Those are the guys that I want.
I just feel like if you look at the percentages over time and what has worked consistently outside of the New England Patriots who had Tom Brady.
Those are the teams, for the most part, that get you all the way to the Super Bowl and often win Super Bowls and are in the mix to win them.
The final four consistently every single year is filled with top 10 offenses.
And the quickest way to get there, you can get there other ways.
That's not what the Seahawks are.
That's not what the Ravens were.
That's not what the Bills are.
The Ravens and Bills have Hall of Fame Super Bowl or MVP quarterbacks.
The quickest way to being a good offense every single year is to hire the right offensive coach, and that is what the Bears did, and it's the first time they even tried.
Ben Johnson is the first play-calling offensive coordinator that the Bears have hired in my lifetime.
Matt Nagy wasn't that.
Mark Trestman wasn't that.
So to me, it's the easiest way to find the right coach, and they've never done it before.
It was one of those scenarios where every time I talk about the Bears' inability to find a head coach, it's like, we haven't tried anything and we're all out of ideas.
And so doing the simplest thing, it finally got them to a place where it works.
And we talk all the time, and I think people fixate on this idea of...
And I get it.
You're Dan Campbell's and you're Mike Frabel's and these guys who look and talk and move like head coaches.
And that was the thing with Ben Johnson.
