LaFleur's entire vibe on it is.

what the hell did I do?

I just work here.

And, you know, and implicit in that is it's not supposed to be that way among the coaches because we see what happens.

Assistant coach spends a year with the Bengals and then the assistant coach spends a year with the dolphins.

And then the assistant coach gets a promotion to the jet.

And then after a couple of years, the window opens to be a head coach and he takes a job with the Texans.

I mean, it's,

there's no real loyalty or allegiance by the coaches to anything other than the job they now have.

So they're not going to get caught up in this whole fan stuff.

Hell, for all anyone knows, Matt LaFleur is going to be the coach of the Bears one of these days.

So I think he just got caught flat-footed by this.

You know, it's kind of like a little bit of the old WWE hype that we see where the two wrestlers –

you know, they act like they hate each other and then they're driving around in the car, drinking a beer after the match.

Like I just think it's a part of it is, and I'm not saying it's phony.

I think that it's, it's authentically contrived in that Ben Johnson knows if I'm going to be the coach of the bears, I hate the Packers period.

I love the bears.

I hate the Packers.

And, and as long as he's the coach of the bears, he's going to feel that way.

He may feel differently after that, but as long as he's the coach of the bears, that's the way he's going to feel.
