:16
I really think they should just hire Mike McCarthy. You know what like you don't want to miss out on Mike McCarthy
01:20
I'm like that well to yourself. I never said that they don't want to miss out
01:25
I am feeling like he is the best option available
01:29
I think him and Pete Carroll are
01:31
Toss up and I would go with the younger guy and I don't mean to be an ageist
01:34
But let's on average we think Kayla will be here five years, right? So do you want a 78 year old?
01:39
Do you think you trust them to find the coordinator? He couldn't hire one in Shane Waldron
01:45
You know, so do you trust him that he'll have his his, you know predecessor in place for Caleb for the next
01:51
Few years after that so I think not necessarily but what if I said this to you, so maybe it's not Pete Carroll
01:56
This is why I think you got to go after Ben Johnson. This is this is your stay calm voice
02:00
Okay, your stay calm voice says know that you're going after Ben Johnson and you hope to get him
02:05
You might not get him
02:06
Maybe you take him all the way to the end and the Raiders, you know outbid you or he decides
02:11
Honestly, he'd rather be with the Raiders and you're like man. Did the Bears get played yada yada
