On a scale of 1 to 10, on the newly created HeGone meter, where would you rate the idea of Bears defensive back coach Al Harris being hired by the Packers to be Green Bay's new defensive coordinator?
I think it's a nine. You know why? The stats I mentioned earlier in our show talking about Al Harris's success, both as the secondary coach with the Cowboys and then what he's done as the quarterback's coach with the Bears. He was set up to be put in this position. And don't forget, there's now a little bit extra juice. In this rivalry. So I'm pretty sure the Packers would love. To steal a Bears coach. And steal the knowledge. And the concepts. That help lead the Bears to victory. Over them twice. So if I had to guess. I know he talked to Washington too. But I think it's a 9 on the Higo meter.
So, don't mean to go all prices right on you, but I'm going to go 9.1. Because I echo all your sentiments, but I think I feel... You're stealing my showcase? No! I'm not stealing your showcase. I mean, I would like to if I get within, you know, $100. I can have both showcases. But then Grody's behind me, so am I even going to get off the stage?
You know I'll snake you.
Yeah, I know.
Grody's better than a dollar, let's face it.
It's 9.1 because... I just have a hard time believing that this man is not going to be somebody's defensive coordinator because not just what happened this past season, but he's got a longstanding track record of coaching his secondary to be disruptive and to be straight up Debo style felons, like taking your chain. I will take your football. That is what he has done so far. And I, I just really am concerned, unlike the next guy who's going to speak, about a bunch of assistants being gone after just one season. Because you built some stability and you built a foundation. And now a lot of that foundation appears to be... because it's hard for me to believe that he's going to stay unless he does an interview well.
But knowing Al Harris and what I've heard from him and what other people have said about him, who wouldn't want to have him if they have 10 jobs, 10 coaching jobs, 10 defensive coordinator opportunities. Somebody's going to take him. So that's a 9.5, Marshall? 9.1. He gone! 9.1.
Damn, when you put it together like that. I have to tell you guys, both of you, Layla and Marshall, your stats are very compelling. Like, you guys had me backing up against the wall in that second segment for sure.
I smell a butt coming.
Well... That man uses bear glove.
You won't smell it. It'll smell good.
Where is he using the bear glove now? I am marinated in bear glove. That's a good pickup line. You should have tried that at the Jewels. Hey, baby. Want some bear glove? That was so bad. Let's not do that.
Let's not do that.
How does the Bears coaching staff's stability impact the team's future?
Let's just say before you guys made the cases, and darn you guys for breaking out good information like that. It was probably at like a three or a four. A three or a four? Yeah, just because like historically it's like assistants leave and you recover. They regenerate. It's a lifestyle. Oh, do they recover? Vic Fangio left here and then what happened? Yeah, you're right. That's a good example of the replacement part not coming for a little while. So it was at a three, I think. Now, with the information you guys have given me, I'm going to put my worry meter... It does go up. It goes to... I'm going to make it a 5.5. And here's why. Because I... Understanding everything you guys have said, it makes the rivalry even juicier.
It just does make the rivalry even juicier. I'm happy for Al Harris, and I know you guys are too. And like I said earlier, Bears fans know how to dislike. I won't say hate. Bears fans know how to dislike Al Harris because he's been disliked here by Bears fans before.
I think you're answering a different question, though, because you said worry. No, no, no. This is on a scale of 1 to 10, how... Is he gone or not? So you're saying there's only like a 55% chance he's gone? Oh, it's not the worry meter?
