This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. And there is a lot happening today. We thank you for joining us on this Tuesday. Billy Donovan stepping down as the head coach of the Bulls was the news of the day. That broke earlier today. When we have breaking news on The Score, it is brought to you by IDOT. Speeding in a work zone is a no-win. Mind the signs. Avoid the fines. And before we get to the Caleb Williams discussion, because he spoke yesterday at Hallis Hall, we will talk Cubs with you in Happen 1125. Who's your guy?
What was the significance of Billy Donovan stepping down as Bulls head coach?
Is it 1225? Alert yourself. Alert your friends. We got the beast. I got it dialed up on my computer right here. It's a whole desktop and everything. It's connected with an Ethernet cable. So now that you know all of that, this news from Monty Poole, who covers the Warriors for NBC Sports Bay Area. Barring a renewed faith that would prompt a change of heart, according to this post, the belief is that Steve Kerr will not return as Warriors coach. Are you one step closer to your dream?
Listen, if Steve Kerr is out here wanting to stay in basketball but maybe doesn't want to take every road trip that a team goes on because that can be exhausting, I think front office for the Bulls sounds like a pretty good fit from that, we talked about it, Nostalgia standpoint. He's got the end with the Reinsdorfs, clearly. That seems to be an important element that other organizations I wouldn't be as concerned about. But I think they need to have some type of connection. especially since they did that two guys ago, and then the last guy didn't, and it didn't go well.
Two guys ago?
Yeah. We're talking about Paxton, right?
Who's your guy? Maybe we should do a Who's Your Guy GM edition.
We can absolutely do that.
My guy.
And then after they hire the lead executive, we can do Who's Your Guy coach edition.
$12.25 for the NFL edition, friends.
Oh, by the way, Layla. $12.25. Dane Brugler sent us a physical version of the beast. Oh my God. That happened when you were out of town.
They're in town today, right? Aren't they doing an event today?
I think that's correct.
And Matt Forte is involved.
Yeah. Dane Brugler, very busy guy this time of year, but he will join us a week from today to talk about the Bears draft picks.
I feel like we should do the thing where you like hold up the book. Oh, like, like we do, you know, in other places, like the house of worship is not the best example here because the beast is not worshipy, but we do exalt the beast. Hold it up. It actually just says The Beast in big block letters. How many pages is it?
Oh, let's see. How many pages is The Beast? Let's take a look. Some of these pages. Oh, 621 pages. 621. 622, technically.
We lost a lot of good trees out there.
RIP trees.
But we do it for sports. Somebody's putting that on their damn bookshelf. I'll tell you what. So we heard Caleb Williams yesterday speak. He did so later in the afternoon. Caleb was getting to work now that the Bears had team activities at Hales Hall. So he didn't speak until yesterday afternoon. And as we talked about the Bears saying, okay, yeah, last year was cool. We won a playoff game for the first time since 2011, this and that. Or as Caleb likes to say, and things like that. I feel like the goal for him personally for the season has been issued. Whether it's Ben Johnson, whether it's Ryan Poles, whether it's Caleb Williams himself, the completion percentage is not just on him. Receivers have to catch balls.
But listen to what Herb Howard asked him when it came to Ben Johnson bringing up what I think we should call, Marshall, maybe the drive to 70%.
Oh, it's a long, winding drive, but we've got to start somewhere. Let's start here.
We may never get there, but we'll make some friends along the way.
Coach reiterated that for him to be elite status and quarterback in this league, you got to be at 70% on completion rate. He also said that for you, that probably just means making about 40 or 50 more completions. And he said there's probably at least 90 on tape from last year, not even drops. One, do you agree with that assessment about what it takes to be elite status in this league?
