Wasn't one of the things that got Mike out of Tennessee the fact that he was such a big...
I would love to play for a guy like Mike Vrabel. I think Ryan Tannehill enjoyed playing for him. I think, obviously, Will Compton here at Barstool enjoyed playing for him, Taylor LeJuan. I agree with you, though. When you bring Mike Vrabel in, Mike Vrabel is not going to say, hey, Kevin Warren, I'm going to answer to you. Yeah, right. Hey, Ryan Poles, I'm going to answer to you.
He's coming in there, and he's going to be the alpha dog. Even if you don't give him full control, you're still going to feel like he has full control.
Here's my two suggestions, and these are off the wall, out of the box thinking. I think you have to bring in someone that knows Caleb Williams. And I know that people have talked about. Don't you, Cliff. No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.
Don't take Cliff from me. Don't say Lincoln Riley. Cliff. No, don't take Cliff from me. I will start with Cliff. I've heard rumors that there's some interest there for Cliff to become the head coach.
There's no interest per me. I don't think that Cliff would go to that job personally. For Lincoln Riley, it hasn't worked out the way they want it to at USC. I don't believe that Lincoln would succeed in Chicago as the head coach. But if he wanted to come to the NFL... and be with the quarterback that he won a Heisman Trophy with, you make him the offensive coordinator.
I don't know if he would do that. I don't know if he would either. He's making a boatload of money at USC. Whoever is working with Caleb doesn't need to be someone that comes in and tries to, hey, let's change what he is. Let's change what he does. They need to know him. That was a big reason why I thought Caleb – should want to go to Washington because he had Cliff there who knew how he is.
And I think we would all believe that Caleb would have started faster this year if he had Cliff Kingsbury as his offensive coordinator. So that to me would be an out-of-the-box, bring Cliff as the head. But I think Lincoln Riley, there's something there of maybe bringing in him or a coordinator that Caleb worked with so they can help him continue to grow.
But at a head coach spot, until they really iron out the structure – I don't see why any top coach would pick the Bears outside of you get Caleb and you got all these weapons on offense.
It doesn't give me PTSD. It's just I care too much. I talk to PFT every now and then, and I talk about the commanders. It's not about what I went through. I talk about Lamar, and I talk about my process of being a mentor for him. I just care too much, guys. I had a coach tell me that once. It was Jay Gruden. He just told me, hey, man, you need a hobby or something. Go play some golf.
You care too much about winning. You care too much about winning in the weight room, winning in the film room, winning on the field. You need to loosen up.
When I see these quarterbacks get thrown in these situations, a lot of guys, there's one, I can't remember, he's always on Pat McAfee's show, former GM, and he was trying to take some stabs at me and say that I always look at it from a player's perspective. Well, if you're a player and you come in and you've got a shitty organization...
and they're not helping you succeed like a Baker Mayfield going to Cleveland. And now you look at him in Tampa, and he's a $40 million quarterback. You look at Sam Darnold with the Jets. He goes to the Vikings, and they're 10-2.
And they want to poke holes in everything you do. So when it's know your why, and I ask 50 of my teammates on Twitter, because it was Twitter at the time, What is what's your why? And they're all responding back. It's like, oh, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. We went ten and six. We won the division. We're winning all these awards, all these accolades.
But then the next year you go four and twelve. And now when you say no, your why at the tendency is to say that's why they're not successful.
right yeah as well well we were successful yeah it was the previous guys liked it it was the same thing it's like when when cam newton wins a game and he puts on the crazy outfit yeah that guy looks awesome and he loses the game it's like why is he wearing a peacock on his neck exactly and like we understand as players like now at 34 i understand the ebbs and flows of that you don't you don't take it personally as a player anymore because you understand that when you're winning everything is fine
Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, for I'm sure Caleb comes to Chicago. He realizes that the fan base is phenomenal. Right. Like I'm not mad at the Bears. I don't I don't. Well, no, you were right. It's fine to be right, but I don't do it to be right. I'm trying to educate you with my own opinion. So Caleb comes here. He's probably like, oh, I'm going to be the guy. I'm going to throw for 4,000 yards.
I'm going to be the franchise QB. So when you get here at first, you don't have a focus of, hey, what's going on with Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles and what's going on with the McCaskies. You just come in and you do your job. You're trying to win over your locker room.
And I was a little bothered by the fact that even before Caleb got to the locker room, there were people in the locker room saying, hey, he can't come up in here being Hollywood.
