Any new head coach knows the first order of business after getting hired is assembling a staff as quickly as possible. However, there isn't much time to waste because preparations for the off-season begin soon. The East-West Shrine Bowl takes place on January 30th. Then, the Senior Bowl follows on...
Matt Eberflus needed to do a lot of things to get fired midseason. It had never happened in Chicago Bears history. Yet he managed to pull it off. It came from a variety of factors. There was the ongoing offensive ineptitude sparked mostly by his horrible staff choices. Players hinted at his...
With a new head coach coming in, it was only a matter of time before staff changes followed. The only unknown was whether any of them would be retained. It isn't unheard of. Ben Johnson should know that. He was retained from one staff to another in both Miami and Detroit. Fans waited to see if...

Ben Johnson wanted to become the Chicago Bears' head coach. That had become true going back to 2023.

When Lovie Smith became the head coach of the Chicago Bears in 2004, he knew he had to convey a message to the fans. This organization had been beaten down by constant losing for most of the previous decade. Something needed to be said that would give them a jolt of excitement. So he stepped to the...
Ryan Poles survived what could've been his downfall. Matt Eberflus reached a disastrous end as head coach. Nate Davis was cut midseason. Caleb Williams was sacked 67 times. It was a complete fiasco, and much of the blame fell at the feet of the Chicago Bears GM. Despite this, ownership decided to...
Sean McVay burst onto the NFL scene like a lightning bolt in 2017. He'd been a successful offensive coordinator in Washington but was only 30 years old. It was hard to imagine he could be a good head coach at such a young age. The Los Angeles Rams made the playoffs his first year, reached the Super...
